(Lanka-e-news- 20.May.2015, 11.30PM) President Maithripala Sirisena in total disregard of the 100 days interim program presented to the people at the last presidential elections as presidential candidate , and ignoring his solemn announcement made at the national education faculty at Polonnaruwa on 9 th April , said today, parliament will be dissolved and a new government will be formed in September this year.
The president made this revelation when he met with the media Institution owners and chiefs of the media this morning at the presidential secretariat ,Fort. The date of elections is decided by the elections commissioner , and president would not act according to the needs of astrologers , he added.
In accordance with the 100 days program the temporary government is to be dissolved after 100 days ,and a new parliament shall be appointed , he promised. That promise of his is not just a vague one for he had confirmed the date of dissolution as 23 rd April.
The Rajapakse corrupt and crooked slaves who are in a majority in parliament had been creating unwarranted mayhems and impediments in parliament to the detriment of the nation , as a result the ratification of the 19 th amendment was postponed until 28 th April.
The amendment was to be presented on the 20 th and the president too on April 9 th confirmed at Polonnaruwa ,the amendment will be presented in parliament on the 20 th , and no sooner this bill is passed than the parliament will be dissolved with a view to holding elections , while also disclosing there are some disputations within , and all those would be resolved after the next general elections .
Based on the revelations made by the president today discarding all his pledges , if the new parliament is to be appointed in September , he is creating room himself to go on for a further four months on this disputatious course.
Going by his announcement made today , it is evident he wants to go on for a further several months alongside and amidst the mayhem created and disgraceful treatment given to the sublime parliament by the SLFP crooks and slaves who have turned the parliament into a hotbed of vile , villainous , vituperative anti national and traitorous activities, illustrated by their shameless acts of turpitude and depravity including sleeping on the parliament carpets after indulging in drinking orgies ; tabling invalid unlawful no confidence motions; and making all the sordid and unscrupulous moves to stop the action duly taken by the present government to bring all the culprits and crooks to book . That is , they have all along been obstructing the investigations by the FCID now being conducted against criminal corrupt politicos , kith and kin , and henchmen of the Rajapakse regime.
The president who did not honor his promises he made that the parliament will be dissolved on two occasions earlier ,will he stand by his latest promise – come September ?
Another intriguing and important disclosure made by the president before the media personnel was :
The local mechanism to probe the human rights violations during the war shall begin in June and end in September.The government is averse to an international investigation , and this has been conveyed to Ban Ki Moon who had agreed to that , the president also stated.
The assurance that the investigation can be concluded within 3 months via the local mechanism is something unacceptable , and the undertaking given internationally is , as the parliament that is dismissed by a referendum cannot implement it , after the new parliament is formed , a local mechanism will be established.
Hence , if the government is dishonoring its undertakings , it’s a matter for doubt whether it will be accepted internationally. If that happens , the international investigation will come into being in September , in which event it will become obvious because of the personal agendas of the president overriding ,the country was driven into a dismal and disastrous plight .
The president’s announcement today at the media conference is totally contradictory to what Susil Premajayantha and Nimal Siripala the seniors of his own party said at a media briefing day before yesterday..
While the party seniors said , the special financial crime investigation division (FCID) will be dismantled ,the president on the other hand said , the CID that was established to probe into monumental financial frauds and embezzlements will not be disbanded, ‘I did not tell that it will be dismantled . I suggested to Ranil Wickremesinghe that one clause in the gazette notification establishing the FCID shall be amended.’
Though the president holds the position of president of the SLFP, he must be realizing that he has no control over its administration . If Susil and Nimal are openly defying and contradicting the stance of the party president , either they are jokers or the whole drama is spurious and a joke.
When a journalist questioned Maithripala over the statement made by ex president Mahinda Rajapakse that at various places the LTTE flag was displayed , the president ‘s answer was ,the state intelligence keeps him informed once every 24 hours of the day , and no such reports were received from anywhere. May be these flags are visible only to Mahinda Rajapakse , the president remarked sarcastically.
The president responding to the queries raised relating to the conspiracy at the Temple trees on 9 th January morning said , he would prefer not to use the word ‘conspiracy’. On that day , amidst discussions , certain decisions were to be taken and while the election results were being announced a sudden curfew was to be clamped . In this connection the CID is acting expeditiously to furnish a report to him , he noted
The clearing of Wilpattu conservation is wrong. Not one conservation should be cleared. Deforestation should be stopped. It is true that those displaced must be given alternative locations and to the second and third generations .Yet the conservation forests cannot be used for that. The resettlement in Wilpattu side was made on the recommendations of the task force pertaining to lands under the past regime. Investigations are on going in this regard.
Over the holding of the general elections and how it is to be conducted , there are issues within the party and whether or not the preferential voting must be abolished. In this connection discussions will be held today and tomorrow. (20 th and 21 st). The president also pledged to expedite the pension scheme of workers who are abroad , and to ensure that their right to franchise is granted.
