President Mahinda Rajapaksa today heavily criticized the protests and hartal campaigns that were carried out in the country.
Speaking at the opening of the fuel storage facility and a re-fuelling terminal at the Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport and the Magampura Harbour yesterday, the President was extremely critical particularly of hartal campaigns.
“During the conflict period, the LTTE killed people irrelevant of their ethnicity. Certain groups that didn’t dare stage a single hartal campaign during the LTTE period have now started them. Large scale (maha-loku) hartal campaigns are organized for even the most minor incidents,” he said.
He was careful not to mention which hartal campaign or protest he was referring to. However, the most recently held hartal was organized by the Muslim Rights Organization last week in the wake of anti-Muslim violence that erupted in Aluthgama and Beruwela. It was carried out in several Muslim dominated areas in the country including parts of Colombo, calling for the immediate arrest of culprits responsible for the clashes.
The President also said he would not allow any one community to betray, down-trod or suppress another. “The fate of this nation should not fall into the hands of any of these minor factions of this country – we cannot stand by and let it happen,” he added.
Furthermore, he promised the law will be promptly enforced on ‘certain’ incidents that have occurred.
“Extremists on both sides have carried out actions that has incited racism; it is time both sides stopped it,” the President said.

In your eyes those who were killed in Aluthgama and the loss of properties are minor matters. You need to check your maramandai. Yes we know you have nothing in your head.

This is how he ticks.
That is typical to Rajapakshes. That is th ereason why they are called born rascals to destroy innocient human beings. CBK made it very clear as to why her term failed to defeat LTTERs – it was only because her and other leaders did not want to let kill innocient masses. Latter was the clear case in Rajapakshe administration, but totday, tthey have been isolted in the entire world not being able to face – how many of the innocient were killed in the war end. Here too, if things would not work in favours of theim, Rajapakshe brothers would have every power to attack muslims, sinhalese or tamils by using their army. Mahinda governs the nation.

Imagine a race 99% supporting the “SINHALA ONLY” murder project.
Its high time the world Hindus,Christians & Muslims get together and device a plan to choke their economic neck from getting funds by working in Middle East & the Western countries.
Every buddhist diaspora is a fund raiser for this murder project becuase they all come under a Terror Propagating Buddhist Temples.
That’s why no one is coming willingly to condemn these acts.

My dear friends,
To Mahinda who ordered the genocide of more than 147,000 Tamil civilians during the war this is really nothing:
He got away with the genocide of Tamils, destroyed their thousands of homes, their livelihoods, raped thousands of Tamil women, settled hundreds of thousands of Sinhalese from the South in Tamils’ confiscated properties, and built Buddhist temples on Hindu temple sites: That’s his big accomplishment!
They want to teach lessons to Muslims too – this is a small lesson: What he implies is that bigger things (total genocide) is to come for Muslims if they retaliate instead of cowing down like serfs.
This is a warning to Muslims from a mass-murderer – a serial killer – who murdered a Sinhalese and got away with it when he was young!
My friends, wake up, this the reality today in Sorry Lanka!

Dear Mr. President Mahinda Rajapaksa
RE: Maha Loku’ Hartals Are Organized For Minor Incidents, Mahinda Slams Mulsim Hartals and
RE: “Anti-Muslim Attacks Well-Planned Government Effort”
A Minor incident? So you wan to appease the BBS and the Sinhaka Buddhist Racists and Chauvinists?
No. The evidence points to that. The Monk of Kanda Vihara and the the driver seem to have been been set up for this false Flag operation.
“Most importantly, why did the Inspector General of Police N.K. Ilangakoon state that a Buddhist monk had been assaulted when he had no evidence to support the claim? The Judicial Medical Officer’s report which would have either proven or refuted the said monk’s claim (as of Friday) has not been issued. Highly placed sources at the Attorney General’s Office could not confirm that the monk had indeed been assaulted”
Why lie? What is the need to lie?
1. The problem is that these Sinhala “Buddhists”, and the State and Mara have been making so many lies, both small and big, for so long, they are unable to distinguish between a small lie and a big lie and the repercussions of the lie. So in order to sort out the lies, the chain of events need to be sorted out with factual evidence, instead of he said-she said arguments. This is what I gathered from the grape wine, the actual events need to be confirmed with more independent eye witness news.
2. There was an altercation between a three wheeler owned by two Muslim youth and the driver of the van the Monk from Kanda Vihara was travelling. It was not clear if it was related to a parking or accident or a verbal exchange that resulted in the exchange of blows between the drive rand the two or 3 Muslim youth.
3. However, even though the driver and the Monk were hospitalized, apparently there was no medical evidence for any injuries on the Monk. so what is the truth? Did the Monk lie? did the driver lie?
4.. There are rumors that the Monk attached to the Kanda Vihara, Alutgama,is an agent of BBS, though not a member, and may have participated in a False Flag Operation, set up for a rally on Sunday, with the President out in Bolivia. Was it a random traffic altercation, or a well planned operation to come up with a reason for the rally on Sunday the 15th and the BBS terrorism later on? Circumstantial evidence and the chain of events appear to show that it was planned ahead, well ahead of June 12th. Did the IGP have complicity? Was Gotabaya Rajapaksa behind it? Was is exclusively BBS? What role do the police play> Why were they spectators and assisters?
5. Rumors were spread saying that a Monk was killed by Muslims. So clearly, this was planned. Besides, the BBS and Gotanaya Rajsapaksa, who knew of the plan?
6. “It was not, let us repeat, not a peaceful procession” Yes it was not a peaceful procession. They were looking for trouble. Initial Attack by BBS and other Terrorists looking for a fight in Aluthgama.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ylqbhDDx6w
7. One can see the BBS thugs were protected by police and the people in the procession stated firing or the police stated firing.
8. “If there was convoluted justification of last Sunday’s violence and if justification spurred further violence the blame falls squarely on the IGP for making the following (irresponsible) statement: ‘Three Muslims in a trishaw assaulted the driver and the Buddhist monk. The Buddhist monk was in hospital receiving treatment for two days and then discharged. He was to be taken to the temple in a procession when the incident occurred.’” The Govt, is trying to whitewash the BBS and Gotabaya Rajapaksa using Shills.
9.. So, who are the suspects for this “Minor” incident by the Sinhala Buddhist racists BBS and their UPFA Supporters?
a) Gotabaya Rajapaksa
b) BBS and its members and riot participants
c) Police
d) Special police
e) Monk of Kanda Vihara. Authgama
f) The Driver g) The three Muslim Youth
h) The Editors of Silumina for Lying
g) The Editors of Daily Mirror for lying
h) The Editors of Daily News. i) Host of other shills.

AFHAM / June 23, 2014
After speaking to one Sri Lankan MP, I have received the below updates:
Sri lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa threatening Sri Lankan Muslim Ministers at the meeting regarding the BBS riots and government responsibility for its action . Now President of Sri Lanka trying to victimise SL Muslim Leaders . The government plans was unsuccessful in provoking SL muslims and attempting to label SL muslims as dangerous.
” President Rajapaksa Scolds Rishad Badhiutheen at Cabinet Meeting and Tells his Commerce Minister to “Stop Speaking and Shut Up”.Sparks flew at the weekly cabinet meeting held on Thursday June 19th when the issue of anti Muslim violence instigated by the Bodhu Bala Sena in Aluthgama and Beruwela was discussed.Heated arguments occurred between Muslim cabinet ministers Rauff Hakeem and Rishad Badhiutheen on the one hand and Buddhist cabinet ministers Champika Ranawaka on the other.The bone of contention was the Bodhu Bala Sena(BBS). While the two Muslim ministers were harshly critical of the BBS and wanted the outfit proscribed the Buddhist ministers defended the BBS and argued against a ban on the Buddhist organization alone.Both Hakeem and Badhiutheen had wanted action to be taken against Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara Thero for his inflammatory anti –Muslim speech in Aluthgama.The highlight of the cabinet meeting however was the flare up between President Mahinda Rajapaksa and Industries and Commerce Minister Rishad Badhiutheen.According to informed sources cabinet minister Badhiutheen who is also the leader of the All Ceylon Peoples Congress had addressed the President at one stage and stated “After the ethnic violence of July 1983 it has been under your rule that communal violence and destruction of such magnitude has happened.The Government headed by you as President must take full responsibility for what happened in Aluthgama and Beruwela.An irritated President had responded “Are you not a minister in this Government”?.To which Badhiutheen had replied “Yes. But you do not listen to what we say as ministers. We wanted the BBS rally in Aluthgama to be stopped but our request was ignored. Gnanasara Thero spoke and encouraged violence. Now we want action taken against him but nothing is happening. Gnanasara Thero is at the bottom of most anti-Muslim activities. We want you to take action against him but you are not doing that.If you do not take action about Gnanasara Thero this country will suffer more violence and destruction”.Agitated at the unusual defiance displayed by Badhiutheen the President had retorted angrily “Do you know what will happen if the Sinhala ministers present here start speaking on behalf of our Sinhala people in the way that you are speaking in support of your Muslims”?A tended Badhiutheen had then replied” You must not talk like that sir. You are not the President of the Sinhala people alone. You are the President of the whole country and all the communities.You are the President for the Sinhala,Tamil and Muslim people. You must look after all communities equally. You must not act like the President of the Sinhala people alone.These words of Badhiutheen enraged the President who is known to be angered easily.He stood up angrily and wagged his finger at Badhiutheen. “Stop speaking immediately and shut up. You are racist and a religious fundamentalist. I have been observing your activities for some time now”.While a visibly shaken Badhiyutheen sat in silence pandemonium reigned. Several ministers got involved in a heated exchange. Senior ministers however intervened and eased the tension by calming their emotional colleagues

My dear respected brothers honestly neither Buddhist or Muslims have problems. These rifts and misunderstandings have been instigated by Israeli Jewish who achieved their targets by causing misconceptions in minority Sinhalese brothers who don’t know much about Buddhism. I am not accusing but even in Muslims and other religions, there are frictions of people who are unaware about their religious ethics. We all have to be vigilant. There was no problem until the Jewish diplomatic relationship between Israel and current government.
/
kp / June 23, 2014
So… the Israelis started the anti-Burgher rhetoric of the ’50s and the anti-Tamil violence too, is it?
Come to think of it, wasn’t there anti-muslim riots in 1915 or thereabouts? Even before Israel existed. Curious. Maybe they invented a time machine.
Conspiracy theorists like you are not only ridiculous, but are helping the extremist Sinhalese to escape culpability. Stop with this nonsense.

Israelis are snakes. They slither into countries, buy the support of politicians, media, and business leaders, and then control them and what goes on in a country. The US Congress, it’s media, and others are beholden to Israel. Israel is dangerous. They pretend to be victims, while killing Palestinians, their children, steal their lands, demolish their homes, control their water, burn their orchards, and collectively punish them.
They they whine and complain when Palestinians send home made rockets to protest the occupation.
Some of the tactics used by the rajapaksa’s are similar to Israel. The rajapaksa’s, just like Israel are now
blaming the victims of hate crimes, just like the Palestinians are always blamed. If the rajapaksa’s are getting the support of Israel, Sri Lanka is doomed. No one can get rid of them. They now control the US, media, politicians, and call the shots there.

It seems stupidity makes you see Israel as too virtuous. There are many indications that there are outside evil influences attempting to interfere in our nation, and train and finance, Buddhist monks, to start another ethnic war, just like those terrorists in Burma. These mindless, uneducated hate mongers, are not smart enough to organize their hate in such a way, and could not have initiated this without either support of the government or alien trouble makers. There is no convincing someone, who comes here with an obvious agenda, and who continuously keeps getting corrected by others for silly theories.

Mahinda is singularly responsible for destroying good relations between Sinhala and Muslim communities in the island. Unfortunately, this chasm will remain for a long time after he is gone. What a stupid imbecile…

“Mahinda is singularly responsible for destroying good relations between Sinhala and Muslim communities in the island.”
Isn’t he a Sinhala/Buddhists politician like the previous rulers of this island?
Mahinda is only one politician who has been misusing the the state structure which is essentially a Sinhala/Buddhist construct.
Stop blaming Mahinda alone for all that is happening in this island. Ask yourself a question how did we arrive at a situation where majoritarian cannot live without conflict and self destruction?
It is the majority which elect its leaders, forms government man state institutions including judiciary, armed forces and police. And you are one of them who habitually blame others for the ills of 66 years of majoritarian racism. Wisen up.
Stop pretending you care about my ancestral land.

Native Vedda:
As I said before you Native Veddha and BBS Chanasara are two sides of the same coin. You hate Sinhala Buddhists and BBS Chanasara hates Muslism.
We do not need in this country people who hate Sinhalese Buddhists or Muslims or Tamils or any other group.

“We do not need in this country people who hate Sinhalese Buddhists or Muslims or Tamils or any other group.”
Sinhala/Buddhists hate Sinhalese, Buddhists, Tamils, Muslims, Chritians, Hindus, …………. Burgers ……..
From your past comments one can understand how desperate you are to build a Sinhala/Buddhist mono-ethnic state. The project didn’t start with BBS nor would it end with saffron clad thug Gnanasara. You may not resort to violence but you would not stop it as you hope ethnically cleansed island would be your ultimate goal. Gnanasara is only and extreme example of the Sinhala/Buddhist mindset.
If you haven’t learnt anything from the past you are not going learn anything from the present.
” Mahinda is singularly responsible for destroying good relations between Sinhala and Muslim communities in the island. Unfortunately,”
Mahinda didn’t start the project,i.e Sinhala/Buddhisisation of this land. It started with Anagarika Dharmapala (the homeless one) with his overtly racist Sinhala/Buddhist ideology, continued through out the past 66 years of misrule, hugely practised by all the Sinhala/Buddhists and subsequently given it a form which you now call Sri Lanka. MR is only playing his role, a born again Duttu Gamini. You too are contributing to this project albeit in a small way.
As usual blame the victims. You should not blame the Sinhala/Buddhist state and its Sinhala/Buddhists rulers. That would be your sacred duty as a ardent Sinhala/Buddhist.

The President is right, because this is the type of democracy he is developing in the ‘Miracle of Asia’. He is being absolutely honest. Thanks Mr. President telling us how we should behave in your democracy- shut up; not protest;, not dissent; bear our pains and burdens in absolute silence; praise you to the skies at every opportunity we get; treat you , your family and your cohorts like our new Gods; accept whatever you and your minions say as the absolute truth; accept whatever you and your cohorts do as the manna from heaven;and vote for you and your progeny for ever.
Mr. President please amend the constitution again, before you lose the support of the SLMC, to rename our country ‘MIHIN LANKA’. Please also make thug Gnanasara your Vice-President through a constitutional amendment. His services to this country need to be honoured.

May I remind the good doctor and all our readers that plans are afoot to declare Gnansara as the ‘National Padikkama’ in recognition of his dis-service to the community.

What medal of honor should we award to your brother Rajasigham Jayadevan for trying to deproscribe LTTE in the UK in 2001?
The national medal of hellfire?
You have heard the saying that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones right?

Wrong! unless they live in reinforced gorilla glass houses.

BBS Rep / June 23, 2014
“The fate of this nation should not fall into the hands of any of these minor factions of this country – we cannot stand by and let it happen,” MR said. Well Mr President you did stand by and let it happen. You did nothing all these days and now you are jumping up like a Sinhaya. The blood of those who died in Aluthgama is in your hands.
“Furthermore, he promised the law will be promptly enforced on ‘certain’ incidents that have occurred.” That is right. He arrested 8 Muslims for the murder and mayhem unleashed on the Muslims in Aluthgama.
“Extremists on both sides have carried out actions that has incited racism; it is time both sides stopped it,” I agree. One side is the GOSL and the other is BBS. It is time these two sides stopped it.

What Mara says only goes to prove that he is already engaged in the 2015 Presidential Election Campaign, serenading the idiotic Buddhist electorate. If they had any grey matter they would have asked him how many million he diverted to his family exchequer when constructing the Mattala airport.
Many commentors here are still assuming they can persuade him to act as President of all Sri Lankans. The sooner they get rid of the delusion the better for the country. Nothing they say is going to change his destructive course.
Any one who has any kekkuma for the country should think, and do anything that they can do, to destroy the Ruling Family – politically, financially and physically. Send them all to hell. Focus only on one goal – to save Mother Lanka.

Ansar / June 23, 2014
How about naming him RAJAPRABA. Perfect match, with his physique, moustache and the deadly murderous face he has gotten into since of late.
That will sum up everything where the country is heading after the defeat of the LTTE, regrettably causing so much civilian casualties, which cannot be condoned.

Rachasabatcha, yes, death of 4 people, destruction of 80 odd homes and injury to 80 plus people is minor for you as you have done more gruesome killing of 40,000 people or more, so these are minor for you. Racist rowdybacchaa..

Don’t worry sir, we as Pure Sinhala Buddhists are always with you. We know very well that you are related to Lord Buddha and King Dutugamunu and you will protect “Sinhala Buddhism” along with Naanasaara. We are very proud that during your time you changed “Thun Sarana” to “Hathara Sarana” by adding “Aba Sarana” with the help of Nanasaara. I am sure in the near future “Tri Pitakaya” also will be changed to “Hathara Pitakaya” by adding” Madamulana Rajapaksha Pitakaya” Actually I also cannot understand why these Muslim extremists are organizing Hartals for a minor Issue like this. Only just 3 guys Died and may be 700 – 800 houses and properties burned and this is not even falling in to Minor Category. “No Limit” fire has nothing to do with Aluthgama incident as Police has proved that fire occurred due to “Electrical Fault” or if not with “Cigarette butt”. That is already ruled out. Actually I am Very Proud about Our Sinhala Buddhist’s People as they wants to know the “score” only as in Katunayaka, Halawatha, Rathupaswella and Hanwella. Muslim extremists attacked Sunday Leader and Irudina Journalists and that was not a news even for Sunday Leader or Irudina as the attack was so negligible as attackers used to attack with “Sellam Weapons” We also know very well Sir, Muslim extremists and Wellaala Vignashwaran are Jealous with you as you gave Peace to Bolivia as you given to us. Respected Sir, don’t stop at that,there are many countries like Nigeria, Somaliya, Burma, Viatnam, Uganda, Swaziland (Your best friends Country) along with other developed Countries need your help to have SriLanka kind of peace. Please go ahead, Probably you may need their help one day. who knows? Vignashwaran and Muslims knows very well that they can’t fight for “Tamil Elam” or “Separate State for Muslims” as we are enjoying Peace. On the other hand if the Incident is so serious to organize Hartal, why not our great Muslim leaders didn’t resign from the Govt? Rauf Hakeem still the Justice Minister while Azwar still making point of orders as the incident is sooo…….minor. That is why you are known as Sri Rohana Manaranjana, Keerthi Sri 3 Sinhaladeeshwara, Saddarmadveepa Chakrawarthi, Saasana Chakrawarthi, Palapurudu, 3 Sanwedee, Nihathamani, Gami Suwada Hadunana, Kamkaru Nayaka thua Sir.
