Who or what could be blamed for the PRESIDENT’S ATTITUDE?

The long awaited Provincial Council elections….

Finally the President agreed to have provincial council elections, without any changes to the constitution. However, it is clear to everybody including Indian rulers that Mahinda did not try to honour his promises to India. He showed, at least to those who are serious that he is not prepared to solve the national problem in the country. He wanted to avoid giving effect to 13A. Blame for this attitude cannot be imputed to the JHU and Weerawansa’s Party.
Some people believe what changed Mahinda after the war could have been, due to one reason and that one reason alone: Gotabhaya’s rejection of the entire Provincial Council system itself. They argue, though US and India could have been important to Mahinda over and above the JHU and JVP as revealed, no one can be more important to Mahinda than Gotabhaya, not just because he is his brother, but more so because he won the war for Mahinda to enable him to remain as President after the war. I do not believe in such superficial conclusions.
