Lakthilaka had run to Mahinda regime for protection! -

(Lanka-e-News-22.Oct.2013, 3.30PM) Lakthilaka and his group in the past classified Ranil and his leadership as imbecile and effeminate, incapable of mass mobilization. “They are not liberals but libertines who like to dream and wait for opportunity drop from heaven” he said. Apparently what Ranil could do was to make speeches, mostly in English, in the parliament and other such assemblies. Accordingly Ranil’s street actions were confined to pickets made by few gentlemen with a sprinkling of ladies in some exclusive street corner with out any slogan shouting. If masses join Ranil would vanish and poor masses do not get any opportunity to mix with the leader. So Lakthilaka went on a head hunting mission to find a leader who could bear the smell of the down trodden. I was bit upset when they brought in the same sex accusation also, into the criticism. It was mixed with the claim that Ranil cannot approach the Sinhala village masses with his inability to address Sinhala masses in colloquial language. I could see were the wind is blowing because Fascist Italy declared homosexuality to be a social disease. Mussolini perceived women's primary role to be child bearers, while men were warriors, once saying, "war is to man what maternity is to the woman”. The Nazis argued that homosexuality was degenerate, effeminate, perverted, and undermined masculinity because it did not produce children. When Lakthilaka talks about a manly leader who could arouse the southern village masses in the twenty first century, I automatically smell garbage of fascism.
The days of Achilles and Hector are gone for ever. So are the days of Rama and Ravana. Also we cannot expect horse riding Cromwell or Bismarck to arrive in the scene. Male chauvinist politics cannot lead us to development. Mahinda also proved that in the last few years. We have to look for leaders who could bring modern thinking to the masses. It is not a problem in a country that has accepted dialectical thinking of Buddhism for centuries. We have to negate what is dished out as Buddhism by fanatics such as Bodu Bala sena. We have to think of the other on the basis of Meththa, Karuna, Muthitha, and Upeksha. Then only we can unite the country and move forward. I was truly surprised when JR suddenly turns 180 degrees to call for devolution to solve the Tamil national problem. By adding devolution his own dictatorial constitution was diluted heavily. He had a Bismarckian power to control his people and take them to the task of adding 13th amendment t to the constitution. He was neither an orator in Sinhala nor a leader for mass action. But he had the ability and luck to get others assistance to complement what he lacked. All that is in the past; today we need to go beyond all that and make a revolutionary change in the society.
At Matara Lakthilaka had to face some thing that he never expected. He expected more and more to join as the procession roles on creating a massive demonstration which could be a challenge to Mahinda regime. But he never expected these imbecile cowardly leaders to challenge his ferocious out fit; because the UNP always had a fascist styled tendency within its base. We cannot forget that the burning of the Jaffna library happened during UNP rule. Though the blame was put on Gamini and others the real activists were never exposed. So they are there still prowling around. Obviously they cannot be with Ranil, who want to unite with the TNA accepting LLRC recommendations. Then where are these acute chauvinists? I cannot answer but we have to be vigilant. Suddenly a group of substantial number of people came into the streets to fight for the UNP leadership. Thanks to the anti Ranil media institute we could see a crowed consisting of large number of females. Many of the latter were old women in long dresses. Funny thing is that Lakthilaka now has to admit that he was beaten by a radical mass organised by the incompetent UNP leadership and that he had run to Mahinda regime for protection!
