President Maithripala Sirisena who has in the past ordered the Police to carry out impartial investigations on various crimes, in his capacity as the Head of State, has this time around passed the buck, evading responsibility and has instead blamed the police for allowing anti-Muslim attacks to escalate in the country. He had blamed the police during yesterday’s SLFP Central Committee meeting.
President Sirisena
His comments comes as yet another Muslim owned shop in Kahawatte was torched by an unidentified group. Meanwhile, the Colombo Telegraph learns that during the meeting presided by Sirisena yesterday, the Muslim ministers who are SLFP members had remained mum and instead it was several junior members of the party who had expressed their growing concerns over the violence against their community. Several non-Muslim members had also supported the junior Muslim members and had said that steps must be taken to put an end to these attacks against the minority community.
Even though Sirisena appeared to be soft peddling the issue and has failed to take action against the hate crime culprits led by Bodu Bala Sena’s (BBS) General Secretary Galagoda Atte Gnanasara, Sirisena was quick to express his condolence to the people of Manchester following today’s attack, all while his very own people were being attacked by hardcore Buddhist groups with mosques and shops owned by Muslims coming under increasing attack since last month. Since the escalation of attacks against Muslims last week, neither has Sirisena or Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe issued any official statements condemning the attacks on the Muslims.
Over the weekend, Sirisena also shot down a request by Muslim MPs who wanted to meet him to discuss the growing attacks against their community. Amidst rising tensions, Sirisena left for Australia today. Meanwhile, the US Ambassador in Sri Lanka and the EU Office in Colombo have expressed concern and have called on the Government to take prompt action against the growing hate crimes in the country.
Although he came to power assuring an end to racism, Sirisena seems to have in the recent past forgotten his promise, and appears to be following in the footsteps of ex-President Mahinda Rajapaksa. During Rajapaksa’s reign, Muslims came under serious attack in the hands of groups such as BBS, Ravana Balaya which resulted in Rajapaksa losing a sizable amount of the minority votes at the election, for failing to take action against the culprits. The attacks against Muslims escalated in 2014 when BBS led groups to Aluthgama, Beruwala and Dharga Town killing at least 4 people, injuring more than 80 and rendering hundreds homeless. The anti-Muslim riots resulted in many homes, mosques and shops being attacked and torched. Despite the severity of the attack, the mainstream media in the country censored news on the riots.

Sinhala style Buddhism is a curse for any country and it takes the supreme place in Sri Lanka. So you can say Sri Lanka is cursed through the constitution.
The fear is during the last decade Sinhala Buddhists have moved to developed countries like USA, Canada, UK, Italy etc and brought Sinhala Buddhism along with them and now propagating through temples. Only time will tell whether these countries will be cursed too for no fault of their own.

It s underlying message reached its zenith in 1956 and during Clan’s rule. The 50% of people in 2015 decided otherwise. The Europeans are not that stupid to by Theravada Sinhala/Buddhist fascism which is not going to concur the world. The Europeans now know fascist when they see one. Leave the worrying to the Europeans and Americans. By the way they have their own brand of fascists in their respective countries. Recently they were defeated at the presidential elections.

Our president Maithripalas inaction is of serious concern! It appears to the local and international community that he is tolerating these terrorists just like the Rajapaksas did!! He came into power promising to take action against these terrorists and the Rajapaksas criminals. Still no action on either fronts and Rajapaksas black money is coming into Sri Lanka for development projects in Colombo and the rest of the country. People around these development projects are being intimidated in some cases too. How do the Rajapaksas criminals still have so much influence!?

Did you tell IGP Pujitha Jayasundara something? —————————————–IGP Pujitha Jayasundara has ordered the officers over a telephone conversation abandon the arrest attempt and free Gnanasara and others.
Did IGP intervene in Gnanasara’s arrest?—————————————————-
The General Secretary of the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara, was about to get arrested following the operation jointly led by the Police and the Special Task Force that caught him nearby the Badagamuwa thicket in Kurunegala.——————————————————————————————————————
It was alleged that Gnanasara and a team were behind the attack targeting a mosque in Kurunegala on May 20. According to reliable sources of the Kurunegala Police, law enforcement could not arrest him because the Inspector General of Police intervened.——————————————————————————————
Even sources from the STF confirmed that when the Police and the STF team led by Superintendent of Police Priyantha Liyanage went to arrest Gnanasara and others, IGP Pujitha Jayasundara has ordered the officers over a telephone conversation abandon the arrest attempt and free Gnanasara and others.————————————————————————————————————————————–
Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara will face a legal case on May 24 at the Court of Appeal against an alleged contempt of court. He is well aware of the highly possible final result of the case which has currently led him to create incidents that would give rise to empathetic feelings among the public towards him. The Appeal Court case will be examined by Judge Preethi Padman Soorasena. Saving true Buddhism and Buddhists from drunkard cladded in yellow robes is now in the hands of the Court of Appeal. The public trust is placed on Judge Soorasena for the right decision and allow the true Buddhists to live peacefully.—

Hey traditional servant from the village, I was born free as an albatross in the most picturesque sector at paradise and we knew how to live as the hub of the island- cities created villages not the other way around.
Bad logic and confident school dropout Churchill made the blunder of offering the patchwork culture of the island the freedom to govern as never before since he was never a peacetime prime minister. So you looked up and spat at our hub where household gas came by pipe and tram cars took the public around. There was romance, but not bloodshed and greed because the patchwork cultures are unable to balance reason with practicality and emotions. You yourself interfere in urban planning when you yourself is a humbug looking for fame wealth and power that you were not born into and have no education to handle it.
Greedy man do not curse the island in the sun it’s the population that votes from their butts and controls the governance that must go away pronto and leave the island to self heal.
Withholding truth generates fears and obsessions along the way of life.

BREAKING NEWS : (FAILED STATE, ROGUE NATION)
Yoshitha Rajapaksa, the second son of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa was today permitted to travel to Australia for a period of two months by the Colombo High Court.
His passport was impounded by Court as part of magisterial inquiry over alleged money laundering at Carlton Sports Network (CSN).
Colombo High Court Judge A. A. R. Heiyantuduwa ordered the Kaduwela Magistrate’s Court to temporally release his passport on a personnel surety of Rs.500,000.
Yoshitha Rajapaksa through his counsel had sought an order from Colombo High Court to temporary lift his travel ban.
Filing a motion before the Colombo High Court, President’s Counsel Gamini Marapana with Nalin Marapana appearing on behalf of Yoshitha Rajapaksa had informed Court that their client was expecting to leave Australia for a period of two months, for a treatment of an ankle disorder.
Meanwhile, Deputy Solicitor General Thusith Mudalige appearing for the Attorney General did not raise objection for the request.
On March 14, 2016 four suspects including Yoshitha Rajapaksa, Nishantha Ranatunga and Rohan Weliwita were remanded over alleged money laundering case. They are currently out on bail.

The article at one point says that a Muslim shop was torched by an unidentified group. Then later it says the Sirisena government has failed to take action against the hate crime culprits led by Bodu Bala Sena’s (BBS) General Secretary Galagoda Atte Gnanasara. This is a contradiction. Anyone can go and torch a shop so that someone else like BBS will get the blame. What Ganasara does, he does openly. I do not think he will resort to such tactics. So it is unlikely that he or BBS is behind the attack. I feel the wise thing to do now is to wait and allow the Police to investigate. Right now we should not blame anyone, LTTE, Tamils, RAW and Muslims themselves without positive evidence. It can only make things worse.

“unidentified group” That word is an abbreviation for that Appe Aanduwa is refusing to bring the culprits to book and thus protecting the culprits with Ill will- another word for impunity.
“BBS will get the blame” It is not like that. In fact, BBS should take the responsibility as so far it has not condemned the destruction to the Muslim’s property but the have condemned the destructions to properties by Muslims. As an activist group of racial matters in the limelight, when every time there is destruction to property and life, BBS should condemn it without difference to keep its name clear from having had a hand in that. Will BBS issue a statement condemning the these new cycles of violences?

In an earlier incident(Dambulla Mosque) Mano Ganesan bought that it to parliament and SLFP stalwart knight Ashar dismissed Mano Ganesan’s complain as an attempt to wedge between the parties of the government Muslims & Sinhala. After 2009, The history of the Muslim Ministers is suppressing minor Sinhala Tamil MPs from bringing these to Parliament.
But Mano Ganesan went ahead this time too and had bought this to the cabinet. It is being said that the Sinhala leaders took a new turn that instead of seeing this as a atrocities against Muslims, just to look at as law and order issue and take action. Normally racial hates meets stiffer penalties in Western courts. Anyway, if Ranil wants the law order to take place he has to dismiss all the Sinhala Jury verdict.

A real leader will first address the problems in his own country, and easy any tensions to avoid the problem escalating.

The Rajapaksa were also known to be silent when it came to racist tensions, and did not condemn the violence against minorities. Were they so afraid of this scumbag in saffron robes? Sirisena is no different, neither is Ranil W. Sri Lanka needs a strong leader to handle these complicated issues, and to nip things in the bud before it becomes more violent. For mysterious reasons, it seems by staying silent, they are condoning this violence.

Pres Sirisena is only protecting the good muslims while you are a core terrorist sympathiser as I seen on this CT site for many moons.- where have you been ? Training under Daesh command at Syria?
BTW China has banned throughout China after testing in a single state muslims from christening their new borns with muslim names.
China is not afraid of muslim oil or gas as Russia has more. Russia is the largest non GM grain producer in the world.

Bodhi Sira knows all about BBS……Sira was sitting next to Raja…… while communicating with Whiskey Madam , Diaspora, UNP London and Dr Ranil , to roll Rajapaksa and install Yahapalanya……BBS was part and parcel of them….. Now BBS has come to bite them on back side , because of Dr Ranil’s unprecedented attacks on Buddhist Monks, and Sinhala Buddhists , starting with the arrest of that good Monk who fed a baby elephant……Taking cue from Dr Ranil,, Vellala Kid Abraham went all the way to demand expunging Buddhism from the Constitution, as a condition of accepting the Eelaam ( Federal ) deal in Dr Ranil , Sampathar MOU…..Wahabis on the other hand went demolishing ancient Buddhist archeological sites , and settling Baththudeen’s mates with free houses in Wilpattu…Dr Ranil’s hand picked Independent Police spent full two years grilling MPs who helped even Sil Ammes ..While Dr Ranil’s best treasurer and his mates robbed the nation blind….Bodhi Sira now has the upper hand ….. I mean realistically Bodhi Sira can not expect Elite, Anglicans , Wahabis and the Vellalas to vote him in again,,, Can he…..

How many more Masjids need to be attacked while the area residents sleep(only cowards hit below the belt) ? how many more Shops need to be razed to the ground…most do not insure based on religious grounds ? How many females must endure abuse just coz they wear the burqa or hijab…who are ALSO citizens of this country?
Muslims have been VERY patient obeying the religious leaders call for non violence and co exiatance.. One can stretch a rubber ONLY to an extent…then it breaks…likewise the patience of the Muslims also might come apart….there may be Muslim youngsters who like the Sinhalese youngsters might want to react……will not be the best option for the country as a whole….TERRORISTS are not born….they are created…..we are after a war that dragged on for almost 3 decades…and we don’t want another….but ppl must also realize…when one is pushed to the wall then comes resistance…
Maithri and Ranil got to understand this and do whatever it takes to put an end to this insane carnage..they have failed up to now …IF not this can escalate to a fully fledged war….with international players getting involved…whether it be arms suppliers or recruits of terrorist organizations…..it may happen…give it a thought… I dread to think of a 1983 saga….but this time on a bigger scale…where 3 communities may be fully involved…do we need many more lives lost? One is too many to lose….

Any ethnic or religious pogrom is bad. The article highlights inaction on the part of the President. Aren’t others too inactive? Why? It is clear that the present Government, including its senior Muslim Ministers, is is entirety is soft pedalling the anti-muslim issue like the previous Government. This is food for thought.

The only holy book of Sri Lanka, Mahawamshe, clearly states Lanka is a budhist country. Let’s kill the terrorists and make Budha’s dream come true

“Let’s kill the terrorists and make Budha’s dream come true”. Then who do you think is a traitor that betrays Lord Buddha’s teachings? Who is terrorizing the peaceful environment?

Today Sampanthar met with NFGG in his office. They are mainly Muslim professional than experienced politicians. In Parliament Mujibur Rahman brought an adjournment proceeding. Notably Sampanthar, Mano, Hakeem spoke on that. The most dedicated supporter of Yahapalanaya, Sampanthar had raised a question of if the minorities can live in this country without fear. The recent violence against Muslims was raised in WPC too. But for the WPC CM’s Isura Devapriya reply, Muslims MPC had boycotted the Council
In the 1960s and 1970 when Tamil Parliamentarians speak, it is usual Sinhala MPs leaving the Parliament. This was because they didn’t know English and did not have gut for translation and the other one is, naturally they didn’t like to hear the Tamils problems bought to parliament. The reason for WPC Muslims MPCs walk out is CM flatly denied any problems described by them were as real and directly accused back Muslims for their problems. In any democratic nonviolent action, protest is the most important one and this walk out staged was to protest CM’s denial of their problem. Interestingly, by the maturity of minority political status, in 2017, when WPC CM was speaking, Muslims MPCs walked out of council and the council was adjourned. Our question here is, will this protest walkout make any sense? Will it bring any different action? Will it solve the Muslims’ problem on hand? We can “No!” to all and can proceed further.
In 1948, for the first time, unparliamentary Indian Pakistani Citizenship Acts was brought; Muslims Leaders supported and they received reward for it though another unparliamentary bill as MMDA. They both worked very well for GOSL and a culture was established thereafter, In Her Majesty’s Dominion Colony, the Ceylon, that carrots for Muslims Leaders and cane for Tamils to run the parliament.

From that on Muslim leaders worked hard to topple Tamils from the top seat and capture it. About six month ago, in Batticaloa, Ameer Ali spoke in a meeting that Tamils will have to work smart like Muslims farmers instead expecting handouts. Within three months he has changed his tone and last two months his speech is Tamils should work with Muslims to gain the rights back. And another observance is, he is making this unity speech only in Tamils meeting not in Muslims’ meetings.
When SJV broke up on Indian Pakistani Citizenship act with his party leader GG, he invited Muslims to join him. He allocated MPs electorates for them. Muslims leadership donkeys were too attracted to carrots and had pulled their cart on that direction. With those incidental perks, they dreamed to beat Tamils records in Lankawe. Ameer Ali citing Muslim farmers and asking Tamils to learn from them was a message of Muslims leaders celebrating their victory with the own Kavum and crackers. Tamil kept losing all their forms of fighting like Ahimsa struggle, armed struggle and diplomatic struggle. This 70 years period has been more than enough for the Muslims leaders to achieve what they longed for. It is Muslim leaders’ introduced the communal violence in 1915 for the first time in Ceylon. They received local rulers’ blessing on that. But Ramanathan brought justice and equality between communities. The Muslim leadership one time was well acquainted with the Tamils under SJV, for the last 10 years, has suddenly remembered 1915 Ramanathan and started to violently accusing him as brutal traitor of them. While still bragging Muslims as the most peace loving community of Lankawe, now Ameer Ali has started to speak in Tamils’ Meeting that Tamils will have to work with Muslims to regain their rights.

They say “Sudda Mannum Pachchai Mannum Oddaathu. “(Baked clay and fresh clay do not stick together) I don’t know if that that is the situation now between Tamils and Muslims. But there is certainly a sector like Ameer Ali has started to think that Sinhalese are no longer Modayas, so better to find out some Tamil “Kodari kampugal”. (Like Sinhala wise men calling Sinhala mass as Modayas, Tamil Wise men have been calling Tamils as Kodari Kambugal -axe handles. Their nature of self-destruction of returning to the wood they came from cut down all their brethren is exemplary. EPDP, Karuna, Thuraiappah, Kumarasuriyar, Kathirgamar…….. The list never ends.)
The panic detectable in the hearts of Ameer Alies tells Ameers have achieved something needs protection. Muslims have built a new life for them but in the rush to compete, they too build it on the same river bank where Tamil built theirs. Whenever the river angrily over flows, like Tamils’ foundation, their foundation too, will be washed away. Their haste to beat Tamils, failed them to learn from Tamils’ fault.
The greedy Muslims leaders lack foresightedness. Now, they are missing another important lesson that is passing by. Yesterday’s attack on Manchester, UK is a potential lesson for Muslims leaders. British youths have everything things, but Sinhala and Tamil youths who lack a life here have launched many rebels. Keep trumpeting Muslims are most peaceful society may not save Muslims youths. In their eye blinding success, they are wild after importing a new Arabic culture. With that Import, they can import Arabian troubles unexpectedly, like the way they earned Tamils’ troubles for them locally. Ameer Alies may want to stay ahead on that game to save not just Muslim youths, but Muslim, Tamil and Sinhala societies. Property security should be next to life protection.
