Dayan becomes another Duminda – has lost his memory
Dr. Dayan Jayatilleke, who had been criticizing the Rajapaksa government throughout the past as a diplomat and an intellectual, has started whitewashing the regime. This is revealed when he appeared on ‘Rupavahini’ and ITN’ on behalf of Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa today (28th).
He emphasizes that Mr. Maithripala Sirisena has become a puppet manipulated by Ms. Chandrika Kumaratunga and Mr. Ranil Wickremesinghe.
Dr. Dayan Jayatilleke, till very recently, stated that Sri Lanka has become the victim of human rights allegations due to politicizing of Sri Lanka’s foreign service after the war. He expressed the view that the resolutions against Sri Lanka in Geneva could not be resolved due to the bungling by the Rajapaksa government. Until a few days ago Dr. Dayan Jayatilleke criticized the Rajapaksa regime and called for a ‘change’.
However, contradicting all his views Dr. Jayatilleke has started appearing on behalf of Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa. Political analysts say Dr. Dayan Jayatilleke, like Parliamentarian Duminda Silva, must be suffering from memory loss.
