Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) has today stated the Muslim community in Sri Lanka should not hold any reservations in voting in support of the Rajapaksa regime, claiming it is the Muslims who have been benefitted the most since this government was elected into power.
BBS Gnanasara
“Many have accused the BBS and its activities as the reason behind the loss of votes for the government at the Uva Provincial polls. It is an unfair accusation – what is it that this government has not done for the Muslims?,” BBS General Secretary Galagoda Atte Ganasara had questioned while adding that handing over extremely important portfolios such as the Justice Ministry and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to two Muslims itself has spoken for the current government’s affiliation with the Muslims.
Meanwhile, the BBS had warned potential candidates at the upcoming elections to stop themselves from expecting the votes of Sinhala Buddhists in their favour unless they are ready to make a strong pledge to implement the six bills introduced for the protection and preservation of Buddhism that have remained unimplemented for over a decade.
“Even though we admit that those bills alone are not enough, their implementation would ensure a certain protection for Buddhism from the widespread conversions and other attacks that are being launched against Buddhism and Buddhists,” Gnanasara has stated while urging the government to take immediate measures to implement the six bills including the Temple and Devala lands draft bill.
Despite calls by the BBS, it is doubtful as to whether the Rajapaksa regime is interested in implementing these bills. Colombo Telegraph in 2012 published a leaked US diplomatic cable from 2005 that referred to a meeting between Mahinda Rajapaksa who was the Prime Minister and then US Ambassador where PM Rajapaksa had assured that the anti-conversion bill is dead and that he had informed the Jathika Hela Urumaya to ‘to forget about it’.

Politicians doesn’t represent a community, lately I saw many politicians cannot represent themselves even! Ethnicity and faith is not a reason for voting someone. One should vote if he believes and agrees on a party’s outlook about pressing events and plans for development. IMO political parties know minority votes won’t be able to render any dramatic difference, so they are playing safe. For me I do not contain myself to any race or religion, but deeply saddened by the chain of events unfolding in the country :(

Thissaffron robed disguised man has no right to explain these things. He has done all crimes diving all peace if we had that to some extent in the predominantly buddhist srilanka.
Today, I myself as a born buddhist feel, not even to to offer alms to village monks and I thought to go on giving rather to poor of the poor living either in homes for the aged or children.
We must not be guided by idiots like Ghanasara – whose testesterone and aggressive hormones have gone up by the guidance of Gotabayata nations executionist of today s srilanka.

Yes Sirimal you are dead right. All right thinking ones are clear that this man is similar to IBOLA virus. But the rulers to stay mum is the question that the west raise today.
These aggressive man Ghanasara has destroyed our buddhist culture, we enjoyed for such a long time. He may be a caricature akin to that of Ambalangoda since Gotabaya the megalomaniac is behind the scene.

The cat is coming out. The MaRa Strategy of using Muslims as scapegoat to get decent Sinhala Buddhist votes and saying BBS is for Buddhism, thereby destroying Buddhism, is not working, for the MaRa deception strategy. The net result was that MaRa lost decent Sinhala Buddhist Votes in addition to losing the Muslim Votes.
It is high time the decent Sinhala Buddhist and all the Citizens put an end to the Rajapaksa Dynasty and move on.
Who says ALL Sinhala Buddhists are Modayas, Fools? Some may be, but not All.
Are the Rajapaksas lobbying with the Pope?
Rajapaksa. Just like All the Other Paras, He is also from India,,who came to Lanka the land of native Veddah Aethho. However, he wants to discriminate against the other Paras, Tamil-Paras and Muslim-Paras…. Rajapakse Ancestry: Rajapaksa’s are born Catholics of Malaccan origin..!
http://lankaenews.com/news/96
Lanka-e-News -27.Oct.2014, 10.00PM) Rajapaksa is a ‘name’ that the British Raj gave to people that did a good job in Negombo/ Seeduwa area, close to Katunayake.

They should have introduced an Anti-Conversion Bill, when the Paras came from India and Converted to Buddhism and Hinduism 2 to 3,000 years ago.

Yeah my ass you dont have to call tenders beucase they are given to their family or close associates and n turn bribe who they recieve who is the rapassas and its close associates. Only thing they did is roads with robing heavy illegal commissions. If they come in to power illegally (no third term cuz incumbent was sworn beofre the 13th amendment) thats is end of democracy. Our sri lankans are so stupid they are the number 1 greedy thieves in the whole world. Few who are educated evolved are living a quite life. THUGS AND CROOKS ARE openly robbing.

Rajapakse Ancestry: Rajapaksa’s are born Catholics of Malaccan origin..!
http://lankaenews.com/news/96
(Lanka-e-News -27.Oct.2014, 10.00PM) Rajapaksa is a ‘name’ that the British Raj gave to people that did a good job in Negombo/ Seeduwa area, close to Katunayake.
The same way the British did, give fancy names to people in the Hill country and South, that did a good job!
Rajapaksa’s are born Catholics of Malaccan origin (this explains the strong ‘gob looking’ Mongoloid phenotype features in all of them).
His father’s name was Don Alwin Rajapaksa. His son (the President now) is Percy Mahinda. They ‘converted’ their Religious belief’s to gain Political mileage.
This was no different to SWRD and JRJ, who were all from strict Christian backgrounds and converted to exhibit Sinhala Buddhist Extremism to gain Public Popularity. (Goes to show the basic insincerity and the manipulative methods used to gain power!)
The Rajapaksa family is now one of Sri Lanka’s most powerful families in the land.
Led by President Mahinda Percy Rajapaksa, all his ‘kith and kin’ now occupy senior positions in the Sri Lankan state.
The family controls around 70% of the national budget.
The Rajapaksa family, originally from Seeduwa/ Negombo later migrated with their Malaccan Catholic ancestors to the villages of Sippukulam and Giruwapattuwa in the southern district of Hampanthottam (now known as Hambantota).
Their Malaccan relatives were banished by Islamic Rulers of Malacca for helping the Portuguese conquest of Malacca.
They were feared, and known for their brutality and ruthlessness.((nothing seems to have changed!)
The Malaccan family forcibly possessed fertile paddy fields and coconut lands belonging to natives, (nothing seems to have changed!) by enforcing their brutality through rape and murder.(nothing has changed!)
Some of the residum of the Malaccan Catholic relatives remain in the Seeduwa/ Negombo area, such as the Lansa Family (no relation of Mario Lansa??!!) of Negombo who are cousins of the Rajapaksa’s. read on using the link..

You are right, Gandasara.
Muslims see no reason why they shouldn’t vote for MARA the racist, who has unleashed the BBS dogs on minorities.
Let me list down why Muslims should vote for MARA.
1. For protecting their places of worship.
2. For safeguarding their religious rites.
3. For praising the holy book of Muslims, the prophet and the Creator.
4. For protecting the Muslims from racial hatred and causing disharmony.
5. For protecting the Muslim business establishments from arsonists and thugs.
6. Last but not the least, for giving police protection to helpless unarmed women and children from the marauding murderers of the Balu Sena Goons.
I am sure every Muslim should V.O.T.E for MARA the protector of minorities including the Tamils and Christians as well.
Please count in my vote also, that makes five million one. Did I hear it right Gandasara, you said, already you have five million Sinhalese votes in your vote bank?

Ansar, please dont get any thing coming from this man s mouth pieces. He is a just a thug – but in safron robes. We perfectly know that the harm made by his aggression to this nation with the DIRECT mediation of MR#S BROTHER who would do anything on his agenda to bear the winning charactor. I have no doubt, he would even kill his wife and sons if his thoughts and minds force him to achieve somthing over the deabodies. That is the nature of Gotabaya. No secret the man behave in election days, by involving Gommapiala stages and telling something from their ways… prevaricating anyone who would cross question him. That is their nature. How can you even expect them to be civilized if they have not been learnt to do so. Lived long in the US means nothing if he only worked as a petrol shed operator or the assistant…. it is the power greediness writen in their gene codes brought this nation to this deteriorating levels to this day.
The man MR himself trust to leave this kind of things on his public stages
” why not I can NOT 3rd time ” ” I have made it … pointing at his grown up own children”: Not even street mongers would trust to express this but his did. It is all to attacked children less people, childrenless RW ? Can he win the hearts and minds of the people by behaving so ? This man is not wortheven to give lead to Cattle i WOULD say. It was not EXCULISIVELY his leadership caused the final millitary win against LTTERs but ltters themselves were marginalized to that time. And it was like a relay race… this man harvested all what CBK and other previous govts sowed .. That is it.
See the levles of our leader has been fallen to this day. Is he cultured, educated, mannered, civlized ? to give us a lead as a leader… of a nation whose literacy and other indicators are comparable to those of western countries to this date ?

He is absolutely correct. As long as Muslims remember Aluthgama and Dharga Town Pinkama organized by Nanasara under the instructions of Gota they should vote for Mahinda Byya.
Not only Muslims, Tamils also should vote for Mahinda Byya as long as they remember 40,000 Innocent Tamil Civilians who sacrificed their lives to Humanitarian operation Pinkama organizd by Mahinda Byya and Gotabaya Byya.
All the Pure and 1/2 Pure Sinhala Buddhists also should Vote for Mahinda Byya as long as they remembers the Names of Karuna Amman (Aranthalawa Bikku/Samanera Pinkama) Piileyan (Dalada Maliga Bomba Poojawa) Kumaran Pathmandan (Supply of Materials for above Pinkam) and others who are Mahinda Byya’s Lap.

If the Bribery Dept is genuine why cant go against any one like this man ?
The days we the buddhists respect the monk only for their Saffron robes are gone … due to the fact this barbarian man Ghanasara performed it on the public stages.
As it was the case that he escpaped himself from the case in which he injured by illegal driving years back, he escaped it in Aluthgama riots lately.
If this was an incident in Germany, UK or any other places where law in action is at its height… this man would have been kept isolated since the danger occures by him is a long term impact to current and future society.

He is wholly a hole-ly, only good for the holed government of Mahinda Rajapakse.
Gnasara Thera must change his attire and wear the traditional Muslim dress with the dangling hat and campaign for Mahinda amongst the Muslims.
Unfortunately, he must go for an extensive slimming course to release the free meal calories before being accepted in the Muslim community.

Any Muslim that is considering voting for this Rajapaksa regime once again, after ignoring their plight when attacked by these saffron robed terrorists, did not lift a finger to prevent their homes, businesses and their people being killed during the latest fiasco in Aluthgama, and other places, and who did not utter a single word of condemnation for these racist attacks on them and their Mosques, must be naive and out of touch with reality. Rajapaksa is buttering up various groups including Muslims offering them Haj trips, so that he can get their votes – only fools will believe his offers are genuine.

Why should we ever give importance to somebody who does not even represent the majority sentiments of the Buddhists. He does not even represent the Sinhalese. Nor does this man say anything media worthy to report. He is just another extension of MR’s puppet’s in the cabinet and parliament. He is a racist stooge representing the agenda of the Rajapakse family. This guy is enjoying the limelight and if CT and other media are any wise they will stop give him any exposure at all. He is a megalomaniac who is narcissistic to the core, just like the ruling family. I keep asking this question? Will Gota allow any other religious leader Hindu or Moslem to run riot and say things as Ganasara does against other communities. I fail to understand how the people of this country can keep quiet when the generations of our families and their future are dependent on one tyrannical family.
Monks are disciples of the Buddha. Can this man ever be a representative of the values and teachings that Buddha upheld. He should be taken to court for tarnishing the image and practices of the Buddha but the only issue is that Mohan (the other extension) of the Rajapakse’s will rule in favour of this idiot. If this regime is not ousted soon Sri Lanka will be in shambles in the next 5 years.

Ansar / October 29, 2014
Real Peace,
You are right, how come there are so many Muslims in the MARA Cabinet?
They are there because of their self seeking interests. They also should be voted out in lock,stock and barrel just like what happened to SLMC in Uva.
They are a crying shame for the Muslims. I for once will never forgive Rauf Hakeem for going along with MARA for the 18th amendment which is the single most reason for MARA’s high handedness. Not only the Muslims are suffering for his deed, but the whole nation. I think his party vote was the decisive factor for the passing of the 18th amendment.
If Sarath gave him life, Rauf gave him oxygen.

There was a day when Hitler was the most popular man in Germany. Rev.Gnanasara Thera is following Hitler’s strategy by alienating and scapegoating everybody else but the Sinhala Buddhist. The Sri Lankans with their 98.2% literacy rate will never buy into that sooner than the Germans did only after needless genocide. The Uva elections has shown us that. If the Rajapakse’s had any sense, they would disassociate themselves from these abhorrent bigots before they lose all of the massive support they once had.

Mallaiyuran / October 30, 2014
There was a big campaign from Sinhala intellectual against BBS is going on. Those so called Sinhala Intellectuals carried long lectures to their so called Sinhala Buddhist, about the BBS’s Buddhist Extremism. They blasted and blasted the BBS, in the circulation morning daily newspapers, on the electronic Media, over the political stages, so as raise sky reaching Hooray form their obedient disciples. It was quite a scene for some time and still too. Telling the truth to their disciples, the Sinhala Buddhist, that this is a planned trick by the Royal government, will weaken them, when these intellectual’s government come to power, by being countered by SLFP that these UNP terrorist are the ones beating the minority. So as a silent agreement with the Royal Government, not destroy each other on minority issues, instead rather use it as a the same gas station’s gasoline for both of their minority bashing election campaign vehicle, they kept beating the dead LTTE and put the blame on the BBS. They did understand that just beating the dead LTTE may bring suspicion on their disciples or the so called Sinhala Buddhist’s mind, so they used BBS, a spittoon to blame for their action. It was the exact purpose of the Royal Government to create BBS, the golden spittoon for the politicians of left and right, without discriminating. Surprisingly, unlike the devastated Tamils who still holding on to faint hope and trying to seek redress against Royal Government, neither Ulama nor the Ministers ever brought even a court case against the Royal government. They never tried using their political influence with the King to arrest Wirathu and hand him over to Interpol when visited to Lanka. Instead, all Muslims leaders unanimously witnessed for government against Tamils in all international bodies. In this matter, Muslims leaders, BBS, Sinhala Intellectuals, UNP and the SLFP always silently Ondukiruparkal (stay united).
BBS was formed by the Royal Government. The pure and sole purpose was to handle the Muslims votes. Muslims votes go to UNP. Tamils votes not confirmed to UNP. That is because both party for 66 years in turns continuously committed genocide on them. UNP cannot take it as granted. In this election King has better chance of convincing TNA than Ranil. That is not the case with Muslims. It is hard to make them to vote for SLFP. It has to be done in two steps. First the votes for UNP have to be tuned to Muslims party by making them to feel hatred towards Sinhala Parties. Then bribe the Muslim leaders like Hakeem, Rishard, Azwar, Fowze .. to divert that to UPFA candidate. But this super-duper technology failed a lot in Uva election even after BBS tried very to turn the Muslim voters against Sinhala parties. Too Sharp is full blunt. In fact Muslims abandon the King’s foot licking SLMC and voted direct to UNP. Now the BBS has to take a “U” turn.
