The Executive Committee of the United Peoples Freedom Alliance (UPFA) has said that they do not recognize Dr. Wiswa Warnapala as the Acting General Secretary of the UPFA.
The EC has also refused to accept a letter sent by Duminda Dissanayake who was appointed as the acting Secretary of the SLFP yesterday by President Maithripala Sirisena.
In his letter Dissanayake has stated that the ousted Susil Premajayanth does not have any powers to give orders or take decisions on behalf of the UPFA while adding that if he does so it would be a violation of the court order given yesterday.
A senior UPFA politician today also questioned why Dissanayake was sending such a letter instead of Warnapala who is supposed to be the acting General Secretary of the UPFA.
Meanwhile a group of UPFA Lawyers had met the Elections Commissioner to voice their protest over the sacking of the General Secretary, today.
A Lawyer said that the group had argived that the removal of a General Secretary of a contesting political party after announcing an election is illegal. However, he refused to comment on the response of the Commissioner in this regards.
This senior Lawyer went on to say that in accordance with the MoU signed by political parties in the UPFA, the removal of the General Secretary is not possible without the consent of the EC.
Also this Lawyer said that according to the UPFA MoU the general Secretary cannot be sacked without filing a charge sheet and also giving adequate time for him to reply to the charges.
He said that the UPFA Lawyers were confident that the Courts would annul the new appointment as soon as it hears a case filed against the removal of Premajayanth.
On Friday, three days ahead of the Parliamentary polls slated for Monday (17 August) the court gave an order removing the general secretaries of the opposition United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) and its main constituent Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP).
Colombo District Court issued enjoining orders preventing UPFA General Secretary Susil Premajayanth and SLFP General Secretary Anura Priyadarshana Yapa from holding their current posts in the respective parties.
Former UPFA MPs Duminda Dissanayake and Dr. Wiswa Warnapala were appointed to function as acting general secretaries of the SLFP and the UPFA respectively.
Colombo District Court issued the orders following two complaints filed by Duminda Dissanayake and Wiswa Warnapala. The enjoining order is valid until August 24.
Meanwhile sources say that the charges against the two secretaries are, engaging in activities which could harm the reputation, wellbeing and progression of the SLFP, engaging in acts which could be harmful to party policies and the leader and conspire with those acting against party policies.

This is the result of clean governance. Should the president follow “Rajapakse Jungle law” to deal with Rajapakse and his crooks” and apply good governance to everyone else? This is needed if the Srilankan Masses still can fall prey to these cronies

Champa / August 16, 2015
Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, as soon as his swearing-in is taken place, should do a favour to Sirisena by appointing a Committee of Constitutional & Legal Experts to COMPLETELY abolish the Executive Presidency within ONE MONTH. It was “Yahapalanaya” government’s and especially Sirisena’s No. 1 slogan to fulfil in 100 days.
We don’t need an Executive President and an Executive Prime Minister for our small country.
Poor taxpayers’ money should not be used to maintain a vision-less, mission-less, useless zero-performance Executive President and his colossal retinue.
As Sirisena himself had admitted in his Speech to the Nation that he wanted Ranil to fire Arjun Mahendran, Srisena should take the direct responsibility for the loss of 7200 Billion to our economy. {COPE Report provides ample evidence}.
(Hey, Anura Kumara and Pa. Cha. Ranawaka, how many highways we could have built in ‘diamond embedded in white gold’ with the money that Ranil robbed?)
While holding the Highest Office of Sri Lanka the Executive Presidency, Sirisena has deliberately avoided taking action against CB Governor and thereby made the country face a huge financial loss. Ranil has trained some competent police officers and formed FCID specifically to inquire into this type of enormous financial fraud. Who says Ranil lacks farsightedness?

RE:SLFP-UPFA Crisis: EC Refuses To Accept Duminda’s Letter; UPFA Refuses To Accept Warnapala
Mahinda Rajapaksa and his cronies are in disarray, fumbling and bumbling.
Through the Grape wine and bulath wine…
Plot to incite racial violence as soon as Maithri –Ranil government is installed – National Intelligence report
Wimal Weerawansa , Udaya Gammanpila, Dinesh Gunawardena , Vasudeva Nanayakkara , Dallas Alahaperuma and Manusha Nanayakkara the discarded dejected accomplices of Alibaba ( chieftain of the crooks) who have no place in the sun unless they cling on to the cursed moth eaten shawl of Mahinda Rajapakse , and surviving on the discarded crumbs falling off the sumptuous dining table of Rajapakses are currently in a deep predicament.
After president Maithripala taking a stern stance and stating in no uncertain terms via a written letter to Mahinda himself that latter will not be granted the prime minister post , this disgruntled and discarded lot had become jittery and panicky. Hence having realized they are headed for inevitable doom and gloom are most craftily planning and plotting to create racial tension and riots , based on national security intelligence division reports .
It is learnt that the aim of this conspiracy is to create bitter resentment and hatred among the Tamil and Muslim minority communities against the newly formed government (which they know is sure going to be a reality) of Maithripala Sirisena and Ranil Wickremesinghe by arousing racial animosities and violence Islandwide . At the same time it is planned to start a series of white Van abductions and murders as was carried out during the Rajapakse era while blaming them on the new government.
With a view to bringing back deposed Mahinda Rajapakse to power by foul or fair means, these most violent vicious activities against the citizens are to be engaged in enlisting the members of the provincial councils and local bodies . A series of secretive and treacherous discussions had been held already towards creating the unlawful environment that will enable them to implement their most diabolic, unconscionable and bloody anti -national plans, according to sources close to Gammanpila and Wimal Weerawansa
Their motive is to build brutal and murderous sentiments among the majority Buddhists resulting in hatred and bitterness against the Tamils and Sinhalese as fast as possible . By painting a false picture that because the UNP has captured power within parliament , the Tamils and Muslims are taking decisions on the fate and destiny of the Majority Buddhists , and by pointing out this situation cannot be allowed to continue, these desperadoes and politically discarded scoundrels are to fan and inflame racial violence . They are to provoke the Buddhists by falsely claiming this disastrous situation must be averted , and the Buddhists should not stand idle and watch it deteriorate further.
This despicable disgraceful task of stoking tension and violence using the Buddhists has been undertaken by Dinesh Gunawardena , Wimal Weerawansa and Udaya Gammanpila , and already this is under way at village level .This traitorous group is hell bent on bringing back Mahinda the devil incarnate without whom , they know fully well they will have no chance of survival when all the most heinous and ruthless crimes committed against the nation get exposed eventually.
Measures have been taken to gather data and information including addresses of Tamils and Muslims at village level using the so called NFF media spokesman Muzammil who has extended this chain of operation already.
It is because president Maithripala has been informed of these diabolic and anti national devastating plans of these scoundrels who fatten on even death and national despair that he had in the conclusive stages of his letter to Mahinda Rajapakse , he warned him to halt his racial hatred and holocausts he is likely to unleash, and to act intelligently with restraint and farsightedness.
It is the consensus among all , even if nitwits and nincompoops, morons and minions, crooked and the corrupt who are a plenty in Mahinda’s den mislead and misguide him to devastate the country, he despite his own weaknesses should not dance to their tunes or become a ventriloquist dummy in their hands , for he cannot forget that he was the president of the country himself ( even though he ruined the country and routed its economy) at one time and held the highest position in the hierarchy until only some months ago.

If The two general secretaries are engaging in activities that would be harming the reputation ,wellbeing and progression of the party . FULL STOP.
So what’s the problem in sacking them from their posts?? The President did put his Party before the Country when he gave into pressure by these two MORONS when he allowed unwillingly accepted MARA ‘s nomination because again he put his Party before the Country .
They were happy when he did that, now they’re unhappy because he thinks they’re harming his Party. AS A PRESIDENT OF THE COUNTRY AND THE LEADER OF THE PARTY HE CAN ACT ACCORDINGLY.
While All these half baked lawyers some of them are LOWYERS ( Get it) busy referring to their books
to see how they can get out of this mess , ITS NOT A MESS AND THEY HAVE NO LEGS TO STAND TO EAT THEIR HALF BAKED CAKE.
Guys only two more days no court of law can reverse this President’s Decision.
In the same sense he thinks these two are destroying the Party with their ideologies which can not only harm the reputation of the Party but can put the country in danger as well .
He is the President of the country have an overall Responsibility as well for a peaceful election without endangering the lives and the REPUTATION of the country too.
IS it so much to lose when it comes to losing the election.

Why all these things are happening ? Majority will agree, it is because of one man MaRa. He wants to become PM at any cost.
If he becomes PM how is he going to work with the popularly elected President on the 8 th January.? Only way he can do that is by undermining or subduing the power of Maithiri ? Then what will happen to all the corruption allegations against MaRa’ s family members and his cronies in the UPFA ? Either all files will be closed or there will be take over of the goverment by the armed forces thus saying saynara to democracy in SL ?
If MaRa is a real statesman, then in the interest of the future of SL he must let some one who can work with Maithiri to become PM. Ideally a national government with honest members is the best way to go forward for SL .
I sincerely hope majority of the Sri Lankans will listen to Ven Sobhita Thero and make the right decisions.

Quite Right! If SLFP had cleaned up the party with the guidance of MS, and got rid of Dinesh, Wasu, Modawansa, & Co., they could have given a good fight to the UNP.

This desperate action suggests how Ranil and Maithri are in disarray after seen the Sri Lankan masses who are patriotic coming behind UPFA engross.
This election will decide the country will break in to pieces as tried by Ranil and Chandrika in the past and 30 years of terrorism by LTTE where it is very clear what Ranil wants in the name of devolution and reconciliation.
Ranil and Chandrika call Terrorist Prabhakaran as Mr. Prabhakaran whereas they call Mahinda Rajapaksha as “Hora”, “Pililaya”, “Murderer” as a respect to annihilate LTTE and stop killing innocent Sri Lankan masses by road side bombs for 30 years.
I am sure Ranil and his gangsters are still in Pamankade whereas Heroic forces have gone to Alimankada, Killinochchi and all the areas to eliminate terrorism from Mother land ably led by none other than Legendary Leader Mahinda Rajapaksha.
As mark of gratitude, Sri Lankan masses will bestow one of the greatest victories to UPFA led by Mahind Rajapasha on the 17th August 2015 in order to continue his great work towards building country where Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims and all other ethnic groups will live very peacefully and harmony.

One of the problems facing Yahapalanaya is the corruption of Judiciary also by Rajapaksha regime. Quite honestly over the 3-years that MR was running the country for the second time, almost irreversible state of corruption had taken place. It may now impossible to change this without completely purging the society, not only at top politicians but through the whole cross section of the society. Corruption is inherent in Sri Lankan blood; when the head of the snake is poisonous, the rest of the body also gets poisonous.
My sincere belief is that, if we cut off the head then the rest would settle down. That is until of course another poisonous head comes back to power. Then all the lemmings will follow his example.

Forget about UPFA/SLFP crisis or tyrant Sirisena. I am telling you, don’t waste your time, loyalists of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa. President Rajapaksa is seeking only people’s mandate that you have already sealed. Leave the rest to him.
Focus on the election. Your vote will decide the fate of our country and the Sinhalese nation.
If you love your country, you can’t be a UNPer or JVPer. Green and Red colours and Elephants and Bells don’t exist, people. If you love your country, the only colour you see is the Blue. The only symbol you see is the Betel Leaf.
This is the most critical and the decisive election in our entire history. The value of your vote is equal to an undivided country and the future existence of a great nation. If you want your lost country back, vote for former President Mahinda Rajapaksa and his alliance UPFA.
Do the justice to your conscience, people.
Do the justice to your country.
Do the justice to your nation.
Do the justice to President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
Do the justice to your children.
Do the justice to our gallant soldiers who sacrificed their eyes, ears, legs and limbs willingly to protect our country.
Do the justice to our valiant fallen soldiers who sacrificed their lives willingly on our behalf in order to save our country.
You have no right to forget, Sinhalese. The air you breath today is blended with the scent of blood, tears, toll and sweat of our valiant soldiers.
Forget about everything. Think about the country and over 40,000 of the lives of our heroic soldiers who sacrificed their precious lives willingly on behalf of Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims in this country.
Forget about politics. You have an unforgettable obligation towards your country to protect this meritorious land on behalf of our brave fallen soldiers. The greatest honour you could do to them is voting for former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, the beloved “Father” of our Nation and the only leader who vowed to honour the dead heroes and look after the living.
Forget about dirty politics. Think about your motherland. Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa is the only leader who treats every citizen in Sri Lanka equally, irrespective of their ethnicity, religion, cast, class or creed. He is giving an unshakable assurance for the future of all Sri Lankans.
Let’s start afresh with former President Mahinda Rajapaksa!
Let’s hold his strong hands to empower the nation!

Sinhalese nation! Yes, I stand by what I said.
Sri Lanka is the only country for Sinhalese nation. We don’t have any other country in the world where Sinhalese language is recognized. We don’t have any other country where Sinhalese culture is uphold. Sinhalese speaking nation is a minority in the world where only 15.2 million is reportedly exists.
As for Tamil nation, there are many countries Tamil language is recognized other than Sri Lanka. There are many countries where Tamils live comfortably, other than in Sri Lanka. There are many countries that Tamil culture is uphold, other than Sri Lanka. Most notably, Tamil nation is considered as a majority nation with 100 million Tamils living all over the world.
From where did you get your training to lie? Same like Ranil from USA? Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa never displayed distorted flags. Don’t lie like Ranil. No taste. That flag is a recognized flag in Sri Lanka which is the first flag of ‘Sinhale’ Kingdom. It doesn’t belong to a terrorist group nor it is banned.
Thajudeen? Man, did you exhume it again after Ranil? As soon as former President Mahinda Rajapaksa denied the allegation forthright in public, the UNP brouhaha to arouse a ‘misplaced suspicion’ died down.
/
Shrikharan / August 17, 2015
Champa you said “That flag is a recognized flag in Sri Lanka which is the first flag of ‘Sinhale’ Kingdom.” However that is not a Sri Lankan national flag. Then Tamils can hold the ‘Elara flag’ as that is a recognized flag of the Elara Kingdom and you have no problem with that.
“President Mahinda Rajapaksa denied the allegation forthright in public”.
He can deny in public and that does not become a truth. Shall we wait for the PM findings? I am fully aware of many murderers have been protected by him and one was a murder of the British citizen in the south and it was after extreme pressure the suspect was arrested. Let us wait till the findings of the Post mortem report becomes available and verdict and hopefully there will not be any obstruction to the official legal process like what happened during Rajapakse’s period.

Ranil is openly supporting the division of the country, you have to be blind not to see that. Maithree is just trying to hold onto his sarong when everything around him is falling apart. this election is not about mahinda, even though everybody else keeps saying otherwise. its about stopping my3 and ranil from making this country into a colony of india. i don’t care if mahinda is a thief or not, he made sure the country stayed whole. you can steal all you want from the country as long as you don’t sell the damn thing like ranil and my3 is trying to do. we’ve been promised many things in the 100 days that followed the elcetion of my3 and its no surprise it was all lies.

It is only who can view all directions take stock of the real situation. The President is responsible to the entire country as the Executive President.More so when the parliament stands dissolved.On the other hand he is responsible to the entire membership of the SLFP as it’s chairman
In keeping with these responsibilities and as a leader who has vouched to uphold good governance he who stands at the top of the mountain can see clearly all round from that position.
Those at the bottom or half way up the mountain can see only a part of the things .
Hence it is wiser for others to watch and wait since we have so far not witnessed any wrong doing by the President.No doubt he is pressurized to take actions both precautionary as well as to stop wrongs.He appears to be cool collected farsighted and having the national interest as a priority.
He cannot allow wanton acts of partisan .He can exercise more powers if the situation so demands. People of this country. Have given him the required mandate to do so.
So EC need not worry so much about this internal affair.
People of this country are mindful of the vested interests shown by power blocks in expressing views about our matters.
Our president knows what is best and how he should act as a free man for the sake ok the country.
Shall we leave him to do so!

Desparate people resort to desperate measures.By this action MY3 has exposed deperate he is.But, unfortunatly for him nothing seem to work for him. The EC has refused to accept his appointee and SLFP/UPFA Executive committes too have refused to accept these appointments.
Next week the supreme court will lift both enjoining orders,one against executive committee meetings of SLFP/UPFA and the other against both secretaries and the next executive committee meeting will remove all the collected garbage out of the UPFA.

IF MS is so good and honest, how come he can afford to keep his in UK for so long ? Maybe the money he earned as a farmer ! His son assaulted an innocent man at a posh hotel and got away because of police security given to the father with him !
How did he appoint his own brother as Chairman of SLT ?After a competitive search for agood man ?
This is like Sarth Fonseka who is against family bandyism. But his own party is led by sarath, his wife and son in law ! We sri lankans must be eating grass !
The same for this man Ranil. Corrupt and evil. But no boday attacks him because he commits crime in english !

Maru Sira lost the plot… He is manipulating the party so that incompetent, no good ranil will past the election test.. Who is he kidding.
I have never seen a such weak man holding presidents chair.
SL lost the great battle to get a clean set of people to govern, if Sira got good people to govern instead of ranil the moron.
Even today, people would have voted for clean set of people minus, ranil, mr., and rest of the old corrupt fools.
