Sri Lanka: One Island Two Nations

President Gamarala who gatecrashed Ven. Sobitha’s death commemoration profanes his memory !

(Lanka-e-News- 01.June.2018, 11.30PM) President Pallewatte Gamarala the epitome of ingratitude who bites the hand that fed and kicks the ladder that elevated him to the top , gate -crashing the death commemoration ceremony of most Ven Sobitha Thera the chief organizer of the movement for just society , conducted himself most villainously and self degradingly.

On that occasion as though to deliberately desecrate the solemn ceremony , he mounted the stage and criticized the 100 days program which was initiated by the Late Ven .Thera with the latter playing a key role . Moreover it is an incontrovertible fact Ven. Sobitha Thera was most contributory to Gamarala’s presidential victory .

‘In the 100 days program report , dissolution of parliament was not there. I do not know who prepared it. Looking at Jayampathy Wickremeratne ( president pointing at him who was in the audience ) , it was the most foolish thing that was done. What should have been done if they had the brain was , dissolved parliament on the very night of the day I took oaths as the president’ Gamarala told in a fit of rage.

Gatecrashing and profaning the dead

Even a street urchin who knows even little decency and etiquette wouldn’t disrespect the dead in the way Gamarala did on this solemn occasion. Not enough entering the venue as an intruder , he even went on to publicly castigate the program of late Ven . Sobitha Thera who is long dead , and mind you , that too at the death anniversary of that most revered and venerated Buddhist prelate who made a major contribution to put Gamarala on the presidential pedestal.

A monk who attended the function said , because the president accepted the SLFP chairman post , the good governance turned turtle . Gamarala who was infuriated by this exposure , said indirectly in his speech that he UNP headed by Ranil Wickremesinghe which was responsible for that. Gamarala ‘s latest hobby horse – the 19 th amendment was the other topic he harped on . He reiterated with Peacock pride , it is because he took over the SLFP chairman post , the 19 th amendment could be passed.

Poor Gamarala like at the last local body elections when he tried to fasten the entire blame on the UNP of the consensual government , and clear himself of his guilt , on this occasion too he tried the same ploy . Gamarala was most rattled and distressed because that same morning the corrupt tender bid valuing Rs. 22 billion for the supply of food to the forces he sought to push through failed. Because Lanka e News exposed every detail of his corrupt tender bid to the people which Gamarala sought to steer through via a cabinet paper on the 22 nd , Gamarala could not achieve his foul traitorous aim and agenda.

His charges against 100 days program – our answers !

As a media Institution that supported the 100 days program , we deem it is our duty to furnish answers to the criticisms leveled against it by president Gamarala …

Firstly, let us remind him the 100 days program was not originated by a single individual , single party or single organization. It was the outcome of the support of the organizations , parties and media which were against the Rajapakse regime then.

The only common theme that could bring all together was abolition of the Executive presidency. During discussions the theme was to abolish this within 6 months. But the UNP said , that can be done within 100 days, and within that period , even a referendum if necessary can be held. On the 0ther hand , if the majority of the pro Rajapkses are not extending support towards this , then there was a method too to dissolve parliament and go for elections. Pallewatte who had no truck with the opposition campaign then may not have known this. However at the last moment when he joined he accepted those without questioning anything.

If mother had not died it is her umbilical cord which would have been eaten by this monster

Leaving alone the fact that Pallewatte Gamarala came to power flaunting the 100 days program , the same Gamarala saying today , he does not know who prepared that and it is a stupid program after swearing earlier on before the people solemnly wherever he went that he would implement it is not a matter for surprise knowing very well his uncouth , uncultured , uncivilized ,ungrateful and unscrupulous overriding traits.

It is certain going by his inborn evil traits , only if Gamarala’s mother had not died as he was born , he would have been the first to eat the umbilical cord of the mother who helped him to come to this world. May be it is after realizing that she had given birth to a serpent in human form when he was born that she died of shock. In any case may her soul rest in peace. .

It is only today Gamarala realized if the common candidate had become the president , talking about the constitutional amendment was foolish without dissolving the parliament that was with a ‘minority’ of 47 members while the pro Rajapkses were in the majority , though to the intelligentsia of the political arena that was the most crucial .

When an individual who is not a Rajapakse becomes the president , a parliament with a Rajapakse majority supporting the abolition of executive presidency is not an issue. That is simpler than when it is to be done by a new parliament . Political calculations point to that .Yet the parliament with Rajapakse majority at that time did not oppose that.

Has he forgotten how he waited until he could rise with Mahinda ?

It is none other than Gamarala who took over the role of SLFP chairman and impeded the program designed to abolish the executive presidency via the 19 th amendment . People are not that stupid to listen to his Gamarala baila or believe the fairy tales he is relating today after having conveniently forgotten what he told , promised and did three years ago.

It was Gamarala and no other after getting together with Rathane Thera and Champika Ranawake who is always a thorn when it relates to every national issue , and then showing an agreement signed with them tried to create a public opinion what must be abolished is not the executive presidency but only the deleterious aspects of the executive power .

Unbelievably it was Gamarala himself who diluted the 19 th amendment to suit his own ends. Can anybody forget how he used the SLFP of which he became the chairman and the UPFA to achieve that purpose?

What did Gamarala do then who is now saying it was folly that the parliament was not dissolved the day following his taking oaths, and blaming others ?

Moreover he postponed the dissolution of parliament even after the 100 days program until the defeated Rajapakse forces could ‘rise with Mahinda’ as a force

If Gamarala does not remember the requests made several times in writing to him to dissolve parliament without postponing by Ven . Sobitha Thera whose death anniversary fell on 30 th May ,it is best if Gamarala reads the newspapers of May and June 2015 .

What did he say about dissolution of parliament during local body elections ?

There are two things that should be highlighted to the president who is blaming others including the UNP that prepared the 100 days program, and without dissolving the parliament the day following Gamarala taking oaths as president : If he is one who has some amount of political vision and if he is not among those who prepared the 100 days program, why is that he did not dissolve parliament ?

Is the power to dissolve parliament vested in the prime minister and not president ? or vested in Ven. Sobitha Thera or in Jayampathy Wickremeratne at whom the finger was pointed today ?

Didn’t this skunk from the dark side of the Moon tell an entirely and diametrically different story to the SLFP ers and the UPFA ers from what he is telling now , during the local body elections? Didn’t he say if he dissolved parliament the day following his taking oaths the SLFP would have been finished , and therefore in order not to allow room for the UNP to form a separate government , he postponed the dissolution and delayed the elections with a view to confer an advantage on the SLFP ? Didn’t Gamarala tell all this to pose off as a hero among the SLFP members ? Now , what is he blabbering then today ?

Gamarala on the day following his becoming president met with the Rajapakses at the residence of Mahinda Amaraweera to promise nothing harmful will be done to them . Some days later he also had secret discussions with Gotabaya at former’s Paget road residence after extinguishing the lights. What has he to say about the cogent evidence in this regard in the book written by Malith Jayatileke a national list M.P. of Gamarala himself ?

What has he to say about the statement made publicly by his own Western province M.P. that Gotabaya was sent overseas by Gamarala fearing Gota might be arrested ? What has he to say about his screaming and shouting that ‘war heroes are being hauled up in courts’ when Gotabaya was summoned to courts, and chased out the Bribery and corruption commission Director General from the post ? What has he to say about the granting of bail to officers of the forces and their reinstatement when they were remanded over the Ekneliyagoda abduction ?

Gamarala forgets the 20 th amendment on Sobitha Thera’s death anniversary

Gamarala who swore day in and day out that he would abolish the executive presidency which was the cherished aim and primary goal of Ven Sobitha Thera , however when he arrived at his commemoration ceremony did not at least say he would support the proposed 20 th amendment . It is very rare such a scoundrel of the lowliest level gets an opportunity to become a ruler of the country . Such rascals being tolerated by the ruled is even rarer. It is because some curse that has befallen us and the country that we have to put up with such a double tongued stinking spittoon of a mouth president since 2015-01-08 .

This stupid moron who chose the commemoration venue of late Ven . Sobitha Thera to give answers to the statement made by Chandrika that not only Gamarala , even any other common candidate would have won the presidential election that time , spoke like a Kindergarten class child who is piqued and peeved. His replied to her statement by questioning ‘ if so , then could have put somebody else and won. Why wasn’t that done?’ Can such an idiot be addressed as a president ?

This same buffoon spoke about the granting of helicopter then to defeated Mahinda Rajapakse without naming the prime minister whom he tried to blame. We however do not see giving Mahinda helicopter transport at that time with a view to release the reins of power peacefully as an issue because Ranil did not load Mahinda’s helicopter with pro good governance crowd. On the contrary what did this two legged mutt do throughout the last local body elections ? Didn’t this mutt until the end of elections along with Mahinda’s Lotus Bud crooks travel by helicopter to canvass for votes? Wasn’t that to cling on to the cursed shawl of Rajapakses ? Can there be a worse show of self degrading conduct than that ?

Sobitha Thera’s name as an excuse…

Pallewatte Gamarala who like a typical mutt bit and ate the hands of all those forces all this while which propelled him to power spared only the name of Ven . Sobitha Thera, but today he finished him too. Before this he finished biting and eating the hands of all those who fed him . Those victims were Lanka e News , Civil Organizations ,Chandrika Kumaratunge , Ranil Wickremesinghe, Sarath Fonseka , and his closest Rajitha Senaratne

The UNP shall give the answers to the charges mounted that it did not implement the laws. In like manner the Daily Mirror newspaper too shall answer the charges leveled against it. We of course gave answers by exposing the absolute falsehoods uttered by Gamarala with regard to the 100 days program which was launched with our backing. Even others who were associated with that program shall furnish answers to this stinking skunk of a rare specie with rare abilities to change into a serpent , fox , mutt , swine or chameleon instantly and with consummate ease.

In any event , even as Gamarala is trying to paint a picture that he is clean and pure we are deluged with copious information and details about a most unlawful disgraceful act of his exerting unlawful pressures . We shall expose those lurid details in another report .
