(Lanka-e-News -04.Oct.2015, 8.30PM) Yesterday when my child and I were travelling along Galle Road at Dehiwala I was rudely shocked by a spectacle that met my eyes .That is, the groups that were prodding and propelling Rajapakse to victory and determined to defeat Maithripala , and even now deeply in their toils in that direction are now taking president Maithripala Sirisena down the garden path.I saw the preliminary deceitful and diabolic actions of these groups with amazement.
These photographs will tell a thousand stories pertaining to these hypocrites and opportunists. ‘We salute the president who rescued the prestige of the motherland’ were the slogans in the cutouts along Galle road .The cutouts were on display at Dehiwala roundabout and municipal council, Dehiwala.
Apparently these cutouts were out in conjunction with the UN Human rights sessions that were successfully concluded yesterday.
This cutout ‘carnival’ had been organized by the Dehiwala –Mt. Lavinia SLFP electorate organizers and supporters. As far as I know this ‘carnival’ has been organized by none other than pro MaRa confirmed notorious crooked mayor Dhanasiri Amaratunge.It is his hypocrisy and hollow politics which are his favorite occupation which have obviously prompted him to carry out this ostentatious false display . Anyway , there is none who does not know about his opportunistic politics .
It is an acknoweledged , well and widely known fact that we drove Mahinda home , not to witness again a repetition of his cheap publicity gimmicks by another leader ,not to mention by his successor . The civil population including myself brought about the change on 8 th January to have a State leader who would fondly remain in our hearts, not for us to see his photographs in cutouts put out by hypocritical scheming so called supporters along roads , on lamp posts , roundabouts and pavements in the same way as did his predecessor who tried to achieve by false publicity and hollow displays what he could not achieve in substance and reality.
By these bogus exhibitionisms , it is only those who risked their lives and worked with commitment for the change and on behalf of good governance who are being offended , for these political parties , individuals and organizations did not make those supreme sacrifices risking even their lives to repeat what Mahinda did until he met his Waterloo.
Moreover , it is a universal truth that , the country’s lost international image has now been refurbished and revived because of the commitment and dedication shown in that direction by the president , prime minister , foreign minister , political parties, patriotic media , individuals , and civil organizations , and not because of the racist , corrupt , crooked pro MaRa scoundrels and rascals who aligned behind Mahinda Rajapakse during the last two elections . The nation should by now be able to appreciate this stark truth .
Let us also make it abundantly clear it is not Maithripala Sirisena with inadequate fluency in English language who held discussions with the international leaders to re build and restore the image of the country internationally. This is not be construed as insulting him,but that is the indisputable stark fact.Hence we cannot conclude without issuing the dire warning that by Maithripala seeking a popularity which he hasn’t on this soil , throught cutouts , is only carving a short cut to disaster
