Dilith Jayaweera & thugs surround Wadduwa Hotel!

 Thursday, 12 September 2013 

Co-owner of Triad Advertising Dilith Jayaweera, who is also the ‘convener’ of the mafia that has taken control of the Colombo Stock Exchange by misusing the powers of his close ally defence secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, has surrounded Serene Village Pavillian tourist hotel in Wadduwa, along with more than 50 thugs and the police.

The unruly and abusive behaviour of Dilith Jayaweera and his thugs had forced the tourists staying in the hotel to flee the hotel to save their lives, taking nothing with them except the clothes they were wearing. Dilith Jayaweera’s thugs are holding up the hotel’s CEO Anura Lokuhetti and its staff members inside the premises. The thugs have badly beaten up the CEO Anura Lokuhetti, and the police have cordoned off the hotel on the orders of the defence secretary, allowing the thugs to go on the rampage.

Dilith Jayaweera has stormed the hotel in this manner owing to a dispute over the ownership of shares of this hotel. He is claiming for a higher number of shares of the hotel than what he actually owns. Due to this situation, other hotels in which Dilith Jayaweera has shares, are seriously alarmed. Dilith Jayaweera is misusing the powers of his close ally, the defence secretary, and making a wicked attempt to repress and threaten small shareholders of these hotels to make them surrender their shares to him.

Prof Carlo ( hereinafter called CF) has returned to the original issue now dragging various other personalities to the debate, In his first criticism of my article he stated that ethical and moral values are only for individuals and not for governments. He also argued that human behavior , moral or otherwise ( not moral values) are the product of evolutionary biology. These are the issues particularly the latter.

I pointed out that whatever the origins of human behavior there is a case for moral judgments on the behavior of individuals. He argued that the State is not bound by any moral code. Now he drags Dr Jayantha Dhanapala citing his argument elsewhere that foreign policy must be pragmatic. He has never justified the violation of the moral code and obviously his pragmatism criterion assumes that whatever actions are taken in the pursuit of pragmatic foreign policy must be ethical as well.CF seems to be a moral nihilist who thinks there are no moral values.

Lord Devlin, in an essay “Morals and the Criminal Law” in The Philosophy of Law (ed R M Dworkin) Oxford (1977) at p 74 said: If men and women try to create a society in which there is no fundamental
agreement about good and evil they will fail; if having based it on common agreement, the agreement goes, the society will disintegrate. For society is not something that is kept together physically; it is
held by the invisible bonds of common thought. If the bonds were too far relaxed the members would drift apart. A common morality is part of the bondage. The bondage is part of the price of society; and
mankind, which needs society, must pay its price.”             Read More
