Mahinda relinquished premiership only after a promise from Ranil
“President Maithripala Sirisena, as well as Mr Ranil Wickremesinghe, should be held responsible for not acting according to the mandate given by the 6.2 million voters at the 2015 election. We challenge Ranil Wickremesinghe to establish the two other special high courts by January 2019 and to have all three special high courts functional.
However, we are definite that Ranil Wickremesinghe would not do anything against members of Rajapaksa family and his henchmen. Mahinda Rajapaksa relinquishes the post of premiership with the promise from Ranil Wickremesinghe that no legal action would be taken against them,” said JVP Kalutara District Parliamentarian Dr Nalinda Jayatissa speaking at a meeting held in Kalutara yesterday (17th).
Speaking further Dr Jayatissa said, “The 50-day political conspiracy has been concluded. We don’t know whether those who demonstrated against the Speaker for not accepting Mahinda Rajapaksa as the PM would now demonstrate against the judges of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal. We would like to know what those who had said the dissolution of Parliament was correct are saying now. They would not get together to insult the Chief Justice and other judges.
The likes of Weerawansa and Gammanpila say tigers will rise up as soon as Mahinda withdraws from the Premiership. If so, tigers have not been vanquished as Gotabhaya Rajapaksa had boasted. Maybe tigers are being kept at Madamulana and Wijerama so that they could be released whenever Weerawansa and Gammanpila want them to rise up.
If Mr Ranil Wickremesinghe has an iota of gratitude for the sacrifices the people in this country made to save democracy, he should intensify the process to punish fraudsters and the corrupt. It was Ranil – Sagala clique that cuddled fraudsters and the corrupt. The plan was to split the SLFP and to get the advantage of such a split. The result of not taking any action against the thieves was that the thieves took over the government.
