Law abiding citizens duped ;corrupt unpunished ; new constitution in doubt -Prof. Wijesuriya bemoans (Audio and Video)

- A united citizens’ revival campaign imperative

(Lanka-e-News- 20.Dec.2016, 10.05 PM) It is now clear that the agreement signed by the two constituent groups of the ruling government with the people which was  led by Late Ven. Sobitha Thera on 8 th January 2015 , have been blatantly  violated , a result of which the law abiding citizens have been  ruthlessly duped  , while the crooks , the corrupt and murderers are going unpunished . Even the new constitution which is the final hope  of the people is day by day evaporating .Hence a most vigorous united citizens’ revival campaign has to be launched to combat this situation , said , professor Sarath Wijesuriya , the convener of the  national campaign for just society when he attended the commemoration ceremony  of Late Ven. Sobitha Thera at Kurunegala on the 16 th.

The professor elucidated in detail  , how the people had been duped after 8th January 2015 from the very outset . Though Late Ven Sobitha Thera who was supposed to have been appointed to the organization- the so called   National executive council , never a day was he  extended an invitation , and the council took no action, meaning that Ven. Sobitha was deceived, the professor lamented.  
 
The 100 days program was a proposal of the UNP , and since the UNP will lose if it had gone  for elections at that juncture , it was decided to offer unlimited relief during  the short period as a strategy . However , because the unlimited relief was offered sans a plan , the government is now having no financial resources to carry on the government , the professor pointed out.

Although it was said , the post of president of the SLFP was granted to Maitrhripala Sirisena , there wasn’t such a  special appointment, because by law  by virtue of the mere fact he is  the president of the country , he was entitled to hold  that post. Maithripala after becoming the president of the SLFP , gave nominations to all the corrupt except three , thereby pulverizing all the cherished  aspirations  of the people .
 
It is now confirmed that both parties are not meting out punishment to the corrupt , the professor pinpointed while expressing shock and dismay at the invitation extended to Gotabaya  along with the president and the P.M. for the unveiling of late Dudley Senanayake’s statue . It is the president or the P.M. who must  have invited Gotabaya the criminal who in fact ought to be in jail. While Gotabaya is directly responsible for the murders committed during the previous government , measures are now being taken to rescue him , the professor bemoaned while supporting his allegations with evidence. 

The forces of the 8th January rainbow revolution cannot  get  disillusioned based on these . Whether the SLFP  or the UNP should be elected in 2020 is  of no use for the masses , but under no circumstances should room be created for the deposed and defeated  Rajapakses to rear  their   heads again , and to ensure this  the citizens must unite as one force on  a renaissance  campaign, the professor observed.
