No Confidence Motion Against Rajapaksa Government
February 22, 2014
A no confidence motion has been filed against the Government by the main opposition United National Party, over the ruling administration’s involvement in the ongoing drug scandals in the country.
Chief Opposition Whip John Amaratunga handed the no confidence motion over to the Secretary General of Parliament W.B.D. Dasanayake.
The Opposition says senior members of the Government including officials at the office of the Prime Minister are involved in a flourishing drug trade in the country.
It is the first no confidence motion faced by President Mahinda Rajapaksa‘s Government, even though his Government has the numbers to defeat it easily.
To Little Sir, Our President After The Next President
Dear Mr. Namal Rajapaksa,
The son of our honorable president,
The Honorable the President after the next Honorable president,
Little Sir, your very sight is an immense pleasure to me, I am a Sinhala Buddhist person who has been silently watching your decidedly Buddhist activities as the prince regent of our beloved country, the greatest country in the world. Last week I saw you speaking at an election rally making some brilliant arguments against Geneva. You said, “West does not want to see our country progresses”. That is true Sir, they are so scared. That is why all this fuss.
The thought of writing to you personally was with me for months. But there were two big problems. One was that there was really no one whom I could trust to send this letter with. But the other day, I happened to see your mentor professor GL Peiris jogging in Torrington Square where I go regularly for watching people ‘enjoying’ the peace brought about by your family. I know that the professor has been mentoring you on the art of statecraft during the last few years. Once I saw the professor in his meditative jogging reflecting on his plans for Geneva I sat right there and wrote this letter. The kind professor agreed to take this letter to you. If this ever gets published somewhere it is the professor who is responsible for leaking it to the press.Read More
