Date of no confidence motion against Ravi confirmed: will parliament be dissolved before that ?

(Lanka-e-News- 17.June.2015, 7.30PM) The date for the debate on the no confidence motion that is being brought forward by a majority of UPFA  M.P.s against finance minister Ravi Karunanayake has been fixed for  6 th  of July .If the no confidence motion is taken for debate on that day , because the UPFA wields the majority , the government can be defeated without doubt. If that happens , the minority party the UNP will not be able carry on the government. In the circumstances , if the government is to be saved , what t president Maithripala can do is dissolve parliament ahead of 6 th July. 

The proposed no confidence motion steered by  the UPFA rogues and rascals who were booted out  by the people on the 8 th of January by ballot  has driven president Maithripala into a deep quandary.

Though   president Sirisena the ‘gentleman’ is opposed to no confidence motions, the ‘thieves on behalf of thieves’ team of the UPFA of which he is the leader ,is   bringing forward no confidence motions unrelentingly , which implies that despite the fact that Maithripala Sirisena is the leader of the SLFP and UPFA , he is a mere figurehead , and has no control over them.

It is significant to note that  even after  the UNP has made an official request three days ago  to the president to dissolve parliament , Sirisena has not made an official statement in that regard until now , implying that he is not ready to dissolve parliament right now. This attitude only creates the impression in the minds of the people that Sirisena  and none else is behind the no confidence motion that is being steered forward by the ‘thieves on behalf of  thieves’ team. 

The people are also compelled to draw the reasonable inference that Maithripala Sirisena is hand in glove with the ‘thieves on behalf of thieves’ team after having wickedly  forgotten that it is the UNP party members who made supreme sacrifices even risking their lives to make Maithripala the president of the country. 

It is also the consensus among the people that by appointing ex premier Dimu Jayaratne who placed the first signature for the attempted  no confidence motion against the prime minister , as president’s advisor after a few days , Sirisena has proved that it is he who was behind that no confidence motion.

Miathripala Sirisena who came to power on the blood, sweat and toils of the main opposition UNP force ,  after becoming president  and taking over the leadership of the defeated SLFP (the main party of the UPFA)  is even at the moment brazenly,  blatantly and iniquitously  engaged in activities that are most hostile and hurtful to the force that moved heaven and earth to install him in power by  working indefatigably day and night. Sirisena is now after abandoning his solemn promises to the people and instead of resolving their  burning issues is toiling day and night only to install a UPFA government in power.

Any politician wants to be the leader of the party in order to finally become the leader of the country, and not for any other reason. Hence it is being justifiably questioned by the masses , for what other maniacal reason did Maithripala after becoming the leader of the country , the highest in the hierarchy at a time when he was not  a party leader,  grab again the leadership of the party afterwards? .

It is no issue if that is the  party which served as the launch pad for Maithripala to come to power .On the contrary that is a party that was earnestly awaiting to bury Maithripala and his family six feet under ground .Hence, taking over a leadership of such a party subsequently , and seeking to betray and play false the main force that elevated him to the present position of country’s president is unpardonable and unconscionable  unless Sirisena the ‘genetleman’ has gone  raving mad owing to his unjustifiable ingratitude  and loss of equilibrium on the side of sane and sensible thinking. 

When Maithripala addressed the nation at Dalada Maligawa , Kandy after becoming the president he loudly exhorted , ‘get accustomed to riddance’. But afterwards when he began  grabbing  the leadership of the party  discarded by the people , is he ‘getting accustomed  to grabbing’ instead , the very  masses are questioning.

Maithripala Sirisena the ‘gentleman’ on SLFP platforms made loud announcements that he did not enter into any pact with the UNP ,only to please and bolster the spirit of the SLFP ers while not realizing he was simultaneously and shamelessly defecating on the graves of the two UNP members who sacrificed their lives for him during  the presidential elections .

With the attempted no confidence motions against the prime minister and the finance minister , Sirisena the ‘gentleman’ has made a betrayal of his so called  policies. The masses are therefore compelled to remind him ,”Maithri the gentleman , either be Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde, don’t  be both . If it is ‘no confidence’ it should be ‘no confidence.’ If it is ‘confidence’ it should be ‘confidence’ .You cannot mix up both , please understand it . Either be a friend or an enemy. Being both is sheer hypocrisy.”
    
Maithripala Sirisena by now must understand, his true face even if it is  hideous cannot be masked any longer and hidden from the masses. Please therefore honorably dissolve parliament before the masses take to the streets .Otherwise you may have to dissolve it amidst great humiliation and disgrace. 

Leaders who relied on lip service and hypocrisy alone to succeed have bitten the dust .No matter how friendly you are with ‘Mr.  procrastination’ and using him  to serve your fell foul agendas , please take note that the masses who defeated  the den of thieves, of  which group you are now the leader are certainly going to throw  them out lock, stock and barrel again for sure.

The people’s revolution of 8 th January cannot be reversed however hard anyone may try against it.
