Fonseka again in Parliament as M.P.!

(Lanka-e-News 15.Jan.2015, 9.30PM) The present Maithri-Ranil government is making arrangements to exalt and elevate the former army commander Sarath Fonseka who was made a most tormented victim of worst trials and tribulations despite his winning the war for the country, and almost dying in the process owing to an LTTE suicide bomber’s attack targeting him and him alone.

He is to be given a most important ministerial portfolio !

Though instructions were given to withdraw his penalty within 72 hours , technological impediments have militated against it. If he is be granted a Presidential pardon , the cases pending against him is operating as a bar . That is, these cases must be concluded first.. At present there are 8 cases pending against Fonseka , and in respect of many of them the general had filed appeals . .Firstly , these appeals must be withdrawn. Thereafter , the general can become a free individual under the presidential pardon , whereupon he will become eligible to all the posts , positions , medals and honor he was deprived of earlier.

Meanwhile if he is to be granted a ministerial portfolio , he must first enter parliament as a representative for ,his ministerial position was annulled on a court decision. This annulment can be withdrawn by a Presidential pardon , but there is already a member of parliament appointed in his place. Nevertheless , technological impediments have been introduced previously to ensure Fonseka cannot again enter Parliament as a member, information about which cannot be disclosed at the moment. In any event all these bars and barriers will be hopefully and effectively demolished in the not too distant future.

A very deserving step! This fearless and devoted great General who actually fought and led the war at the risk of his life was wrongfully and cruelly incarcerated by the former President Mahinda Rajapaksa for the “fault” of coming forward to contest him at the Presidential election 2010. He was not given his due credit but was kept out of the limelight thereafter. Woe unto him for his most ungrateful act.
