Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa says that he fervently hopes President Sirisena would start practicing මෛත්රී (metta) towards the people of the country and politicians who bear opposing views.
Speaking at an event in Yaapahuwa this week, while hoping well for the war heroes and the people of Sri Lanka, he recited a prayer-like statement in which he said he hopes for the hatred, anger and jealousy in the minds of those governing the country presently to end.
“I hope for the hatred to end, for the anger to end and the jealousy to end. I hope it leaves the hearts and minds of the politicians governing the country today. I hope they put a stop the vengeful activities they are currently executing,” he said.
He also said that he hopes those who govern the country would have a shift in their mindsets to rethink their decision of sacking thousands of people from their jobs and re-recruit them so that their livelihoods are not cut-off.
“I also hope for the vengeful politics, the bogus charges and the imprisonments carried out against politicians who bear opposing views would change. . . I hope they would observe and practice ‘maithri’” he added.

Mahinda Rajapaksa,
You are the greatest liar ans sucker for Astrologers.
Pity on the Sinhala Modayas, fools, who believes you.
There are plenty of mondays and Fools to choose from when the National IQ is 79.
It is like fishing for “Kanayas”, Stupid Fish, in a pond.

Mahinda Rajapaksa, aka Mara? Why?
In Buddhism, there is Buddha and Mara,
In Sri lanka, there is MaRa, mara, Mahinda Rajapaksa, the evil Buddha warned against, the Crooks, Robbers and Criminals, CRCs.
Remember that.

I am a born srilanken. I beleong to Sinhala race. I left the country 3 decades ago heading to Europe. Having lived on the west for so long, I feel not just few things but entire administration and systems in my former home country has been destructed, today the levels of social erosion in the country is comparable to that of a far poor afro state. Just because of few roads and some progress made in urban areas, we cant consider that the country has reached to all mid income levels. Any mid come earning country people in general respect law and order above anything else. But lawy makers themselves break the laws in srilanka today sometimes you cant see the reasons why. I wonder some minority consituent parties like that of Wimal Weerawanse argue just to animate the masses that help Mahinda Rajapakse who as monster of the nation sucked in all forms. The highest crime one could do as a president is to abuse the funds allocations that have been made on the sake of the nations. This man provably have grabed all high corrupted events wihtout thinking twice. The vey same man to stay SCOT FREE even after 63 days gone with new adminsitration is a greater puzzle to right thinking people of anywhere.

i hope MY3 will do justice for the entire sriLankan people by putting the Mafia family behind the bars, don’t let Ranil handle the law & order , if he does , none of the Mafia family members will ever get punished .
Ranil and Long John had prevented arresting MR for an alleged murder case which said to be taken in late 90’s , this time too , same duo muddling with law & order , what a co-incident !
/
Sirimal / March 14, 2015
Dear Friend Srilal,
I have no doubt about that. Today My3 has made it very clear that he would not be backward to punish anyone regardless of the status. I think the days of Rajas are numbered now. That is why he is now on mission to here and there animating the vulnerable masses across the country. I dont think people are that stupid as he judged at them earlier.

My Dear friend Sirimal ,
At last we did it , didn’t we ? what a relief , we all managed to do it without spilling a drop of blood ! what a remarkable achievement , our long awaited freedom finally came to us on 9th Jan 2015 , for me ,this is my independence day , i salute each and every body who fought for our 2nd independence , especially CBK , we owe you Madam CBK !
Ranil’s strange behavior and his subsequent actions are puzzling me , i don’t know what is going on , certainly his actions are encouraging MR’s return !

Look who is praying now for anger and hatred to end!
You and your criminal acolytes spread anger and hatred on a daily basis throughout society when you were in power. The people’s prayers were answered when the Gods kicked you and your lot out of power.
God doesn’t listen to sinners like you so stop wasting your time and spend it on redeeming your soul by doing some charity work until the end of your days.

I can compare very well this with th eway Duminda as a single man campaigned for Rajapakshe Prez election. Most of the time making statement ” Prez Rajapakshe love srilankens and there is a consipiracy to topple his govt etc”. Many with a bird brain felt like ” criminals commited high crimes are the first to know the gravity of their crimes”: Now just the very same prez to behave so sobre as if his administration only LOVED the nation….. people should be really stupid if they appearantly have not got it -…. culture introduced by Basil, Mahinda are far brutal than it appears to be. So, even if one is raped, tortured, abducted on a public stage, nothing was made towards the justice during the times of MR SHOULD not be forgotten. Riots purposefully made on Beruwala/Aluthgama were not forgotten to all of us. Burtalities deliberately made with BODUBALASENA … was painted by their media as if nothing towards harm was done by them…. today, those babaric monks stay mum not being able to move on with their agendas since they are very clear, if would do so, they would be caught by the authorities highly active in the country under the lead of MY3. That is the greater difference.

MR has lost memories of the time of his rule as to how many people were harrassed and hurt for whatever reason may be of which public is aware and tgst is why he was shown the door out.
He is now travelling between various temples appealing to the Gods, Goddesses of different kinds
perhaps with valuable offerings (indirect bribes to the Gods/Goddesses).
President Maithreepala Sirisena is a humble human being, living a simple life, similarly his wife.e.g.
One can see how little was spent on his recent visits to India, UK, etc contrary to the way peoples money was spent/ wasted during the previous regime. In a similar manner, the Prime Minister, too conducts his affairs in a simple manner as possible.
These two gentlemen of the highest calibre do not apply the “jungle law” as was done previously but the officials are carrying out various investigations and the rule of law will be applied sooner or later.
MR can speak to the gallery pretending to be very innocent and ruled the country in Ahimsa way but the public now knows well what was happening in the past and will come to know more when investigations are over.

Supun Jayawardhana / March 13, 2015
as if the man under his adminsitration safeguarded the rights of the lankens ?
Just because his terms happened to put the fullstop to the 30 year war – that cant ben the licence very same man to loot the nation. But name of the war victory, he did it… today, almost everything is gone to pieces – for him just prayers remain. However, these are just to maniplulate the masses again… knowing that coming colour for his men are not nice. This man

Leelawathie / March 14, 2015
Now the bugger has started telling bana as if he could do the job better. At the time Mervin or Duminda Silva brutally attacked the nation, drug kin pins went on their all underground activities to keep their businesses intact, this man as the nation s leader, kept quiet since part of the profit was clearly divided within them. But today to have guts to make sobre statements – is a real joke to anyone who closely studies all these. But signifcant masses of the country among the folks are highly entwined with corruption to even let it go…. as if nthing hurts. For me, the man belongs to jail sessions as it is the case with former Maldivian president. No doubt that he could exercise some special freedom in the jail as a repay for his term to have put the fullstop to 30 year civil war. But it should be read as just he was not the only one to have supported that…there should be open discussions on the issue – allowing people to raise questions and receive the due answers. SF should be interviewed openely to answer practical questions about the decisions made in terms of each and every issues handled by him on the ground… while listneing ot the order of the defence ministry. If all these woul dhave been discussed openly – poeple will realize how it had been…. whether the cake to be eaten by Rajapakshes alone was fair at all…

Ha ha – Need to laugh loud and clear. Yes Maithri please don’t have hatred, jealousy and anger but do justice. We who voted for you wants you to be “a just” palakaya. Sri Lanka needs all the stolen money back and we want the rogues punished in the name of justice. It is the voters money they have stolen and spent on tamashaas
I read somewhere that a person goes on saying ” I never took revenge” and “please don’t take revenge”, people tend to believe that the speaker has never taken revenge so this is what MR is doing.
MR took revenge on public figures( SF, Chief Justice, journalists) but I am told that he even took revenge from politicians by beating them up physically with his own hands.
These statements must be a reply to ADK of JVP. There was a short video in which he tells MR that he must be making racist comments because he is sad and angry. If MR practiced what he is preaching now, he would be still there as our beloved President.

Kumar R. / March 13, 2015
Maali,
As for “MR even took revenge from politicians by beating them up physically with his own hands,” the Kelaniya Mervyn will be a good source of first-hand (no pun intended) information.
What will be really good is to put MR and Mervyn in a cell together for a night – and watch who has hatred and who takes revenge to the “next” level!
/

He should re-live the emotions, fear, of the people whom he gave “a ride on the white van” out of this world. He should feel their pain, anguish, every second for the rest of his life behind bars, not as a free man!! That will teach the future politicians to lead a clean life!

Justice & Fairplay / March 14, 2015
“I hope for the hatred to end, for the anger to end and the jealousy to end.”…………. “I hope they put a stop the vengeful activities they are currently executing,”
The quotes are from the article above.
Hatred to end … Hatred was manifested by none other than the MaRa government and its acolytes. Racial hatred was fanned by them obviously, as they did nothing when the BBS ran amok among the muslims some months ago.
Anger to end …. Really? So he thinks we will all forget the plunder, the looting and the murders during his time and forgive them all?
Jealousy to end ….. Jealousy towards whom? Jealousy surfaces only when someone wants what he does not have and some others have.
No one wishes to have what Mr Rajapakse and his kith and kin have. We may be poor but we wont be tempted.
All those who believe that the on-going investigations are through hatred, anger and jealousy, really need to stop fooling themselves.
If this constitution allows the bad rulers to misuse it, the problem is not with the constitution but the persons in whose custoday it is kept. Essentially, the custodian has to be ‘Bad’, to turn the constitution into an evil implement.
Let us not blame the constitution. Instead focus on those who used it to meet their ends.

Even while praying, this shark of the Indian ocean is a laughing, such action is contempt of the god he worships. And is an insult of the followers of this religion.
During his rein how many thousands prayed like him but were crying. They were not given the freedom to pray due to the fear of white vans, Maheswaran was murdered when he came out of the temple. Here, he knows and confident that all the leads that might put him in trouble have been sorted and he is safe now. He relieved the current MS government is not as good as his, in terms of going after the opposition. He is laughing because he knew the things that he did would not have allowed him to wander at large as a hero of this country, but this is our country. The coup itself is sufficient enough to put them all involved behind including our GLP, fortunately for them it wasn’t to be.

Did not he Ask You to ,First Wash your Blod Sins and Come to the Temple?.
And Why Did not Go to Thirupathy and Sawrimalai Temples to Find your saviour Gods and ask for Indian God’s Blessings [ Not Modi’s RAW’s Or SIS’s Blessings].
No way that you can get any Peace of mind, Or Blessings. Until you Pay for you BLOODY SINS.

Can this Mahinda ( Ex President MARA ) follow the foot steps of that Mahinda ( the Ven monk Mahinda the son of Emperor Asoka, who together with his sister brought Buddhism to Lanka ). ?
Bikku Mahinda and Bikkuni Sangamitha renounced their dynastic politics and the associated powers, comforts and wealth , practiced DHARMA and preached DHARMA.
Our MARA is preaching only but on the other hand determined to be the Prime Minister of Lanka again and with executive power and wants his dynasty to continue ruling Lanka .
Will his party cadre and the majority of the Southern voters, overwhelmingly support him to fulfill his desires ?

Don’t waste your time Monster, the prayers of the oppressed has been answered and God does not accept bribes and will never answer the prayers of the atrocity maker. He gave you enough time to redeem yourself, over 10 years. You never mended yourself and went from pillar to post with your atrocities.
Now the time is up and brace yourself for the calamity to befall you and nothing can stop that from happening.

Is this at all possible in our culture ?
Suppose if MR would have been arrested if any european law men would do – what would have been consequences of this flawed nation ?
From Hambantota to KKS, people would jump on to the streets and killing and harming the masses. It is just because they the Mahinda Rajapkshes have consoliated their powers by making the average ones so deaf and blind. Many would stay mum if Rajapakshes and their goons would abuse their in broadday light. What matters for the people is just to enjoy the momment. I am not talking about our major minority folks, but sinahalyas. They would not see it right even if their family, ktih and kin have been influenced by higher abuses perpetrated by Rajapakshes and their goons. Latter is not called civlived culture… but a cutlure pave all revenues for avenues for criminals.
