Roman Catholic Bishop of Galle – Most Rev. Raymond Wickramasinghe issuing an urgent clarification last Monday (11) countered a claim by President Maithripala Sirisena that he made a request for the presidential pardoning of Royal Park murder convict Jude Shramantha Anthony Jayamaha adding that the Bishop had at no instance made such a request.
Jude Shramantha Anthony Jayamaha
The Bishop also stated that “inconvenience and blemish” had been caused to the “Catholic Church and personally to me as the Bishop of Galle” and therefore requested that a correction be issued immediately.
HERE IS THE FULL TEXT OF THE STATEMENT ISSUED BY BISHOP OF GALLE:
To everyone’s knowledge.
In the statement issued by the Presidential Media Division which states that religious leaders, civil society activists and various organizations together appealed for a presidential pardon be granted to the Royal Park murder convict Jude Shramantha Anthony Jayamaha, it is stated that I too made a written request for a presidential pardon.
However, I clearly state that I have made no appeal whatsoever to His Excellency the President or to the judiciary with regards to the convict mentioned above. I state that I have not done any study of the case mentioned herewith and also declare that the convict is not personally known to me.
However, a few years ago the venerable Maha Sangha and civil society activists requested me to make a written request to His Excellency the President urging him that rehabilitation and proper education in a better environment be made available to prisoners, especially youth detainees. I have done that and whenever necessary, in the future, I also hope to intervene fairly and equitably for detainees.
I express my strongest displeasure over the undue exaggeration of our common request at this time. I hope the authorities which issued this press release will assume responsibility for the inconvenience and blemish caused to the Catholic Church and personally to me as the Bishop of Galle and issue a correction immediately.

Whom are they trying to mislead with such wrong informations. It hurts seriously the genuine people when they are misquoted to mislead public.

D. P. / November 12, 2019
Dcn,
I didn’t know anything about MY 3 when his name was tossed as the Prez candidate; I just trusted choice of those who selected him. It took me about one year to understand that he is just another fox who stuck the head in a bowl of paint – another cheap politician who made a career thanks to having a “deep throat” and emotionless face. He knows how to manipulate both to the fullest extent. Cheap lies are common to majority of SL politicians and therefore, nobody bothers to verify them – particularly during elections. But, when he was put on President’s chair, he couldn’t any longer run his mouth loose; instead he has to walk the talk. That is when people began to realize how inconsistent his words and deeds are. If MY 3 can rebuild his political career again, it is only b’cos majority of voters don’t analyse their politicians with a critical mind.

D.P. – When this moron was Minister of Health under Medamulana Meeharaka Percy Mahendra Rajafucksha, MaithriBALA Sillysena imported BALA drugs thereby jeopardising the health of the people of Sorry Lanka. He should have been taken to task and given the “appropriate” treatment. Since Rajaballa was entitled to a percentage, Sillysena went scot-free Time is ticking but will our grass-eating voters understand?.

Mike,
MY 3 didn’t know anything about drugs or import business. Those days, it was GMOA which control the ministry of health, not the minister. GMOA shared the commissions with MaRa who used the money for elections he held annually.

Spring Koha / November 12, 2019
Let the Roman Catholic Bishop of Galle rest assured. Your declaration will be accepted unreservedly. President Sirisena (who once upon a time was our great hope to restore good governance and the rule of law in our sunny tropical paradise) has proved himself to be unworthy of high office. His one-term presidential stint has proved a complete flop, and worse he has allowed his PMD to manufacture facts to suit his devious misguided purposes. His pardoning of Gnanasara and now Jayamaha has proved that the man has no idea of the principles that govern a Presidential pardon. The sooner he vacates office, the better.
/
Sinhala_Man / November 12, 2019
Dear Spring Koha,
.
I have looked at what the Presidential Media Division has said. Quite a lot, but by the time that you look at it, it may have changed again:
.
http://www.pmdnews.lk/%e0%b6%b8%e0%b7%8f%e0%b6%b0%e0%b7%8a%e2%80%8d%e0%b6%ba-%e0%b6%b1%e0%b7%92%e0%b7%80%e0%b7%9a%e0%b6%af%e0%b6%b1%e0%b6%ba-11/
.
There’s no mention of any intervention by Most Rev. Raymond Wickramasinghe. It must have been there; now removed. At this moment, these words are there: “Ven Athraliye Rathana Thero, Member of Parliament, played a key role . . . ” and much more. Two paragraphs on that Rathana intervention.
.
The Catholic Bishop is mentioned here, as I write:
.
http://www.adaderana.lk/news/58896/pmd-issues-clarification-on-presidential-pardon-for-royal-park-murder-convict
.
Also, mention of Ven. Baddegama Samitha, the first monk to enter Parliament (from the LSSP ), a man very committed to Sinhalese-Tamil reconcilliation:
.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baddegama_Samitha_Thero
.
Wikipedia doesn’t mention the reason for Samitha having to leave Kelaniya University, but it is known to persons of my generation that he actually killed a man – one of Cyril Mathews thugs who had entered the University. Vasudeva Nanayakkara (still with us, so you can check) and Colvin R. de Silva got Samitha acquitted. I’m not condoning the killing, but I can understand Samitha’s mixed feelings. Samitha is truly great man.
.
This Bishop’s statement is spot on. Perfect in length and in the outlook it projects. I don’t always say that about clergy. For instance, Cardinal Ranjith is the man who voiced support for the Death Penalty when My3 decided that it would be popular, and now Sajith approves it, for the same reason.

Good. That link that I’ve given to the “Presidential Media Division” still works, six hours after I gave you that link.
.
The blog has not been interfered with. The Ada Derana link also works, and that is where the Bishop of Galle is still mentioned.
.
The third, and last, link, you may find most interesting for other reasons. Now, what could those be? well, find out and ponder upon how corruption is found in the most unexpected places, but nobody does anything about it.
.
This is our problem. Unless we can get some political mileage out of these things, we rarely bother with following up. This is a challenge to all readers! Follow up.
.
/
Sinhala_Man / November 15, 2019
These Jayamahas appear to be Roman Catholic Christians. Yet most of the pleading on his behalf hs been by Buddhist monks.
.
I’ve already told you quite a bit about Baddegama Samitha. Well, he’s one of the four (or is it five) monks on this Youtube:
.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q37mmxSkLo4
.
Warning! That is more than two hours of video. None of us can possibly find the time to study all this! Well, I’ve seen more than half of this. All these monks, I would categorise as being among the better ones.
.
Samitha sounds old, but still applies eminent common sense. He’s occasionally taken by surprise about some things reported to him. He admits that he has not heard these things. Moves on from there. Never really keeps us guessing as to what his views are.
.
Reader, if you’re one of those who feel that monks should not be allowed to come into politics, I think you should see this.

Will you please seek the good offices of
MP Athuraliye Rathana and Dr Keradewala Punnarathana Nayake
to release those who were kept in detention indefinitely without any charges being made against them following the Guantanamo precedent, some of them have been there for more than 20 years.
–
If a convicted murderer can be pardoned and go free so should the innocent detainees.
–
Just after the October 2018 coup Namal Baby promised to visit those detainees the next morning. I haven’t seen any media reporting his kind action. He promised the world he was going to get his Pappa Rajapaksa to get them released. Nothing happened so far. Do you know why?

Good question.
I thought releasing that Lot was one of the 13 Ds , which your fav Candidate singed off with Sivajilingam and Sampathar.

–
TNA are smart unlike that dumb ass Dentist ,who bought in two of Pira’s Boys with
False Beards and Fake Ran Bans to stop the Nandaseana Wave..
–
My intelligence sources in the North say our Tamil brethren there are not 100% TNA this time, after the ex Vellala CM put the spanner in both TNA and UNP works.
–
Finally I saw the last Minute call from your beloved GTF to rally the local agents to help lift Keselwatta Kid over the Line.
Their ” Call” this time even goes out to our Tamil bros in the South.
–
What a stirring set of pleas to not allow Nandasena to become the President.
–
GTF says a vote for Keselwatta Kid is a vote for Dr Ranil, to grant the TNA all the promises which Dr Ranil made in 2015.
–
Plus the 13 Ds which Keselwatta Kid himself agreed to get the backing of Sivajilingam..
–
But no mention of any big Bux as a reward unlike last time.
Wonder what happened. Has Suren Suredran retired?..

It was bad enough when it happened and the sister, in particular, must have had a terrible time getting over a sense of her own (imagined) responsibility. She was this fellow’s girl-friend. We should read about this, to inform ourselves of how bad it was.
.
That Johansson (I hope I got the name right) family must be allowed to forget those horrors. So must the parents of the young LTTE cadres who died in an unnecessary war. And Khurrham Shaikh’s family.

We, Sinhalese, claim that the country “belongs” to us, and to nobody else. We can’t have it both ways. We must hold ourselves responsible. Things are getting so bad here that soon the World will think it best to drop a nuclear bomb on us and wipe out our entire population.
.
Remember Haiti? No, I don’t mean what our “Ranaviruvas” did there. Long before that, I had to study the novels of Graham Greene. He had set one of them in Haiti – “The Guerellas”, I think. Can’t check everything! These Rajapaksas resemble the Duvalier family. I know that it is Sirisena whom we are discussing at the moment, but I hope that you can make the necessary connections. Read carefully the history of the first black country to receive independence, much more than 200 years ago. William Wordsworth wrote a poem about its founder – celebrating the event.

This constant approval from Buddhist clergy, for Sinhala Buddhist votes, have made our politicians become racists, and prevented them from putting the country first.

Well well well atleast now openly either with a pseudonym or real name the Sinhala majority is realising the cycle of truth. The truth is accepting the minority as your own brethren ( like it used to be ) look out for their welfare too, include them to support and build this shattered nation which is burning to cinders due to hate , jealousy , and the Sinhala supremacy.
Our country have nothing to be proud of . Requests the swollen headed
Sinhale racists atleast ( not all) think first what is best for this country and its future!
Enough of this political game by using Buddhist Religion and its yellow robed racist clowns who are so narrow minded as they only sing for their own survival.
Even to the extent of releasing the hard core murderers from prison.
Unbelievable this 2500 year old Buddhism and the Lord Buddha’s Philosophy has been murdered by the present day religious leaders and the racist politicians.

whenever I have read your articles, in my minds eye I have always pictured you as an old witch type with wrinkles, sunken eyes, and one foot in the grave, however to my greatest surprise I saw your picture attached to an article you had written in 2018 on CT and lo and behold you are nothing like what I imagined.
Now here is the interesting part, having your beauty I would have expected you to be a kind, enlightened and liberated person who sees the world in a positive way.
Perhaps you are a witch inside because each time you choose to support the idiots, murderers, scum, racist, buddhist extremists (eventhough you clearly are not a buddhist or a buddhist fanatic) and the antisocial elements in general.
Now I know Einstein said what is beauty when the brain is empty!
So my question is, are you actually having a void between your ears or are you paid to write the garbage you write. Or do you do it out of fear? Or perhaps in someway related to the scumbag family and you are expected to exercise your English skills to patronize the bastards.
I suggest you take a moment, sit back and listen to your conscience and write what will make life better for everyone in Sri Lanka.

Good Sense / November 13, 2019
A pardon granted for genuine circumstances is acceptable. Sometimes it is based on one’s birthdays. Way back in the 1950’s the virtual head of state, the Governor General, was Sir Oliver Gunatilake. HE pardoned one man who was to be hanged commuting the sentence to life imprisonment because the date of the execution happened to be Sir Oliver’s birthday. Many others were pardoned for various offences as was the custom at that time on that instance. But the co-accused in the same murder case was hanged by the neck until he died. As to whether the respected Bishop’s name was included in the list of persons who intervened as provided by the Media unit is one thing. The fact of the matter is that the same unit claims many others having intervened and they have not denied. So it is clear that just as much as many opposed the convict’s release from jail there are others who were for it. What concerns me as a citizen is whether big money was involved in in harnessing the support of the release as per information laid before me and the opposition to the release too is based on considerations that they did not get the good millions. We know the erratic, incredible behaviour of MY3 being a disgrace to the office he holds. But he was good enough for the people in 2015 Jan 8 to get a majority to become the President and that includes myself who did not perform a due diligence. What becomes despicable too is whether the fellows who are leading citizens of this country now opposing, do so for the loss of opportunity to get good bucks.
