This I have been waiting to happen for long.
Finally it worked, This bugger was the person who spread blantant lies on the disspearance of cartoonist Eknaligoda. It was just because the guy was caricatured by Rajapakshe kalliya to block the issue. We heard him saying disspeared Eknaligoda to have met with him in France somewhere.
This later became a hearsay or so, and the lanken powerless judiciary just ignored it for some reasons.
Now with SOME SAFRON ROBED men backing and begging for a collection from the very same lankens for getting Weeratunga or the th elike smeared men free from the prison, the country has again been marching to a crisis.
I think that is the reason why Lanken legal men moved forward in snail manner.
Masses in the country are caught by abusive Rajapakshes.
If they are asked to spice KAKKA of Rajapakshe, they would do so without thinking twice.
People have been made vulnerable for their political survivials.
This is the saddest reality of this nation.
People- majority are unedcuated rural folks. Their votes are the power of them have been abused by Rajapakshe goons for their politics.

Samuel Jayaweera / September 12, 2017
Arundhika was playing a real game.
All those he added following his meeting with INTERPOL searching next high profile robber former President s cousin – Udayanga Weeratunga to have been mét in Japan…..
Lanken press is biased and they dont spread TRUTHs to the nation.
Dherana Nalika has been traveeling to Korea and Japana on a regular manner to keep those diasphora in tact faovuring to Rajapakshe politics. This Dherana Chaturas top of agenda. Please check it and study them properly.
They also have dealt with ones living in Italy and Dubai.
Most of these men have been made blind but the blindness would not last forever
Those who living on the west cant be made blind easily they are simply against Rajapakshe or the like thugs. They just want a man of Nagananda Nature to be the next presidential candidate and crush all the high corrupted men of both grand parties.
They would also support JVPrs but JVPrs have not shown their hearted nature except being stuck to their revengeful agendas. Besides JVPs are not practical enough to work on the MOST vulnerable masses in who are the vote base for lanken candidates in this country.

Uthungan / September 12, 2017
It is a good idea.
Why shouldn’t Nagananda be prevailed upon by the people at large to contest for post of President?
JVPers are mischievous, slimey, undependable and do not believe in fair democratic process.
They will create trouble, confuse issues and cause doubts and suspicion between ethnicities.
They are merely rabble rousers. W,Wansa types originated from their ranks.

Sam Fernando / September 14, 2017
It was reported in recent past that a set of investigations have been called on the issue this big mouth be made alleged to have done.
I think best would be, while keeping him asa minister to investigate his and put him jail so that we can save both sides. Just leaving the bugger as non-MY3 supporter, that can only create lot more losses to SLFP.
One should be very strategic here, to save the party but in the same time focusing to corner the bugger and other man NImal Lanza for future investigations. These men have no brains, like bait waiting fishes, they would do anything for money.
There is no respect in them. So we have no other way than treating them with patience until they are caught by their horns.
That is the next step as I see it. No wrong him to keep as a Deputy so long the govt want it. Wait and see, I know MY3 is a sensitive politician, he would do only the best in right time.

Leelawathie / September 12, 2017
This month is critical with lanken politics WITH UNHRC sessions in GENIVA are going on. They the UNO men have criticised the way lanken govt moves forwards in terms of snail actions in the line of bringing reforms to make a change as promised by current duo.
But people in this country are entwined with highly abusive culture/leaders.
It is not separable to anyone easily go against it.
If Safron robed men would use their begging bowl to collect funds supporting to just prisoned men on that SIL CLOTH ISSUE, that would work.
If those men are asked to eat GRASS they would do. to the very same manner those would go on saying SADU SADU not being able to differentiate the physical reality of rainbow reflecting on SOMAWATHIYA dagaba. Physists and other researchers keep away or are made to stay deaf, since the power of intoxication being fallen to stupdieis are higher in this country similar to the levels of INDIA and any other poverly stricken countries.

There was an amazing act of courage by a Lankan.
This guy walks up to Rajapakse group of supporters and says that Rajapakse is a murderer.

This guy has more courage than all our politicians combined.
I hope someone gets Ranil to watch this so he can grow a spine.

Do you know something we are not aware of in terms of the sacking ?
What are the reasons Prez to kick out this alcohol importer all of sudden ?
This man has the talent to make black in to white.
He has been telling that he would not involve in any kind of illegal business but he has always been.
One another ass licker of Rajapakshe but for his own survival.
Big mouth piece but nothing beyond that.

Dear Sama ,
This foul mouthed plonker shouldn’t have been given any ministerial portfolio to start off , may be due to his filthy mouth antiques ,MY3 had decided to offer a deputy ministerial post.This rouge was on 360 ” Dereana ” last night.may be he must have uttered something which annoyed MY3. Arundika is best suited for the Mafia clan.
/
sama / September 12, 2017
Brother Srilal,
you are right. I would like to know why they the press authorities allow Derana to continue. Derana has been spreading all the lies Maharaja to allow outreach masses.
That way, people get twisted, not knowing who has been adding the truths.
Derana just spread their hearsays as headlines.
Can you imagine ? That ballige putha Derana owner is believed tohave started the channel with the black money offered to him by Rajapakshe kalliya.
This should long have been investigated – I would love if Derana men would have been put behind the bar.
That Chartura had previously been normal, but with his frequent travells being made to Korea, has been worseing the sitution. They just add fertilizer Rajapakshe to get more funds from Korean and Italian expatriates.
These should be made clear to lanken PUNNAKKU eaters by various ways.
Then only, they can once for all become clear about the TRUTHS of bloody Rajapakshes.
Brother, please write me as had been prior to 8th Jan 2015. <You had been a great voice ON THIS platform with real facts. We should join together stand against Jarapakshes and their mafia goons scattered everywhere.

Lanken Buddhist monks should be made very clear,
if anyone would have abused the laws.. should be subjected to country s laws.
Sil cloths and distribution them or the like would not have been against morals, but if laws pronounced not to abuse them during the election period should be respected by Rajapakshes.
Now just after verdict is made Rajapakshe to spread lies to the media is beyond all bearing.
He visits almost every high convicted men in prisons today, sending the message across ” I am with you guys”.
That menas, he has been proving himself, to be the KING of high criminals.

Nimal / September 12, 2017
I was really Shocked by that interview.
/
Champa / September 12, 2017
Sam Fenando —
There is nothing wrong with Buddhist monks supporting Lalith as the matter is distributing Sil Redi.—
But I don’t agree collecting money from the public.—-
As MR has taken the responsibility, he should pay the fines.—-
Distributing anything running-upto the election is a violation of the election law eventhough the decision has been taken previously. —-
Lalith/Anusha will be released by Appeal Court. Then Ranil will use it as a “precedent” to spend government money for “similar meritorious deeds” during election time. If Ranil distributes Sil Redi or even Sivuru among Buddhist priests using 600 million, nobody can find faults with him. —-
I am angry. Why didn’t anybody object to distributing Sil Redi. It is not a necessity. Every Buddhist devotee who observes Sil has Sil Redi. —-
MR says those who received are ready to return their Sil Redi; that means either they haven’t used them, if not they were not in need of Sil Redi. —-
How many other “meritorious deeds” could have been done with this money?—-
1. To have Surgical Eye Repair for blind war heroes or donate Hearing Aids to deaf war heroes.—-
2. To replace Prosthesis (artificial limbs). As far as I know they need to be replaced every two years.—
3. To start a Scholarship Fund for the children of deceased/wounded soldiers and children in the North/East who lost their parent/parents during the war.—
4. Transferring to the Pension Fund of disabled war heroes. —-
I never think distributing Sil Redda is a meritorious deed when the money could have been utilized for above deeds, which as a Buddhist I regard as “meritorious deeds.” —-
Then there would never have been a court case like this as anybody can see the “motive” is actually to benefit those who are genuinely in need.
/
leelagemalli / September 13, 2017
You have not noticed it yet. The mistake was to distribute the REDDA while election commissioner had made a plea not to do so.
And the culture, that politicians to distribute things like sewing machines, roof sheets and whatever they thought was okay, started under the guidance of Rajapkashe abusive politics. Going back to Chandrika and prior to her, even at the time, Premadas behaved himself so wild, but he never felt to the level, MR had been during the last election.
Actually, he should be beheaded to have abused not just few hundreds of state funds but mountains of peoples funds.
And he never took it serious, he thought he has the right to do anything no matter people would stand against.
That is a sickness.
Even yesterday I heard him saying, it was he whoo commanded his secretary to do so.
But there should be some law and order when commanding like that. He shoudl have considered what ELECTION commissioner asked for.
Why MR should have been abobe the LAW ?
Just because JACKSON Anthony held a speech in a stadium calling MR as no other… why SHOULD MR become like a king ?
/
Champa / September 13, 2017
leelagemalli
Oh, just give me a break. Ranil rigged votes in the general election in August 2015 which is the biggest election fraud in the history. There was an unjustifiable UNP voter increase in many electorates.
Both on January 8th and August 17, on the day of the election, the computers in EC’s office crashed mysteriously and there were more than 4 hours blackout just before the final result were announced. People were not ready for this in 2015 but they will be ready in 2020. There is no way Ranil succeeds third time.
/
LEELAGEMALLI / September 13, 2017
These are just evasive hearsays, but add your links please.
So that we the CT readership can stand against if RW did as you say.
Now with the bond scam, all to be turned as if RW behaved using same computer GIMMICKS as your beloved MR did it in 2010: These are just stammered stories not having proper counter arguments.
Please provide links so that we can stand against RW on this and even come back to lanka to hand them in to the FCID or any relevant body to investigate them accordingly. Today we have RTI and we can raise our voice if your evidence would be supportive enough to stand against.
Today the situation in term sof justice and democracy is no comparable to the fredal days of Maharaja. That you need to see as right… even 10 year olds would see it that way.
But you guys smeared with all the rhetorics being made by that drama queeen condom and viagra man-Wimal Buruwa… seems like you can see it beyond.
That is where the govt and clean media men work on. People to realize the truth but truth being blocked by HIRU and Derana. I want the latter media men to be punished accordingly.
/
Champa / September 13, 2017
What link are you asking something the entire country witnessed?
You can obtain past election results and compare by yourself. You may not have been in the country or didn’t watch election results live not to notice the discrepancy people saw from their own eyes.
The result was tailor-made. I wrote to Wimal through LCN on the day of the election and told him there was a huge election fraud happening. MR’s stupidity to accept the defeat before the final results avoided people coming forward against vote rigging. Through personal contacts, I even received “tailor-made results” the previous night which I conveyed to Wimal the following day. Only difference was TNA’s 16 seats. My list said 14, otherwise it was almost the same.
We, actually I have one last trump card to be used at the next election be it Presidential or General whichever comes first. There are millions of Sinhalese who love this country like me who are not after personal gain. I am bloody sure we can make a historical difference.
/
LEELAGEMALLI / September 13, 2017
I am from Europe my dear. I know what World witnessed it. That was the only election by large to be accepted as no high rigging incidents were reported.
As you say, anyone can utter nonsense since you guys are servile to Rajapakshes.
For some reasons, you have been made to extend their strengths, even if your lovely ones would have been raped and murdered down.
That has lot to dowith lanken style of average thinking.
We are boiled when we look at the manner you guys have been upto. Above all, lanken monks PINGUTHARAYASA to dare go for PINDU SIGA for further collection, to save very same thugs again ?
All these are just good news for DIMWITS of your nature, but the current rulers would never be shaken by any of the kind of steps.
That GMOA men would have to see it right next, else, people will murder them for sure;since they have made their own enimies.
I hate lanken maasses not having seen the realities yet.
Champa, we wish you all the best. Your fate would be similar to the child got found dead in the den of Wimal DRAMA queen, whose existence is totally proved to have built on BLACK money offered by Rajapakshe goons.

Champa / September 13, 2017
LEELAGEMALLI —
I have no intention reply to your comment as you seem to be suffering from some trauma for some reason which comes as malice with your desire to deliberately twisting the truth.
The cause of the death of the youth found in Wimal’s house was due to natural causes and the report is available for anyone to check. This is a prime example of your attempt to twist the truth according to your imagination. Next time keep your imagination to yourself.
I don’t think you know what the world witnessed.
Kenyan Supreme Court recently gave a historical judgement nullifying Presidential election results.
An official in the EC had found the electronic voting system was ruined a few days before the election which led to unrest in the country.–
Although the Kenyan Elections Commissioner said that there was an attempt to hack but failed and even the international observers said they didn’t see any interference, the impartial Kenyan Supreme Court called for fresh elections accepting there had been anomalies and the results were manipulated in favour of the President who received 54%.—
Our general public’s trust in Judiciary is declining and I saw somewhere that there were corruption charges against the present CJ who was handpicked by Ranil.
Sri Lanka’s general public should be ready for an all-in-one protest if the same thing happened in general election in 2015, happens in 2019/2020.
/
LEELAGEMALLI / September 14, 2017
Champo… please dont utter nonsence.
Present CJ who was handpicked by Ranil ? what rubbish you have been bubbling here. Prez my 3 appointed him after going through the qualifcation list. Unlike the days of ballige putha, as he appointed the corrupted man after Dr. SB, MY3 and RW did nothing wrong in that appointment. That the world respected:
And JVP would not have been silent, if the election results were not acceptable.
Your drama queen should have injected you all the germs as nothing can help you further.
Please enter to Mulleriya and leave our valuable time.
You are absolute on another type that have been paid by BLACK MONEY.
i QUESTION why lankens become so? Bring us one reason why you are prostituting to those men ?
You should have hearts right..
You should also have a good family
From what you write, you are more edcuated than that Drama queen even if your may have been taken away as is the case with those DJ and MS and several other known graduates.
However, if not today, when would you sense it baby ? WHEN ?

LEELAGEMALLI / September 14, 2017
23 year old young chap whose medical history to have contained nothing about heart or neurological problems – to be believed as a natural death ?
Or
once again an effort to bury it under the carpet- as was the case with YOUNG Rugby player ‘s death- formerly confirmed by them as a result of an accident ? Remember or you got your birth yesterday Mrs Champa.
I have all energies against DRAMA queen Wimal Buruwasnse for all the harm his rhetorics have been making in that part of the world.
How a tree climber mentality could know it better than learnt ones .. anything and everything to bugger s eye would become conspiracy but ridiculously enough any malicious acts deliberatly promoted by his Guru, former Prez had not been diserned by him ?
ALL IN ALL YOU AS A SIAMESE TWIN OF wimal Buruwa cant see it right now, but the days to come you will see it.
Post Mortem of the YOUNG boy will come in next days, Ask Drama drag queen to be well alert on that.. we will fight until the bugger would hae been put jail for his rest of life Champo, take our word right. God help SRILANKA.

300 word limit made me drop some words and lines.
There were clear guidelines (10) issued by the Election Commissioner’s Office. As the Chairman/TRC and Secretary to President were the same person, he should have made the EC aware of the transferring of money. He should have known better.
Misusing public resources and exploitation of Public Service/Public Servants are both violation of the election law.
What is wrong is wrong. Individuals don’t matter. What matters is the act.
We need to make things correct rather than defending the action, ‘cos this government can be worse.
/
Sam Fernando / September 14, 2017
You should be uttering this from your other end right?
Please read the verdict. there youwould not need to go beyond the facts.
What matters is the bugger MR et al did not respect the ELECTION commissioners public statments not to bribe own voters. But Ballige puthat as some name him, never ever respected them, but continued using his muscle.
Remember you bastard ? Else, you as one another to have been paid by Rajapakshe black money,we perfectly know and becoming even more clear you have no existence without your servile services.
Good luck.. so long you are the part of majority in this country, we can forget a future for the youth.
God bless srilanka.

1.Arundhika and several other who were part of previous barbaric regime live up their dreams today, but they should be put in jail if people to feel like breath in properly.
2. Next would be that NImal Lanza and Namal Baby -latter two have been uttering large volumes of lies not being able to see it further
3. There are lot more also among the senior men that just abuse their previledges today. It was a mistake these buggers to allow part of CURRENT govt.
4.Authorities of the investigation Dept, please speed up ALCOHOL import related cases against Arundhika so that OUR former leader can visit this Arundhika also ina prison.
5. All other former leaders do lot more for the poor or underpreviledged after their tenure, But our ballige putha Rajapakshes number one duty by today has been visting former men – today convicted criminals in the prisons.
The bugger has been doing a great mistake since no one with brains should do so…

Bunjappu / September 13, 2017
Hey guys, last night I happened to watch SATANA of this week.
There JVP panelist proved the manner stupid Rajapakshe insisted former SRILNKEN AIRLINE management that they could order unaffordable aircrafts amounting to billions of state funds.
There he former leader as the minister of finance had NOT thought even the burden of it – nor had he whatsoever expertise or took advice from the appropriate experts on that. There had also documents which failed his signature but everything else in terms of focused issues had been contained in them.
Can you imagine guys, how a leader ruled the nation, by bringing all the staffs of other institutions too in danger.
This man should have been hallozinated or intoxicated by all means to have behaved so. So was Rajapakshe.
This was just one ,minor example only.
But the backing all various civil forces were made to win any actions taken by, this came into being after the terror was defeated in his first term, which was again due to collectivity of al l various forces. Not just by Rajapakshe wisdom: It was all or not issue, to that time, LTTE were too weakened having lost their men and several other political setbacks from Europe. My hero was and will be that Kadirgamar.. who had the wisdom to get all the powerful men of LTTE banned on the rich soils of the earth. That was the first step under CBK adminsitration led Rajapakshe to harvest on it.

LittleisimonfromBerlin / September 13, 2017
There are various high profile frauds that this Deputy minister had been blocked or made late while he was part of current govt.
Now Investigative auhtorities, your turn to take the action, against this man.
No more delays needed in terms of putting lies against that crime investigation of Ekanaligoda missing. The truth of that to be found out.
Equally, alcohol import was louded as if he was one among that blocked the illegal import, but he was of part of them.. was what we got to read in lanken media.
All these would be good enough to put this man in jail as no come back to politics.
That way one by one we can have almost every culprits of this nature be caught by law.. no doubt about that.

Why on the earth PM to resign ? He has not done a wrong things except appointment made to CB then. But he has agreed to analyse it together with Prez.
And the fact PM and his mission has saved the bums of Rajaakshes and country not getting put the black lists for trade embargos. What blatant lies you have been uttering you worm living in the stomach of Buruwanse ?
All the ballige puthas of your nature would do anything and everything to protect Jarapakshe being NOT put behind bars.
Blood suckers should have long been kept in jails – that reverberates today.
Bond scams will reveal lot more about the high days of Maharaja too. That is no limited to these two years.
Those PT men were condom supporters of Rajapakshe family at the time Rajapkshe looted the country. This and all the bits you will easily get if you could please closely study the archives.

Samuel Jayaweera–
“…Why on the earth PM to resign ? He has not done a wrong things except appointment made to CB then. But ……”
Why do you ask me? You yourself has given the answer.
He breached the Constitution by appointing a non-Sri Lankan as the Governor and used his son-in-law’s company PTL to rob the Central Bank by way of investing in Bonds with the money given to Aloysius from the government institutions (BoC and other) as loans. This is already proved. He should resign.
I don’t support MR and his clan but Ranil has no ethical or legitimate right to investigate other people’s frauds when he himself is a fraud. He should withdraw all the cases filed against the former President and all other bogus cases filed against former Ministers.

No there have been occasions also inthe past non lanken citzen to have been appointed for the same position. Please go back to the history and get your facts right.
Secondly, AM has no whatsoever records in the past to have been abusive in his entire carrier.
Now even I believe, AM is innocient but he is caught by the system there. This is a very complicated issue, much more to come on the gravity of the issue in the days to come.
In today s context, as I heard from FACE TO FACE yestreday, there is lot more de,mocracy under Ranil and My 3.
Please listen to the FACE to FACE this weeks discussion that will remind you how the bugger MR et al governed the country.
All in all, every leader sofar in the country has made mistake knowingly or unknowingly, but MR has abused the nation even going farther to Premadasa stupidities.
Champa you have no ideas for some reasons, may well be possible you are an complicit having eaten punnakku together with that Drama queeen Wimal Burwanse whose rhetories misled the poor in this country.
But Champo, you too have to worry if you would further support those buggers ruining this nation on and on.

Oooops… my last para is incomplete. —-
I don’t support MR and his clan but Ranil has no ethical or legitimate right to investigate other people’s frauds when he himself is a fraudster. He should withdraw all the cases filed against the former President and all other bogus cases filed against former Ministers, if he DOESN’T RESIGN.

President Maithripala Sirisena has sacked without giving any reason, the Deputy Minister of Tourism Promotion and Christian Affairs Arundika Fernando (Puttalam district MP) from his ministerial post with immediate effect.
Will Arundika continue to enjoy the perks and impunity?
Majority of Lankans (the silent majority) rate the overall quality of the Lankan Cabinet as low. Arundika is at the lower end. Sacking him will make no difference to our perception but the reason for the sacking will.
MS is duty bound to divulge this.
This changing sides for a price must stop. The only way is to make this illegal.

The President can sack his Ministers for good reasons,bad reasons or for no reasons; We too can sack the President[ like how we sacked MaRa] but for that we have to hang on for a while!

Seelawathie Jayasinghe / September 13, 2017
Plato, you re dead right. That is why we want Prez to react LET alone today leaving his party politics. We dont want party politics in this any more. We just need a nation that would respect law and order .. and disipline. Then only we can march forward.
Had Prez and PM done their job at the begining, these men calling themselves JO and the opposition would not have marched this far.
They now behave as if they are clean people.
All these are to change the attitudes of the very same people.
People should become wise else, they would again be caught by the thugs before lon. Current DUO too should do lot more to send the message across the nation. Else, they would be seen as nothing is achieved sofar.
Rajapakshes behave today as if the country had been in a good shape as the current duo took it over.
Had MR been in power, they the IC would have imposed trade sanctions against our folks today.
People wake up and see it right LET alone today.

Anurudika sprayed Dr Ranil’s Ayotolla, Whiskey Madam in front of the executive committee of the Yahapalana SLFP………..No wonder Sira had to sack the poor bugger………Dr Ranil’s mate Dr Mahendran who stitched up the EPF, for SIL to make LKR 11 Billion profit in just one calender year is still at the TT with Rosie Akka……….. Sira took nearly 12 months to dislodge Dr Mahendran…………..But couldn’t sack him………..Sira sacked the only Buddhist Minister in the Yahapalanaya , even without giving him a Yellow card…………..Now Kiriella & Co are poised to rob another 10 to 12 Billion LKR from the Central Express Way to Dalada Maligawa……….. Again with the help a Tamil gentleman from the Diaspora ……..Dr Ranil was seen boasting how he single handedly saved LKR 25 Billion by sweet talking to Japanese Govt………..Which is the most corrupt in the first world when it comes to paying Santhosams……..I like to thank that gun journalist from Sirasa , who factually ridiculed Dr Ranil on Prime Time TV in Colombo………. May God Bless Him and protect him from Dr Ranil’s enforcers……..

Did MS has taken any action against Saratah Fonseka by his speech against Security Forces?
Why is that he (Fonseka)make allegation Security Forces that who defeated LTTE Tamil Terrorist?
He should be sack Fonseka by President and Primer ?
Why MS + CBK has is favors for SF?
Why is that MS as President keep blind eye on Sartah Fonseka that public speech ?
Where is collective responsibility of so-called Cabinet norms which violated by Sarath Fonseka?
1 MS, CBK and Ranil Wicka are promoting and encouraging “war crime” against security forces?
2 Sartah Fonseka under protection blanket covered of war mongering Govt. of Ranil Wicka & CBK ?
3 Are there MS and CBK preparing for War Crime against in Geneva Human Rights? 2017 ?
4 Satarh Fonseka will give evidences against Security Forces near future in Geneva Human Rights ?
5 SF speech is voice of helping USA UK and TNA is proxies of Tamil Diasporas?
6 SF is not justification of LTTE terrorism ?
Removed Arundika Fernando is by MS and CBK we have no objections? Be MS has to be fair for everybody?
MS is not that Good and Fair Judge?

Sam Fernando / September 13, 2017
Why should he take actions against SF ? We the right thinking men of this earth, will always support SF for his honesty. He has nothing to hide but Rajapakshes.
It is clear whoever he is, in every field you have wrong DOERs. So is that in Army forces too. So you can not say all army men are crime friendly but Jagath Jayasooriya.
Like wise, not all Medical Professionals are virulent and vicious men as is the case ones lead that GMOA.
Likewise not every lawyer is bad as that former MINISTER of justice Wijedasa
Like wise not every teacher is bad as ones that punish their pupils brutally.
Likewise, policemen that beat everyone thinking that should be the way.
You Adhikari, would never succeed making effort trying to clean every ARMY men, we are indebted to real forces that sacrificiced their lives, but the name of Army, some abuse it to core.
Dont you believe so,then you must notbe a citizen of this country.

Saman Adikari,
First thing first , Get your English Grammar right before commenting on a public forum like CT . you have posted numerous questions with regard to FM Fonseka .foremost , SF must be given the highest honour for giving the leadership in defeating the LTTE menace, period .only hypocrites would disagree with the above assertion. Now , how the do you or for that matter the other political opportunists know whether Jagath Jayasooriya has committed war crimes or not ? FM Fonsekeka is merely accusing him for committing crimes , it doesn’t mean he has committed any crime , why the hell all the political hypocrites and their blind followers jumping up and down alluding that SF has betrayed the country ? All he had said was that he was ready to testify against JJ before a war tribunal , now what’s wrong with that ? If JJ hadn’t committed any crime , he would be able to clear his name easily , isn’t that what we should be hearing ? why all these politically motivated saffron mob declaring war against SF ? hadn’t we been witnessing all these type cheap demonstrations before the UN office in Colombo prior to 2015 ? remember our super duper patriot ” Google Mudiansilage Thunmulle booruwana’s ” fast unto death comical episode ? It seems that same childish acts have begun to recycle again to brain wash our two legged buffaloes , apparently you seem to be one such nincompoop , Saman !

Good Sense / September 13, 2017
All of this guys unacceptable activities are well known. The real question is why this guy was admitted to the present Government and only now sacked. Obviously those at the helm was not necessarily bothered about the cleanliness of the Government and that is why all the undesitables were admitted. The undeserving got a place because of the usefulness. Hence the only reason for the boot is the guy is now a liability. That way I must commend the stand of RW for taking a strong stand in not admitting any defeated candidates.

This fellow said that he met ekneligoda in france.Why is the CID not questioning him and arresting him as an accessory to murder?Now that he is no longer a minister they can do that can’t they.
When he gets 3 years RI gota will visit him and say he just only did what he asked him to do.
Now the public servants have got the message not to carry out illegal orders,but the politicos have not.So it should be done with this arsehole so that it will never happen again.

Gema / September 13, 2017
You can write tons of comments on Arundika Fernando’s ouster from the Y-Pala’s government. The truth however is that he criticized CBK ruthlessly a few days ago, and that its direct outcome is this. This is a clear indication about who governs the country today!

sirisena who has tons of patience will meet even his worst enemy,but that does not mean that he will give into them.There is a bit of steel underneath his calm demeanour.Don’t worry arunthika will not get a ministry now that sira made his decision.Once he decides that’s that though he takes his time to make a decision.
