Vice Admiral (Rtd) Mohan Wijewickrama a member of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa‘s Viyathmaga campaign, who posted an Islamophobic comment on twitter, has been nominated for the post of Sri Lankan Ambassador to Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
Vice Admiral (Rtd) Mohan Wijewickrama
The (Rtd) Vice Admiral Mohan Wijewickrama, a former Eastern Province Governor during the former President Mahinda Rajapaksa regime, responding to a twitter comment posted by Indian politician Subramanian Swamy wrote “Hindu India will ensure the safety of the balance South Asian countries from becoming Muslim states as was the case of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan are the only countries yet to be swallowed by Islam.”
His comments were in response to the statement posted by Indian Politician Subramanian Swamy who wrote “Leave aside the 700 years of brutality we Hindus suffered at the hands of Muslim invaders and their progenies, the fact that we amputated 1/3 of Bharat Mata for Pak entitles us to reject any & every Muslim illegal immigrant except for conscience rebels as Tarik Fatah and Talisma.”
Further Rtd. Vice Admiral Wijewickrama’s statement in response certainly fans the flames of tension that currently is also taking place between India and Pakistan.
Despite making such derogatory Islamophobic statements on Twitter, Rtd. Vice Admiral Wijewickrama himself now prepares to assume his new duties as the Sri Lankan Ambassador to an Islamic nation.
Meanwhile this is not the first instance that a nominated person to the role of Ambassador has condemned another international state.
Earlier Manori Unambuwe another nominated person on the list as Ambassador to Germany posted a rather undiplomatic comment on her Facebook wall condemning the Swiss government. The comment aimed more at asylum seekers stated “Forget your Korean language exams, TOEFL, or smuggling yourself to Australia. Just claim the Sri Lankan government threatened you, and harassed you, and you’ll get first class tickets for you and your family straight to a 1st world life in Switzerland! All courtesy of the Swiss embassy”
Recently the government of Sri Lanka released the names of four nominated Ambassadors and seeks the general public to send in their comments or objections by writing, faxing or emailing the high posts committee in parliament. That included the political commentator and the Island journalist and the author of Gota’s War, C.A. Chandraprema. He been nominated for the post of Permanent Representative to UNHRC Geneva.
Meanwhile a wave of negative social media comments have been on the rise, criticizing President Gotabaya Rajapaksa especially as he continues to blatantly appoint immediate and near relatives, his own California buddies and now associates who supported him during his Presidential campaign to high government posts.
Whilst most appointments are done as mere favours, only a handful of his appointments have been made as promised by him on mere meritocracy. (By Dasun Jayakody)

Subramania Swamy the Aryan Brahmin Supremacist comic. Everything very contradictory . Goes around stating everywhere that he is Tamil but all his actions are anti Tamil , especially against the Sri Lankan Tamils. He is the best friend, protector and voice of all anti Tamil war criminals like the Rajapakses. In the name of Aryan Brahmin supremacism and Hindutva philosophy , he hates all non Brahmin Tamils and even Brahmin Tamils who do not agree with him . This means he hates 99% of his own Tamil ethnicity ,Brahmin or non Brahmin and will do anything to destroy them. He hates Muslims and constantly derides them but one of his daughters, another anti Tamil clone like him is married into a prominent North Indian Muslim family , Haider and he has Muslim grandchildren. Hope he hates them too. The father in law, Salman Haider was the former Indian Foreign Secretary. A Hindu fanatic married to a Parsi. Short and sweet a clown. A Tamil who hates his fellow Tamils. A Hindu fanatic married to non Hindu. A Muslim hater , whose daughter has married into a prominent Indian Muslim family and has Muslim grand children. Hope the Indian government does not take this clown seriously.

Subramaniam Swami is a “spent force” in India. He has no voter base hence he sold his mediocre party to BJP. Although stupid Sri Lankan media calls him a Leader of BJP, he is only the Tamil Nadu BJP selection committee head, which means nothing. Even if he recommends some one to contest the BJP Central can reject it, this has happened in the past. He is a guy who hangs on to Mahinda Rajapakse Sathakaya Pote and gets glorified media in SL. He is the one who invited Mahinda Rajapakse for a speech, Mahinda delivered in an Hindutsva forum. SL media boasted it as BJP Congress meeting invitation which is false. Sinhala Buddhist Mahinda spoke in the racist Hindutsva forum.Its time SL media get the correct message and do not call him as BJP Leader. Its like calling Gammanpilla the Pohottuwa Leader.

All these nominnations show how the external politics would work for the fall of the country in the near future.
:
Mrs B and Bandaranayakas made world records about holding good and world recognized external politics as we as one of the tiny states in the region. But today, ballige puthas beocming country’s leaders with their FROG IN A WELL theories, make every effort to work with external afairs. I wonder why our DR PUNDIT FROM RUSSIA is still stay in his silent mode. He and that Thamara should come forward to help opening the eyes of the studpid men in today s leadership.
This is why we told you guys, Rajakshes would never do it better.
We have already noticed that the situation would be even worst than that we experienced prior to 2015 under Rajapakshe era.
–
Our people cut their neck by their own. At least new voters should wake up and see it beyond so that we could save this nation. Yes over 7 mio of voters voted for them, but to date, not a single good thing is seen as done properly. Lack of proper thinking and not having experts on their side have made them blind and deaf.
.
May all gods be on our side to prevent srilanka being branded as another SUDAN to the world.

Considering the silly questions you raise like “why they prostrate to imbecile saffron clad monks, expecting to reach Nirvana, Nibbana, Heaven etc,” and “Have anybody got to Nirvana, Nibbana”, I suggest you change your name from Amarasiri to AMANASIRI.
—
Even a Sinhala Buddhist kid in the 5th standard knows that by paying respect to monks one cannot attain Nibbana.
—
According to Buddha’s teachings those who reach the status of Nibbana do not come back. So there is no way to find out.
/
Amarasiri / January 28, 2020
Eagle Confused Eye, Eagle AMANA Eye,
The 5th Standard Sinhala Buddhists kids are brainwashed in many areas, in addition to the Mahawansa myths, lion ancestors. Buddha visiting the island there times, they are not Paras, only the Demala are Paras, the Sun going around the Earth, in addition to brainwashing to prostrate to the monks, saying that the monks are the 3rd Gem of the Triple Gem.
Per Buddhism, Nibbana is extinction. So, there is no way to test the belief. Instead , the imbeciles, prostrate to the monks, who were abused as child monks by the senior monks.
Suckers. They have indeed got them all mixed up, AMANA GATTHA.
The Paras were happy, the first 6 kings were happy, living a decent life before the advent of the monks, and Monk hegemony, and the need to prostrate to them.
/
Amarasiri / February 1, 2020
Eagle Confused Eye, Eagle Amana Eye,
“Even a Sinhala Buddhist kid in the 5th standard knows that by paying respect to monks one cannot attain Nibbana.”
It is all right to pay respect to the parents by prostrating , because each gave half the chromosomes, 23, to make the 46. Without those chromosomes, no child!
What do the monks give? Monk treatment in the back, and in return, need to gove them Dana, offerings. Only imbeciles will do that.
The way they prostrate to monks, one wonders, what goes through their innocent brainwashed minds. We all know how they are brainwashed in Mahawansa and the Lion myth, in addition to the other myths.
Even the so-called “Professor” Ediriweera Sarathchandra, of the Sinhabahu fame, could not sort out myth from the truth. Did he know how many chromosomes the lion had compared to the 46 of the humans? He was in the Arts faculty, and had no clue! Do the imbeciles, the blind followers, “Anda-nu -karanaya” in Sinhala, have any clue?

Stupidity is prostrating to imbecile monks, who were abused as child monks, by the senior monks, when they grew up, elevate them to be the 3rd Gem of the Triple Gem, by the imbeciles, on the mistaken hypothesis that the imbeciles will end up or achieve Nibbsns, extinction, which no imbecile has achieved. So, the deception and the stupidity continues.

S C Pascal,
The third Gem of the so-called Triple Gem, who were abused as child monks, can certainly bless you, but it is like pissing in the wind, which only imbeciles will do, and will lead to nothing. You may have to offer them Dana, offerings.
You can certainly ask for the blessings of the Dhamma, the teachings of Buddha, and if you follow them you can certainly be guided to the correct path of his teachings.
Since, Buddha is dead and claimed to have achieved Nibbana, extinction, seeking blessings from the long-gone Buddha, may satisfy your mental agony, but it will not make any difference .
So, follow the Dhamma, not the monks.

Traditionally Pillai( Pilli in Sinhalese ) and Mudaliar( Mudali) are sub castes amongst the Vellalar . Their Sinhalised descendants Pilli and Mudali generally belong to the Tamil Vellalar equivalent the Sinhalese Govigamma caste. If John Pillai is an actual Pillai and not an assumed title , he is Vellala and cannot start a fight against his own people or caste Anyway why should be start any caste war. if you visit Jaffna now it is the lower castes who are ruling the roost.

I am a Muslim, and I too feel a localized version of Islamophobia. I am not worried about terrorist attacks that intelligence and security establishments will take care of. But I am worried about ordinary Muslims or entering Muslim areas on a vacation even. People are so undisciplined, parents don’t dream of raising their future generations differently. Mosques, religious leaders or any other authorities don’t care about the future of their community. So called, ‘Muslim business community’ is keen only on maximizing their profits & quality not a matter. See Madrasas & Int’l schools run by Muslims mushrooming every nook and corner with only intention is to make money. See the Pettah business hub dominated by Muslims, how unprofessional, rowdy and crooks these people are?

Muslim community has to undergo a full reform which has to start from mothers & mosques. Friday sermon topic should be controlled by a single entity and it should talk about practical things not what happened some 1500 years ago.

You being a Muslim doesn’t benefit Ilyas Rumy or Islam itself, instead it will benefit you in this world and the hereafter. But your oft-repeated saying I’m Muslim, I am Muslim is tantamount to saying as quoted by Joseph Goebbels –> If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it…….. are you getting me?
As for me every word in your comment above says who you really are.
Thanks for telling me that there is a ‘localized version of Islamophobia’ that is why it is giving you only the “feel”, therefore please use the Islamophobia “foreign version” which I am sure will “get into your nerves” and its worth the investment, have a nice day.

Placing ex army mates in ambassadorial positions is not going to improve the image of Sri Lanka. Already viewed as a pariah nation our descent into the garbage pit of scoundrel nations led by dictators is going to be much quicker than expected. An uneducated ex army mental light weight who crept through the back door to become defense secretary when his brother became president only proves that these rascals only know one way of getting there and that is through nepotism and corruption. They will hoodwink the masses as they have done for so many years and look after their corrupt media mates like derana and hiru to be the conduits of fake communication to bluff the citizens unfortunately the majority of whom are illiterate and uneducated and whose actions are clouded by fake religious practices and myths. God save Sri Lanka from this plague and virus coming from the USA and Medamudalla.

There is nothing wrong in both statements to deprive those eminent, well qualified people serving the post Nanthikdal and post UNP new Nation as her ambassadors .
–
There is no Muslim Phobia in the current Presidency who has made may significant and marvelous changes to up lift the nation in less than 90 days..
–
The most honorable member of the Muslim Community . the learned PC Mr Ali Sabry said the minorities while referring mainly to his community, that they should forget their petty differences and get behind Nandasena to change the nation for Good.
–
Ali being the Solid Rock behind Prez Nandasena as his special legal advisor, I am sure Ali would not allow any bad characters sneak into Nandasena’s inner sanctum to get Ambassador jobs in particular.

“Earlier Manori Unambuwe another nominated person on the list as Ambassador to Germany posted a rather undiplomatic comment on her Facebook wall condemning the Swiss government. “
–
““Hindu India will ensure the safety of the balance South Asian countries from becoming Muslim states as was the case of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan are the only countries yet to be swallowed by Islam – Vice Admiral (Rtd) Mohan Wijewickrama.”
–
This is a brilliant idea on the part of Gota the former national hangman.
You see KASmalam, now Manori Unambuwe and Mohan Wijewickrama have to either apologise or justify their stupid words/position to the respective country’s foreign minister of his/her officials.
–
If his intentions are as above indeed Gota is an excellent sadists with an attitude.
–
Has Gota’s b***s author C.A. Chandraprema replaced you being the official b***s carrier?
–
By the way Dr. Safi Sihabdeen is still detained in custody.
His accuser Channa Masala Jayasumana (once went to Geneva and made a nonstop noise for about 8 minutes the maximum time anyone is allowed to make in the hall, ) who could be a fine candidate for the post of Permanent Representative to UNHRC Geneva.

I would like to say that Mohan W. has a “slave mentality”, why do you want Indian dominance in SA and Sri Lanka to be oppressed & bullied, obviously there is no Sinhala “Lae” (blood) running in your veins, if I were Prez. Gota I would post “Dan Prasad” to Karachi or even to UN, as he would make a good envoy.
Now that Mohan W. is “openly Islamophobic” Pakistan has a clear Bio-Data about him from day one, so they know who they’re dealing with. Mohan’s duty would be like any other Ambassador to improve bi-lateral relations between Sri Lanka & Pakistan, if he fails to do that either Prez. Gota will recall him or Pakistan Govt. – that knows who Mohan is – will ask GoSL to take him back & ask for a replacement.
Dr. Swamy is following in the footsteps of late Cho Ramaswamy, though Cho R. didn’t achieve anything significantly in his political life, at least he created the “Dukluck” paper, but for Dr.S.”No-Luck” maybe “Lame-Duck”, if he continues at his rate.

A very good reason to realize why the racist new President, has bad judgement, and will continue to poke the minority in their eyes, again and again. How much more obvious can he be? What next, Gnanasara in charge of minority rights?
Hindus in India are so backward, they harbor anger against Muslims and kill them for eating beef too.
“Religious violence in India includes targeted violence against Muslims. There have been several instances of religious violence against Muslims since the Partition of India in 1947, frequently in the form of violent attacks on Muslims by Hindu mobs that form a pattern of sporadic sectarian violence between the Hindu and Muslim communities. Over 10,000 people have been killed in Hindu-Muslim communal violence since 1950 in 6,933 instances of communal violence between 1954 and 1982.[1]
The causes of this violence against Muslims are varied. The roots are thought to lie in India’s history – resentment toward the Islamic conquest of India during the Middle Ages, policies established by the country’s British colonizers, and the violent partition of India into an Islamic state of Pakistan and a secular India with a Muslim minority. Many scholars believe that incidents of anti-Muslim violence are politically motivated and a part of the electoral strategy of mainstream political parties who are associated with Hindu nationalism like the Bharatiya Janata Party (political wing of RSS). Other scholars believe that the violence is not widespread but that it is restricted to certain urban areas because of local socio-political conditions.[2]”
The majority simply can’t get over things that may or may not have happened decades ago, even centuries, and take their revenge out of Muslims who had nothing to do with anything. The result? A nation that has unrest, ethnic violence, no peace, and the economy getting hit every time there are clashes. Stupidity.

The Rascist Dr. S.S is equivalent to our Dr. Mervyn.
Both are crack pots and the correct place of refuge for this crack pot should be the mental asylum in India.
For companionship, we can also pack off Mervyn there.
/
Ilyas Rumy / January 29, 2020
@Issa,
Mr. Mervyn is not a bad man, his enemies stereotyped & gave him a negative outlook, he is only a Nationalist and all of us, for that matter, should be nationalists and take him as a good example. When he was a Minister there were some petty issues which was normal, but he pretty much speaks with a straight face and never created any communal disturbances in the Island. Don’t take me wrong for telling the goodness in someone.

Talk of square pegs in round holes. GR seems to be having a problem identifying which is which. As for our diplomatic community, we have a history of appointing thugs, yobs & cronies to promote our image abroad. SL is insignificant in the world stage & we are used to shutting the door on beggars who come to our houses, so now who cares if the doors are shut on us as a country by the international community? The politicians & their cronies still get their visas & travel first class, it’s only the odd citizen of SL who has to go through the hassle of applying for visas to countries which have downgraded or closed their missions in SL & the minor problem of competing with other third world countries in finding markets for our products. The tourists come as long as it’s cheap (thanks to a depreciating Rupee), people still drink tea (not necessarily SL tea), the SL image is tottering around ‘pariah’ status, it’s all ‘relative’. The diplomats are there to gather their rose buds while they can (apologises to Shakespeare). Antagonism & diplomacy, is there a distinction in SL’s foreign service?

Dr. Darshana W / January 27, 2020
Subramaniam Swamy is a neo-hindustic extremist and is well known for making such derogatory statements not only on Islam, but all other religions and faiths.
Responding such an extremist idiot of a person itself explains the psycho-pathetic mindset of Mohan Wijewickrama (MW) , the newly delegated High Commissioner to Pakistan.
MW if his credentials as HC would be accepted by the Government of Pakistan will be tightly rope- bounded in three directions with zero degree of freedom to negotiate. in other words, he shall become a crony of the US.
Whilst it is too early, all these ambassadorial appointments DO NO fit into our foreign policy at-all.
However, going by the recent things happening around us, we ARE heading to a DOOMSDAY situation full of nepotism and autocracy unless there is a movement of the intellectual Urban people.

Concerned citizen / January 27, 2020
What this dumb stupid uneducated vice admiral doesn’t know is that The Muslim’s ruled the current Indian region for 700 years, if they wanted to convert this to a Muslim land they could have easily done it in the last 700 years, but they are not obsessed with that like the racist Hindus, after 700 years the region is still 85% Hindus
What it shows is that they ruled it for 700 years with justice and peace, now the Hindus are ruling it only for 60 years and everyone can see what they are doing, this is the reason the Hindus were always subjects and not rulers, they are not fit to be the ruling class

Siva Sankaran Sharma / January 28, 2020
Not just India. you conveniently forgot to add the populations of Pakistan and Bangladesh and even Afghanistan ( current South Asia and the Indian region) who were all Hindu/Buddhist until the Muslim Mughals ( Mongols) arrived from Central Asia and forcibly converted these people to Islam , including large parts of Northern India . If you add all these people , they have more or less forcibly converted 605 million out of a total population of 1.799 billion. this is 34% approximately. It would have been more but most of South India and the Maratha areas in western parts of India successfully resisted Islamic rule and remained predominantly Hindu. In Northern Kerala during Tippu Sultan’s rule millions of Hindu Nairs , Brahmins and Nambiars were forcibly converted to Islam. This is the main reason Kerala has a 30% Muslim population , due to all these forced conversions and northern Kerala now an Islamic stronghold. Nothing against Muslims but this is a historical fact

I am a Tamil nationalist but I can’t help but to support the Hindu + Buddhist unity in South Asia and in the rest of the world. It makes a lot of sense for the Hindus and Buddhist to unite when Particularly the Muslims want to dominate the whole world.

Mr.Swamy and Mr. Wijewickrama have simply stated the well known fact. After Muslims have killed more 250 and injured 500 innocent people, Sinhalese learned the hard way not to trust terrorism 1slam people ever again. Even Great Anagarika Darmapala had warn extensively about them.

Authorities must keep an eye on Muslim politicians who make deals with Muslim embassies in Colombo. No more Muslim ambassadors!!!

There is nothing wrong in appointing Viyathmaga members to high posts per se. Viyathmaga consists of large number of experienced professionals unlike many other politically involved organisations. As long as the individuals appointed possess related professional skills, their appointments would be quite advantageous given they have already bought into Gota’s vision and in fact have contributed developing it.

Pakistan’s real power lies with it’s military. In that sense Mohan’s appointment may benefit forging stronger links.

“Pakistan’s real power lies with it’s military. “

Of course not, its powerlessness lies with its stupid people and state within the state.
If true General Yahya Khan would not have lost half of his country.
If pushed too hard, stupid people may react differently.

It’s like holding handful of cooked rice in your palm and squeezing the contents by closing your hand tightly. In the end nothing will remain in your palm. Remind your self proclaimed strongman he has to work with people and stop squeezing their b***s.

After 10 or more years this war criminal has conceded the death of civilians during the war. Go ask him why did it take so long?

Good Sense / January 28, 2020
Yet another Viyathmaga appointment. One wonders what happened to that committee of intellectuals to handle various appointments. The real issue is do we appoint ambassadors based on the ability in securing Sri Lanka’s interests in a given situation or are they merely honorifics like conferring “Nindagams” during the times of the ancient kings in Sri Lanka? Meritocracy should be the keyword. The government of Pakistan may accept a person who has expressed anti-Pakistani sentiments as the Ambassador from Sri Lanka but certainly not its people. Pakistan may have to provide the best of security to guard the man and who knows what kind of explosion there can be to eliminate based on edicts of secret societies there.

In our convection that current appointment of Ambassador to Pakistani is fair played by President of GR. He is man with clear policies of mandate won by 2019 Nov. 16th. The GR has to undertaken that fully responsibility of post of Ambassador to Representative to our nation that mind set should be reflected aspiration of our People which that outside that Sri Lanka.
Do not believed that UNP an advocated of foreign Ambassador Lanka to depend on that puppet of foreign interest .
But current Govt .upheld that the Independent of Nation that Sovereignty of ours an Island.
Many that proposed Ambassador has to follow that of Independence line of Foreign policies, while that do not that committed Big-power rivalries of in Indian Ocean.
The balance of World Power has shifted to New Era. Well that 21st century of that USA hegemony has lost its power has change into Rise of Asian region and Eastern nations as well.
We needed a New Set of Foreign policies rather than that UNP of Pro-Western puppet of politicized … by policies are incompatible of ongoing situation, Not that suited current conditions Global politics. the UNO has bigger role to play but is sorry to say that UNO has become powerless outlet.
We were key members Non-aligned movement and country since 1956 of by SWRD govt.
Therefor we had been pioneer and founded nation of that Member of Non aligned movement of since 1961. During SLFP leadership of SRD Banadarake governance since 1960 to 1977.
We do not that involved any power rivals between Emerging countries or Big power as well.
Our Land and Soil are FREE from Military bases in Indian Ocean .
We seek Indian Ocean as Peace Zone.
Which is that 21st century of that Sri Lanka’s foreign policy could be shape in….future.
