(Lanka-e-News -03.July.2015, 11.00PM) The communique supposedly under the letterhead of the UPFA and purporting to bear the signature of Susil Premajayantha which claims that president Maithripala Sirisena has decided to grant nomination under the UPFA to deposed Mahinda Rajapakse is a suspicious document and its contents have been rejected by the president..
The president has rejected this when he spoke via phone with the leader of the movement for just society Ven. Madhuluwawe Sobitha Thera this evening . When Ven. Thera had asked for an appointment from president to meet him , the president had revealed this.
By that time when this suspicious communique had done the rounds and media publicity had been given to it , the Ven. Thera had told the president ‘now, meeting you serves no purpose for you have done what ought not be done’, and cancelled the appointment. At that point the president answering Ven . Thera had said ,he has nothing to do with what is contained in this communique , and it is something done by Susil which he shall probe into.
Priort to this notice , the previous day (02) President Maithripala during the discussions with the UPFA leaders made it abundantly clear to them , he would not give nominations to Mahinda Rajapakse . This morning Vasudeva Nanyakkara also told the media that Mahinda not get nominations and this was confirmed at yesterday’s discussions.
However this morning , the UPFA secretary Susil Premajayantha , Dinesh Gunawardena and Weerawnsa have met .Following this meeting this suspicious communique was released to the media, and at the discussions organized by the pro Mahinda Rajapakse group today , Dinesh Gunawardena only stated this is a media communique. Thereafter the media discussion was postponed. In any event Susil Premajayantha has not made any statement so far in this regard.
No matter what , if this media communique is untrue , the presidential media division had enough time to repudiate it officially , but it has not done that yet.
When Lanka e news inquired about this from the Presidential media director general and media secretary , they are not answering the call . The private phone number of the president too is also in off mode .Even the phone numbers of individuals who are close to the president are in off mode.
Tonight , a dinner has been arranged on acount of former president Chandrika Bandranaike’s birthday to which president Maithripala is expected to attend. The president is expected to give a clear and definite answer on that occasion.
The suspicious document released to the media is what was spoken about at themedia discussion participated by worthless and aimless slaves like Dinesh Gunawardena , which is pubished herein. In that it is very clear there are several deletions and interpolations . During the last presidential elections too a forged document was released to the media purportedly signed by Maithri and Ranil. Later the government analyst confirmed that the document is fake. Tissa Attanayake had to go to remand owing to this.
Hence , as the Rajapakses and those around him are most infamously famous for these types of forgeries and fake documentation , issuing bogus media notifications is no big deal to them ; even Weerawansa’s wife was remanded for possessing forged passport allegedly with Weerawansa’s concurrence.
English Translation of said communique as follows
Media communique
At the UPFA leaders meeting held on 2015-07-02 chaired by the UPFA leader and SLFP chairman ,his excellency the president Maithripala Sirisena, it was decided that at the forthcoming elections ex president Mahinda Rajapakse shall be given nominations to contest under the UPFA .Accordingly in the next few days the UPFA nominations are to be prepared .
After the nominations are over , the UPFA elections committee will commence its activities at the UPFA political offices.
It is our hope with the blessings of the SLFP and UPFA , all progressive parties shall contest the elections as a broad people’s force with a view to emerge victorious at the elections

It's a shame we Sri Lankans has to live with it for rest of our lives, we brought MR Sirisena to the presidency with lot of effort. if he lost that time many thousands should have joined the majority.his road to presidency was like re run of cinderella story where neglected step daughter became princess. but today he for his glory to retain his SLFP leadership made a U turn.
whole world will see this country as a laughing stock ,
going by today's happenings we wont be surprised even Mr Sirisena marries Shiranthi and Mahinda marring Madam Jayanthi,
I used the word Madam purposely for 1st lady bcos she deserves this.

Dear President,
I am a UNP member , but voted for you keeping faith on you thinking of you as a genuine person.
Pls respect for people's verdict.

Very much disappointed and dejected by President's action. This is the greatest betrayal. Don't understand why he did it. It is a shame. He has lost all the respect he earned.
It is time for Madame Chandirika to give leadership to SLFP again and join the UNP to form the next government.

Dear President
You told us if MR won January the 8th, you and your family should have been in 6 feet down
You told us that you are a witness of brutal killing by MR some decades ago
Your police spokesman told us that you were narrowly missed in Agunakolepalessa
Do not feed snakes, for the sake of your own security.
The country must come first before the part

Finally the cookie crumbles. Dear President, you have deceived the people who voted for you. Now your supporters know which party to elect to power.
Liar! Liar! Pant's on fire.
Sir, Never forget the power of the people nor the power of the Supreme Creator. a verdict will be given that will humble you to your senses at the elections.

Folks , do not jump into wrong conclusions due to misleading media reports. The President, neither signed the
UPFA letter, now in circulation in the media nor he had made any official and public statement confirming the
reports.. He cannot turn his back on 6.4 million people just like that and on the international community, who treats him as a statesman for his work on reconciliation on a divided people. This is what Tissa Attanayake
did while he was kicked out from UNP and he was arrested as all people know for circulating forged document. The same thing will happen here and some on will have to answer for circulating a document among the media stating that it got the approval of the President. The President has confirmed to highly respected Ven sobitha Thera that he knows nothing about the report, so, Lets wait for President's statement on this vital subject. It will be suicidal if he takes a wrong move now, which will not only pave the way for an easy win for UNP in the elections but also it will turn out to be death knell for SLFP/UPFA., which is trying desperate attempts to bring back the old regime for their own protection from court cases against corruption and other wrong doings.
