(Lanka-e-News -02.Oct.2016, 11.30PM) A meeting between president Maithripala Sirisena and the leaders of Civil organizations took place on the 1 st of November (night ).
It is specially noteworthy , this discussion was held by the president just a day ahead ( 1 st November night) of the public meeting of the civil organizations that was scheduled for 2 nd November in order to furnish answers to the insults that are being hurled against the Civil Organizations.
It is deducible that the president held this discussion (1 st night) at the last minute - just a day ahead of the public meeting convened by the civil organizations on the 2nd, in order to ward off the verbal onslaught that could be launched on him by the critics , because the president after his odious ‘cyanide’ speech has been continuously postponing the discussion requested by the civil organizations with him , and dilly dallying unendingly . It is only after the public rally of the civil organizations was decided to be held on the 2 nd to give ‘answers to the insults’, the president summoned them for a discussion on the 1 st (night).
The president following his odious ‘cyanide’ speech , in his interviews with two newspapers said, ‘ the leaders of civil organizations were provided the opportunity to meet and discuss with him before holding media conferences ,yet that did not take place.’ That was an absolute falsehood . Requests were made to the president to hold discussions, yet he finally summoned the civil organizations only on the 1 st night just hours before the scheduled public rally of the civil organizations on the 2 nd. In any event ,the Civil organization leaders including Prof. Sarath Wijesuriya , trade union leader Saman Rathnapriya, Senior lawyer C.J. Weliamuna, Sahithyadara ( Literary Scholar) Gamini Viyangoda and Ravaya editor K.W. Janaranjana participated in the discussions with the president.
The discussion lasted two hours , and many of the misgivings and misunderstandings that existed between the two sides were to a great extent ironed out.
The grouse and grievance of the leaders of the civil organizations was : owing to the cyanide speech of the president , the civil Organizations that worked with commitment to steer him to power , the independent Commissions , the independent investigators and the UNP party that was solely responsible to put him on the pedestal of power had been hurt and harmed. They also pointed out after the cyanide speech, the granting of bail without any hindrance to criminals too had reached alarming proportions.
It was implied the president did accept that harm had been done because he did not offer any answer to contradict them.
The president then said, when the most vital new constitution is being formulated and the political reforms are being introduced in the future , the trust and confidence of the SLFP shall be won , and therefore he has to be sensitive to those.
Another matter that earned the displeasure of the president was , the investigations into corruption being conducted on a biased manner.
In support of his contention , he cited with regret the corruption cases of Gamini Senarath and Premasiri the two notorious rogues of the Blue brigand of the Rajapakse era ,which are proceeding at snail’s pace .
May be the incumbent president had forgotten that Gamini Senarath is a bosom pal of the present secretary to president Maithripala Sirisena himself ,and both of them are notorious crooks of the Rajapakse Blue brigand .Nevertheless the question raised by the president is seemingly justifiable, because both these notorious Blue Brigand crooks Gamini Senarath and Premasiri are even now as free as free birds ,thanks to the weakness of the good governance government ,despite the treacheries and robberies they committed .Hence both sides had discussions in this regard and arrived at a consensus.
The leaders of the civil organizations pinpointed , the two parties ,that is the UNP and the SLFP under Maithripala Sirisena shall forge ahead as a consensual government by resolving the differences and issues immediately , and bring about the economic and political reforms which are vital for the country . That is most imperative and is the task before them right now, it was concluded.
The president too fully acquiesced to it . Finally the discussion ended in a most cordial note with everyone expressing their satisfaction.
