Making a controversial speech at the national Independence Day ceremony at Galle Face Green, President Maithripala Sirisena hit out at the UNP’s motion to form a national government in Parliament while also criticizing his chosen-Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa.
“From what I saw in the media, there is a plan to form a national government with the support of a party that has only one seat in Parliament. It is important to think whether such an act is ethical,” Sirisena said, addressing the ceremony.
“The purpose of such a national government is to increase the number of Cabinet portfolios,” the President added hitting out at the ruling UNP, led by Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe who was also in the audience.
“As there is only one party in the government, a Cabinet of 25 members would be sufficient to run the government,” Sirisena said. He also added that Sri Lanka was struggling with its strategy for IT education while the world was moving towards Digital Economy.
Sirisena also launched a subtle attack on former President Mahinda Rajapaksa when he said he ended “terror” (Bheeshanaya) in the country after January 2015. “However, we could not eliminate corruption as promised. We need to see how many of our politicians have a genuine need to eliminate bribery and corruption.”
Sirisena, in another attack on the former President, also said the country should be saved from nepotism and family-centric practices.
Rajapaksa was also in the audience when Sirisena made his Independence Day speech – the last one in his current term. It was, however, Rajapaksa’s first national Independence Day ceremony after he fell out of power in January 2015.
President of the Maldives Mohamed Ibrahim Solih was the Guest of Honour at Sri Lanka’s Independence Day ceremony this year.
Former Army Commander Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka was the notable absentee at the event. Fonseka said he was only invited as a ruling party MP for the event, and not as the only Field Marshal in the country. Fonseka told the media that he would not attend the ceremony if the government did not give due respect to his military title.
Meanwhile, Colombo Telegraph also found out Sirisena has not published his full speech on his official website as at 2.30 PM (SL time) on Monday ( February 04). The President delivered the Independence Day speech around 9 AM in the morning.

Where would we the folk have been today ?: Surely we could have achieved a lot….

– legal authorities could punish all the alleged money launders
– legal authorities could punishtsunami embezzelers
-legal authorities could punish murderers and multiple crime doers
§ Lasantha W murder, Ekanaligoda abduction/allegeed murder, Thadjudeen broaddaylight murder
-legal authorities could punish GOTABA the mastermind of all high crimes and put him in jail
-legal authorities could punish Rajapakshes to have BOND bank scammed over 990 BILLION of ruees since 2008
– legal authorities could punish the killers of all other 40 or more journalists allgedly gunned down during RAJAPAKSHE regime
– legal authorities could punish those who killed over 23 unarmed prisoners
-legal authorities could punish those former MINISTERs who grabed all the funds from the state becoming weathy – Mahindananada, Rohitha, Jonsten and the like most abusive ministers

.
Rajapakshe never stood on the way of Eaalama builders. There are enough evidence to prove that collectivity succeeded the elemination of terror and how Rajaakshes were also shrewd politicians when it went to fill up their pockets and abuse the easy targets to the core.
:
If Rajapakshes were that WHOLE hearted with national issues, they could bring all the needful amenments during his 2 nd term. There he had 2/3 majority in the parliament, what was not seen impossible them to do if straight forward decisions were on their tables. UNP and other opposition forces were not powerful as is the case today. That alone proved to the world, thar Rajakshes are selfish idiots and they would just play with their power struggles, while the rank-and file let fall frying pan to the hearth.
:
Today, it is becoming clearer, the way Rajakashes have been pulling the leg of STUPID sillysena, not allowing the stupid man to tame with any good moves.
Like a donkey would behaves, he makes him a laughter stock to the entire human world.
:
Europeans and those who forsee questions, if WHOLEHEARTED ness is there, what stand on the way lanken LEADER not to do the right thing. one single right thing…If Sillysena opens his mouth, not a single word would become credible to the masses today. He is seen as a clown, whose last days are numbered.
People s grivances stay untouched. This man shitsena should not hold his position any single hour furhter. He is a the most incapable person in lanken politics. I wonder how would the bugger be spending his last days before the very same nation.

Also so that US military bases may be set up and weapons brought into Lanka without customs checks. Maybe nuclear weapons too.

Hate is the path Don Stephen showed to Lanakwe in 1948. Unless the date of 1948 is changed, hate is the one to flourish in Lanakwe.
By establishing Singapore – Malasiya is the way the new date of 1948 can be created. That is the time Sinhalese Tamil, Muslim and other ethnicities can start to mind their own business.
/
Bodin / February 5, 2019
Mallaiyuran says “Hate is the path Don Stephen showed to Lanakwe in 1948”.
Dead wrong. Although the country had about 12% Tamils, DS gave over 30% of the Cabinet Posts, and over 40% of the Top Adminsitrative sopts to the Tamils. Even the Galoya board was given to Kanagasundaram, and other Tamils to run, where as no Muslims were included in the Galoya area (predominantly Muslim, thanks to King Senerath).
Deceit compounded with Terror in the end is the path chosen by SJVChelva (an immigrant Christian baptised in the church of South India) when he formed the ITAK (Tamil Kingdom Party) and called it the “Federal Party in English”, and claimed the GGPonnambalam was a “Traitor” to the Tami cause. This method of naming traitors was carried out to great length by the ITAK and the TULF, and finally Prabhakaran decided that Amirthalaingam himself was a traitor and killed him. The hate started by SJV consumed and killed more Tamils than what DutuGamunu and all the State Forces of the GOSL ecer killed. (See DBS Jeyaraj’s column
http://federalidea.com/focus/archives/201 )
So, who started hate in this country.
Answer: Racist Malabar Tamils zealots.
/
Mallaiyuran / February 5, 2019
I don’t have to read Dubious essays. If had read it what is the reason he was giving DS refusing to attend Soulbury commission? Nothing hatred in that? Tamils were 25 % and got no ministry in State Council. With their Merit Based appoints that time, Britain appointed more than 40% of the Tamils in the goverment jobs. On the merit based hiring they brought TN Tamils to work in Estate. LSSP wanted more human treatment to Tamil workers. LSSP refused to corporate disenfranchise the Tamil workers. The arch enemy of LSSP, DS put his foundation to destroyed LSSP too.(But it was Sirima who finished that job). Then what is reason Dubious has given for SWRD asking Federalism in 1920? Has he explained SWRD’s selection of Federalism ended in JVP terrorism? Is that DS allowed Tamil parties have 1/4 of the ministries or appointed Karunas, Devas, Thiyagarajas, Duraiappas, GGs, Suntharalingams as ministers?
Jaffnahistory.com takes its history from HLDM. Thero copy his history from jaffnahistory.com. Michel Robert copy it from Thero. Dubious copy it from him. Now you have become the last in the pyramid.

The root cause for all the problems in this country is what Sinhalayo call ‘Wal Booru Nidahasa’ (jackass freedom) people got from the democratic system imposed on us by British.Through that system they deliberately laid the groundwork for conflicts among ethnic groups. It happened as they planned.
Go to hell with democracy. Now the country needs an Iron Man/Woman to take the ‘Wal Booruwas’ who are pulling the country in different directions into the right track. We need a strong Government that gives top priority to economic development, create job opportunities and reduce poverty and not a Government that gives top priority to a non-existing ethnic problem fabricated by Vellalar politicians for their survival.

Not jackass freedom, but the people themselves should be responsible for our own problems. Yet today, they cant think out of their boxes. You are the best example for our elderly ones ( not just SINHALAYA BUT ALSO TAMILS AND MUSLIMS AND OTHER MINORITY FOLKS), that would never change their thinking patterns. No matter facts would lie aside or younger generations make every efforts to change your thinking, you guys would stay hung on to your stereotypical thinking. I know this very well also when thinking about my parents and paternal relatives.

Not young generations, but you guys are the ones suffer from SUPERIORITY complex. You guys want to be deified by minority srilankens. That is unfair I think. We are all srilankens, regardless of our race, religion and other difference.

Western countries have so many ethnic groups. Tamils, muslims and christians(or Catholics) are all over the world.How Many countries have ethnic group specific programas including acknowledgement of them MS needs to stop that too. Ranil already have about 70 ministers includind the Hew hirings. UNP is only 52 members. How many he wants 120 ministers. I think the previous yahapalanaya had about 150 ministers. MS did not talk about that every MP who did not pass O/L is an ADdekshana minister . That is theft from the public. where in the world, politicians are provided minister posts this way. It looks it is legalized theft from public. Every minister gets building contracts and many other ways of money to build when they do not reprsent any electorates.
Many things Ranil does looks like he is doing in a Spell and he simply doe snot care the voters or the public and just the way Mahinda Rajapakse did cheat the public.
I am very suspicious Ranil is working on foreign agenda and that is why PENTHOUSE RAVI like people can not be removed.

As the president is not powerful in controlling the parliament., Abolish the EP and establish an EXECUTIVE PRIME MINISTER ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE AND NOT ONE ELECTED by the PARLIAMENT. Ranil or any very ambitious PM is not even elected by the party. Instead he goes against the president who should answer to the voters or the country. HE is there because of the AUTOCRATIC PARTY CONSTITUTION. PM is elected by an electoral district (A crooked way) and there after by the party and his BOUGHT OUT NATIONAL GOVT which gives him the highest number of supportive MPs and is not answerable to the country, has only 42 seats. So the speaker is answerable to him or to the International community. The present silly parliament should be because of two prominent politicians, Ranil and Mahinda Rajapakse both of whom are very ambitious for their advantage and are destructive to the country. Because, if the Speaker was UPFA it would have been another attempt to topple the govt.

Mahinda Rajapakse lied to the whole country that voted to him.

Maithripala is not like those two. At least now he has to be honest with the Country which voted to him. JVP lost big time..

I just read the following on DBSJeyaraj.com.
“Sarojini Charles Was Removed From Customs Director -General Post by the Govt Because She Tried To Conduct Fresh Inquiry Into Falsified Invoice Fraud in Importing 1675 BMW Vehicles Alleges Lawyer Nagananda Kodituwakku.”
(This is just one among other day time robberies concocted by UNP bigwigs). The loss for the poor tax payer is US$35000.00 per vehicle which in Sri Lankan currency comes to Rs 6,475,000.00 per one BMW.
Multiply 6.5 million by 1675 = 10,887.5. That mean Rs 11 billion. Not bad Mr. Mangala Samaraweera and Mr. Ranil! (It appears that Mangala trying to beat RaviK’s record before the next parliamentary elections).
Please remember that this loss is in addition to the loss incurred by the on-going strike at Customs which costs us Rs. 3 billion in revenue every day.
CT reader may say: Aiyo, poor tax payer’s money!
But the UNP bigwigs say: Go to hell! We want to make as much money as possible within this short period!! (means before the next elections)!!!
I would like to ask:
Where is the President’s blunt sword? You cannot slice even a water melon with that blunt piece of iron!

RELATED TO WHAT RAJ SAYS; As soon as RANIL Came he had an economic Plan. HE said as in some Latin american countries, he would start charging huge TAXES from HEAVY EARNERs. that is people over a certain income Bracket would pay large taxes. Some how that did not happen. Instead, Ranil went and met one Belgium living american who is filthy rich. A Banker whop provides loans to third world countries,A Harward’s Economic cum business team came. PENT HOUSE reported to Washington etc., etc., Some one exposed the CENTRAL BANK bond scam. Since then things went very wrong. PENT HOUSE RAVI Gave a RS 500 million Discount to imported cars. Now, Mangala Says he can give a tax break to poor only after 2020, once they win the next govt. But what will happen, Ranil has already told that GOSL has to pay largest DEBT installment in 2020 and that is $ 5 billion. Then at that time WE may have to go through AUSTERITY MEASURES to tighten the belts. That is what will happen to the Tax break. what is going on with them. Stupid Mr wanted to make rich his family. Now he is struggling and talking BS.

Please don’t try to concoct stories that even CT could not reveal in 2015, 16, 17, or 18! You and your Yahapalan gang made filthy rich money and you just talk about one or two and try to justify them.
I took just one example in my previous comment and that’s just one of the tons of small, medium, big, and super big robberies. You just mention about the Central Bank robbery! I saw a forensic auditor explaining the loss and it will be in trillions over a 30 year period. Look what happened to the $vsRs, and already we have paid several billions extra due to CB scam. And the part is that this government keeps borrowing while robbing every cent that belongs to the country!
Where is the end? You may live a luxury life in a foreign country, but what happens to the 22 million people in Sri Lanka? Think about them without being selfish! Learn to call a spade a spade without fear!
When I ask, “where are you going” you say: “Malle pol” (in my sac, I have coconuts)!
/
JD / February 5, 2019
RAJ: What is the concocted story ? Ranil brought a Proposal saying that He would ask PENTHOUSE RAVI to include heavy taxes to Billionaire club in Sri lanka. Instead they gave tax breaks to them Via VAT Taxes and Big discounts for importing Ship loads of Cars. Even the present friction between MANGALA and CUSTOM DG CHARLES is about giving humongous discounts to Multinational company importing Carcinogenic (according to they themselves) Karunka like products. why did they cut PUWAK trees first in Srilanka. Don’t BS unless you are in the cheering squad for Butterflies.

There are only “Two Hundred & Twenty Five” “People” who are celebrating the 71st “Independence” in Sri Lanka. The rest of the PEOPLE are slogging to eke out a simple life while those “225” led by their “Leaders” have made a class of “SLAVES” to serve those “Leaders” for generations to come. These “SLAVES” without a murmur have been made to accept a “DEBT LOAD” of Rs 400,000.00 or MORE (approximately) per person, all that “IMPOSED” upon them by their own “Slave Masters” who are pompously received with all gestures of “HONORS” from the Armed Forces and to be “Blessed” with the recital of “Jaya Mangala Geetha”. The “DAY” that these “Slaves” realize the imposed slavery on them and break the shackles will be the REAL and MEANINGFUL “INDEPENDENCE” celebration the whole country will enjoy, but “MINUS” those “Slave Masters” who are today pompously accommodated in that “Pavilion” .

{“Sirisena also launched a subtle attack on former President Mahinda Rajapaksa when he said he ended “terror” (Bheeshanaya) in the country after January 2015”}
MS is tacitly admitting that ‘terror’ was used by the pre-January 2015 government. MS must not forget that he was part of that government!
The post-January 2015 GoSL dismantled the WhiteVans and freed up the media. This contained the state-terror.
.
Then he goes on to say that he could not end corruption.
Did he really try to end the pandemic corruption?

That Aiyo Sirisena is not PRESIDENTIAL material is manifestly clear. IS THE NATIONAL DAY an occasion to commemorate self rule though of NO WORTH or an occasion to talk of cheap politics.
What a shame we had a vain thug and now a joker grama sevaka

The issue of “National govt.” rise by President was perfectly correct stand ,on 4th of February 2019 there is no need for” New National Govt.” led by UNP of Ranil Wicks man has No Majority in Parliament 2015 August since Parliament election.
The recent verdicts of Judiciary of SC judges has misled whole world that UNP having majority is myth of judiciary . Indeed President rule of dissolution of Parliament was right decision by MS.
MS was looking for Parliament majority members of house at that time. We have to fair for President decision on dissolution of Parliament by dismissed UNP of RW from the power in govt.
Needless to say that is why President comment on Independent day 4th of February, he state was revealed that UNP has lost majority in house not that practices of democracy of Lanka ?
Yes President has accountability of Democracy of Island, because was elected by 6.2 millions voters of Island-wide . In fact Judiciary of SC Judges are Not that Responsibility or Accountability of majority of Parliament, while that their judgement was against norms and principles of democracy of our nation.
Ours democracy has upside down by UNP of RW, CBK of Fededliasm, JVP and TNA of extremism of Separatism are evils of nation democracy .
