(Lanka-e-News- 06.March.2016, 11.30PM) The residents of Rathupaswala who were subjected to the worst injustice, torment , torture and inhuman treatment by the murderous inhuman Rajapakses simply because those residents legitimately asked for pure water for drinking , are to be granted all their demands through the intervention of the incumbent president of the government of good governance, Maithripala Sirisena. We are happy to break this most sensational welcome news , as revealed by the secretary to the president who has consented .
The 39 residents of Rathupaswala including the journalists who fell victims in the Rathupaswala attack are to be paid compensation . In addition under the map presented by the villagers , a minimum quantity of pure drinking water to the value of Rs. 3000.00 per village is to be provided to 27 villages. The 2 bogus cases filed by the previous regime against groups of 24 , and 6 villagers are also to be withdrawn. The secretary to the president who agreed with all the above terms and conditions has stated that by the 5 th of April those will be implemented.
The Sri Lanka (SL) young journalists association and , the Rathupaswala Siyane environment protection joint organization were agitating for some time to win these demands .
The president’s secretary and the relevant officials had a special discussion yesterday (04) at the presidential secretariat , when the president’s secretary on behalf of the president concurred to grant all the requests.
It is well to recall , when the Rathupaswala residents made a justifiable and reasonable demand for pure drinking water because toxic wastes (acid) were being released to the water of the region by Hayleys Dip product gloves manufacturing factory at Rathupaswala thereby contaminating the entire environment, the Medamulana brutal corrupt Rajapakse family regime at that time during its oppressive and repressive reign , without paying heed to that most reasonable request , sent its war tanks to attack the people who were wilting under thirst instead of sending water bowsers to quench their thirst. It is most significant to note it was most Ven. Theripehe Sirdhamma Thera who came forward on behalf of the oppressed and thirsty residents then to stage a fast – not hooligan Gnanassara who is desecrating the saffron robe and disgracing his own faith only to eagerly and shamelessly tie pirith thread around the wrists of murderers and heroin peddlers .For this disservice done by this monk to society, nation and religion , even posterity will remember him as a ‘unique’ monk from the junk.
On the 1 st of August 2013 , the ruthless Rajapakses who were also rudderless at that time sent the army to shoot and kill the residents of Rathupaswala who were staging protests as a last resort to win their demand - a ‘drop’ of pure drinking water . It was on that day , Daya Ratnayake took up appointment as the army commander then. Unbelievably, the first task he undertook was sending the murderer Brigadier Deshapriya Gunawardena to Rathupaswala and shoot down the unarmed Rathupaswala residents. The criminal result or rather the brutal ‘achievement’ of the army commander immediately after his appointment through his killer brigadier was the killing of two innocent students, Akila and Ravishan, while the other victim was a father of a child who was doing a job. In addition because of the ruthless shooting and asault launched by the army , 39 innocents including journalists sustained injuries. All of them were hospitalized.
Today , what remains to be done is meting out exemplary punishment to these murderous rascals and scoundrels who committed those crimes , so that it will deter and daunt others of their ilk in the future.
