Rajapakse regime attacked democracy without any fear or shame – Somawansa Amarasinghe PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 09 February 2010 20:50

 

“General Fonseka, who dedicated himself to eradicate terrorism from this land, was apprehended the way a terrorist is seized and Rajapakse regime, by carrying out the move, attacked without any shame, what was left of democracy in the country said Leader of the JVP Somawansa Amarasinghe.   He said this speaking at a press conference held at the office of Gen. Sarath Fonseka today (9th).
The Deputy Leader of the UNP Karu Jayasuriya, Leader of SLMC Rauff Hakeem, Leader of Western People’s Front Mano Ganeshan, Sirithunga Jayasuriya, Sarath Manamendra, Lal Perera and several other leaders of political parties participated at the press conference.
Speaking further Mr. Amarasinghe said, “The officers who came to arrest Gen. Fonseka took him as if a terrorist was seized. I was there at the time. I saw all that with my eyes. We informed the incident to the media immediately. The security officials had taken away cameras and other equipment of the journalists who were present there. We also informed the world regarding this incident. Now the world is aware of this incident.
Now we have a question to ask from the masses in this country. Do you endorse this treatment meted out to the Army Commander who gave leadership to defeat terrorism in the country, who, without any concern for his own life, dedicated himself to bring victory to the Motherland? We also ask those who cast their votes to Mr. Mahinda Rajapakse whether they approve the move?
We also should mention that there are many Army officers who are being detained. We have to find out whether it is legal to detain them in that manner. The government accuses them of conspiracy, a coup and factionalizing of the Army. This is all because Gen. Sarath Fonseka contested Mr. Mahinda Rajapakse at the presidential election. Mahinda Rajapakse could   not establish the cultured society that should have been created after defeating terrorism. The wrong Gen. Fonseka did, according to the thinking of Mahinda Rajapakse and his clan, was the eradication of terrorism and coming forward to create a just and cultured society.  
The general election will be held soon. Gen. Fonseka would be a great challenge to Mahinda Rajapakse regime. This is one of the reasons for the arrest of Gen. Fonseka. Mahinda Rajapakse has attacked what was left of democracy in the Motherland without any fear or shame. We would like to ask whether this is the end of democracy in the country.”

They might even kill you with some slow poison.They know you are the only challenger for them.
You will prevail because your hero , criminals are always criminals, they will be punished.God's judgment never goes wrong.

At last the Great Mahanayake had the courage to tell the Truth to the world. All other religious leaders should raise their voice not for Benz or Rathana Palace but for the future of this Great Country.

The truth is not necessarily to be approved by the majority, Number of Votes does not give any assurance about the Truth. When you have 10 people in a group which consist of one wise person and 9 fools, These 9 fools will take one side while as majority but still Wise person is correct but he has only one Vote, other fools have 9 Votes i.e 90% majority Votes. This is what is call Democracy at present.

Few months back War Hero now in the prison, those who robbed billions of peoples property are now in Palaces, Former Deshapremi JVP leaders wash all dirty cloths in these palace.

Those who equate Mahinda with King Dutugemunu should realize their metal capacity now.
Those who vote for Mahinda have to regret every day for this type of unfair, brutal, foolish activities for an other 7 years and then his son Nalmal’s nonsense from there onward.

What I fear the most is that Retired General Fonseka will be shot will trying to escape having smuggled in a hand grenade which he just happened to have hidden somewhere about his body as he was being dragged along the floor.

This project of the government is being taken place by steps.
Step 1 - Removing the heads of three armed forces.
Step 2 - Appointing their coward stooges to the top positions.
Step 3 - Distancing the people from armed forces spreading lies.
step 4 - Humiliate the top commanders who fought heroically, and show
them as traitors to the public.
step 5 Showing that the politicians fought the war and extend
their tenure for lifetime.

Arrest of SF is a part of consparacy to stop Election Petion which is to be lodged. I hope that even if SFis in detention this petion will go ahead.

At last Rajapaksas will get God's punishment.

Irrespective of politics people of Sri Lankan now have to identify the venomous opportunists like Gotabhaya and Basil who had very little main stream education and were hiding in America all these years until their brother was given SLFP leadership to contest. Now, Rajapakse extended family is living in heaven, stealing our resources left and right while killing anyone from media or otherwise, who questioned their criminal acts. They wanted to fool all of us disrespecting our educated and patriotic citizens who were always there and ready to give their lives for the country instead of running away like Gotabhaya and Basil did.


No Rajapakse can stand close to people like Sarath N de Silva or Sarath Fonseka or many other true life long patriots and well educated people who serve this country all their lives. We all supported the govt and military during war against LTTE. Now we need to save our country from this uneducated, undemocratic Rajapakse family terrorism without delay. Now, Rajapakse’s are avariciously indulgent themselves with all western luxuries at our cost while fooling us by blaming the west to polarize the many less educated Sri Lankans and get votes during election times. Rajapkase’s have one motive and that’s to make their families thrive at any cost to all other citizens. Everyone who helped these Rajapakse goons starting from Chandrika, Anura, Mangala Samraweera, many other party organizers, and well respected officers like CJ Sarath N Silva, Sarath Fonseka, all were treated as thrash once their duty was over. The way they behave with political vengeance, this Rajapakse family menace is going to be much worse than LTTE. We need to stop this maniac, undemocratic, dictatorial, uneducated family ruining our country anymore. It is the duty of all parties and citizens who see the danger of Rajapakses' and their spouses' families to act now. Sarath Fonseka got millions of votes and they should strike and cripple with protests until this government collapses.

Giving the democracy to the people is suicidal to the Rajapaksa clan. They have gone too far against the people and the country. The only option left for them is the further suppression of people's whatever existing democratic rights.
Within last 24 hours I have seen a very significant change of people's views of the corrupted Rajapaksa clan. The very people who have vigorously supported Rajapaksa in the election have now understood that they made a critical mistake. It won't take too long for the whole country to go against Sri Lankan Hitler, Rajapaksa. Undoubtedly the Sri Lankan people will defeat this corrupted Rajapaksa clan and bring them to justice.

Now we need some urgent steps from everyone in Sri Lanka and away.
1. A solidarity movement to defeat the common enemy.
2. No differences at all among opposition parties or other people.
3. To have a consensus on selecting future MPs without making problems
for the sake of the country at large. Make sacrifices now.
4. The symbol must ne the SWAN to respect our heroic leader SF and to
show our gratitude to him for all sacrifices he made and making now.
5. His arrest and dissolution of the parliament were well timed so that SF
will not be able to contest and he will not be able to follow up his
court case effectively nor SF will be able to give ant possible
evidence on war crimes.
6. If SF fails by some reason then all parties must unanimously bring
forward Madam SF to the stage to lead the struggle for existence for
the people when democracy is killed and smelling !
7. Army high ranks are politicized and no more discipline or law is
seen among them. Officers are bound to respect both Military Law and
Civil Law. Those so called 'High Rankers' really insult other ranks
in the military by not setting examples just like MR Idi Amin's idiots.
8. The discilpinarian SF is no more there. People respected the forces
after the war. Do they respect now ? If they do want respect, all
Junior Ranks and NCO's and other ranks should not carry out
and unlawful unethical orders given to them. They should be ready to
attack and defend their ranks from those corrupted big bosses in the
forces.
9. Politicians in Sri Lanka and all Respected patriotic people living
in other countries must organise in full srength to enlighten all
relevant foriegn powers and organisations to take quick steps to
interfere with Sri Lanka Govt. For instance Lawyers in the UK can
draft a document for the International Court of Justice, get people to
sign a petition through a website to be forwrded to the PM in England
or the Foriegn Sec. and so on and so on.
10.Common Wealth Office, EU. USA etc. should immediately look in to these
serious CRIMES against HUMANITY in SRI LANKA triggered by STATE
TERRORISTS including some dirty rascals in Forces.
WAKE UP BROTHERS ! SISTERS ! ALL PARENTS ! and EVERYBODY else to save
our country of our heritage before our land becomes the sole property
of IDIAMIN family.

LONG LIVE OUR COUNTRY SRI LANKA !!!

Dear Sir General Fonseka.
You already knew that yopu would be arrested by bastered. You are so brave enough not to flee the country. My libyan,Eygypt and Zimbanve friends told me the same story.They have not got a opposition to counteract against the present government their country.This is what happened to Srilanka.NO WE MUST CHANGE IT SOON.
MORE than 40 lakhs people are behind you Sir.Gota and brothers will not remain in power for ever.Lord Buddha visited three times to our Motherland. This country been blessed by Lord Buddha and Gods,not by Magadi Raja and Family.
I am thinkking about your well being every seconed Sir. NOT ONLY ME. I suggest all Srilankan MUST light a candle every night praying for your well being.Without you Sir we are lost.
Madam Fonseka, as a good wife and a lovely mother I beg you that you must be strong as your brave husband.Budu saranai

His Excellency General Sarath Fonseka the people of Sri Lanka are with you. It is you who secured 6 Million Votes and not your chief opponent. We all know this, even the World Leaders are aware of it. Why is Mahinda Rajapakse afraid of His Excellency General Sarath Fonseka, because of his rigging the Presidential Elections - every one knows that. Why is Gota-Bhaya (his name speaks for itself) afraid that the truth and nothing but the truth will be voiced. The Rajapakse's will burn in the LAKE OF SULPHUR - take a walk on the street and one could hear the masses cursing them. LORD JESUS HAVE MERCY ON SRI LANKA AND MAY YOUR WRATH REST UPON THE RAJAPAKSE'S.

It is a gross violation of rights and principles of any democratic or civilized society, and an abhorrent disgrace to our country. If the Govt had any indication that Sarath Fonseka was planning a coup while he was army commander, he should have been dealt with at that time and not now. This proves how desperate the Rajapaksa regime is to hang on to power by dictatorial means. All civilized Lankans should -- no matter what Party they belong to -- demand immediate release of Fonseka. This is definitely not the way to treat the hero who saved our Motherland from terrorism. The current state of affairs in my Motherland is unfortunately grave.

So far the only person to stand up to the Baboon was Gen Sarath Fonseka, Mahinda the Goonda, thought that by making each Sri Lankan swear his allegiance MENTIONING A HITLERIEN OATH” YOU ARE WITH ME OR AGAINST ME” I WAS SUGGESTED THIS DURING MY VISIT TO LANKA, I BEING A STRONG OPPONANT TO ANY DICTATORSHIP REPLIED “NO” IF THE BABOON DID NOT HAVE AN OPPOSITION TO THE ELECTIONS HE HAD A PLEBISCITE OF 9O PERCENT. THIS MEANT THAT HE COULD DO ANYTHING WITH ANYONE. THEREBY HAVING A DYNASTY LIKE KIM IL SUNG IN NORTH KOREA. AND HIS GOOD BUDDY THAN SHWE. ”A MAN THAT EVEN A HOUSESPARROW WOULD NOT APPROACH” HE WAS SO VENIMOUS. NOW WE HAVE A DASTARDLY ACT BY HIS THUG MAJ GEN MALUWADU, ASSAULTING HIS FORMER SUPERIOR. SHAME BE ON ALL YOU THUGS OF THE BABOON

It is so funny when you hear these comments. SInhala racialist Govenrments has been doing these for 62 long years to Tamils. killed 20,000 innocent tamils then all of them cheered. Now it is happening to them. they are crying.
How many Tamil Engineers who brought fame to this country Like Thurairaja were murdered later claimed that he died due to cancer, Now why are you crying. The very people who brought this monster into power. helped the monster to destroy the tamil nation and keep them concnetration camps.

MR has no values and no love to our country he is a pretender who has taken the entire country and the world for a ride. By taking General sarath fonseka to custody he is trying to divert the attention of the people form recently held presidentail election which was a total fraud.Election was won by the General MR has robbed him and the nation.God will punish entire rajapaksa clan they will be washed away.

people who vote for MR must be ashamed. One day, they will knock on your doors asking for father, mother or brother to take in to custody, or put them in a "tire seya"... then you all remember 1998 era. It is very clear this guy is going towards a dictatorship. He is preparing his son for next presidency just like what other regimes like North Korea are doing. Sri Lanka will never ever be able to see a bright future for a long long time. People who lick their back sides can eat garbage thrown away by them. Most educated people will desert the country(which is happening right now). They will gradually suppress their opponents who has different political views while slowly destroying the education. They will want to destroy the education, because if they have more and more stupid idiots, they can live happily ever after. Everybody must be cautious about why he is buying arms from Russia. There is no war in the country.. then why does our country need more and more arms? DO the math.. but most stupid SLs fail math. Then your best bet is to vote for MR...and Hail the king...(eat the grass.. yeah.. grow it in your backyard...definitely you WILL need it)
