(Lanka-e-News -27.Sep.2011, 11.00P.M.) President Mahinda Rajapakse who led a mega delegation to New York returned to Sri Lanka hastily ,after hearing that a litigation suit has been filed in US courts against a Sri Lanka Diplomat despite the diplomatic immunity that attaches to him.
As the campaign of the UPFA to win the Colombo Municipal elections is floundering , already unscrupulous measures are under way ,to buy over four candidates contesting under the UNP list. The President is already busy in this direction ,sources within the UPFA say.
It is learnt that two UNP ers from Colombo list and two from the Dehiwala – Galkissa list are being offered Rs. 25 lakhs each , as well as jobs in Korea are being promised to their close relatives to rope in the UNP candidates into the UPFA.Meanwhile the election campaign of UPFA Mayoral candidate Milinda Moragoda had proved a flop last week. Gotabaya Rajapakse who has incurred the maximum displeasure of a majority of the people in the demolition of common man’s abodes and displacing them being depended upon by Milinda in his election campaign had evoked peels of laughter among all. They say this is the most ridiculous part of Milinda’s campaign, and he has thereby become the butt of a big stupid joke. The UPFA supporters are thoroughly disillusioned with getting Gotabaya into the campaign , for they are of the view that Gotabaya is a well noted ‘gorakaya’ who does not know to talk to people without ever flying into a demonic rage.

Mahinda Rajapaksa- Let his conscience be his own judge

In the International Lions club, we frequently use this phrase, “Let your conscience be your own judge” to draw the attention of our members to root their decision in the righteousness of their conscience; for a man of conscience seldom errs.

Do not drag Palestinians into this moral content of your behaviour. Palestinians can learn one thing from we Tamils, you do what you can do with what you have. There are great opportunities for them to prove to the world that they have something to offer to the world. |
I am asking Mahinda Rajapaksa that can you account for four direct murders accredited to your account, 5653 number of missing or dead persons under your watch, 40,000 Tamil innocent killed and accounted for, 150,000 people missing and unaccounted for, and killer of Lasantha Wickrematunge not brought to justice and Pregeeth Ehnilgoda not found. When you cannot provide answers to any one of them the moral justice points finger at your complicity. It has to be, or you do not have even a meagrely functional law enforcement and judiciary. Basically you say we have a barbaric culture of right of the might and blood in your hands and flesh in your teeth. You have not even made an attempt to refute the claims.
