UNP And TNL: Spitting On The Judiciary While Venerating It
The seven member bench has given their verdict. The crackers have gone off shuttering the air. Ajith P Perera and Hirunika have opined reminding us of our political poverty. Signaling the rise of the new kleptocracy, Ravi Karunanayake The Innocent, UNP’s ‘soft Baby Back Bencher’ who has no clue where the house he lived in materialized from, has made a comeback. He was the first to emerge from the courts complex yesterday to hail the independent judiciary.
Sajith Premadasa has now emerged as the intellectual messiah of the UNP. Since two days he refers to Maithrilpala Sirisena as “Srimath” (“Sir”). There was a Big Premadasa calling himself “Srimath”, sitting on a custom made throne before the era of this Little Premadasa. Prior to the current political windfall Sajith was sitting on a Nilkamal chair playing a game called “Tall for security- short for laborer”? All these faces remind us of the doom that we await.
Dear readers, savor the Supreme Court verdict today. Because tomorrow is another day.
This victory will be your victory till tomorrow. Tomorrow the UNP will claim this to be their victory alone. They will build their new kleptocracy with wheeler dealers like Ravi Karunanayake, Wijedasa Rajapakse, Wasantha Senanayake and Rajitha Senaratne to enthrone them, justifying themselves through the court verdict.
The Rajapskas Will Be Punished : Never
Even if a new government will be formed under the UNP in due course, the Rajapaksas will never be brought to rule. Thajudeen will be buried 12 feet under along with the tears of his parents who die a thousand deaths. Shiranthi Rajapaksa, who is connected to this murder will never stay a single day in a prison cell. The only person who emerged victorious from this shameless Yahapalana regime is Hiruniika, the daughter of Bharatha Laxman Premachandra who died causing the death of a man in the rival gang. We are made to forget that another man died in this confrontation.
In their three year rule so far, the Yahapalana government has not shown any real respect for the law, public administration nor rule of law. Although they lay claim to the “Good Governance We Gave You!”, if not for Maithripala Sirisena there would be no independent judiciary, 19th Amendment or Right to Information Act.
Tomorrow, the UNP will claim the court verdict. The people will be soon removed from the mega hall of the Temple Trees that will be cleaned to five star standards. If Chathura Senaratne wishes to marry there again there will be no one to stop him. Because tomorrow, the most corrupt Rajitha Senaratne will be most powerful .The supporters of the UNP and the citizens who protected the UNP for good 50 days will be forgotten. Because in the anatomy of the UNP runs the despotic, unruly, corrupt blood.
Perhaps till their mega rally at the Galle Face finishes on the 17th, the UNP might treat us all humans. But never, ever will the UNP deliver us from political suppression.
Fleas Of A Kleptocracy
On 26th October 2018 the greatest betrayal of the peoples’ mandate occurred. Honestly, none of us, not even the vast majority of politicians knew of the coup. It shattered our sense of decency. From that day on, for a full week, I wrote an article a day, resisting this act of indecency. I attended each and every street protest, rain or shine during the last 50 days.
