Here you will see the reactions from two influential Sri Lankan parliamentarians in response to the brutal Weliweriya military attack on a peaceful people’s protest against water-pollution. You’ll see how one of the MPs strongly condemned the government’s past record for rewarding the guilty parties responsible for similar attacks with prestigious posts. Some of the comments of the MPs were ordered to be removed from the Hansard. But, some of these banned comments can be heard here. Although some of the names mentioned in the speeches have been deleted, it may not be too difficult for the readers to guess who.

The military must be DOWN SIZED!
There is NO WAR in Sri Lanka and only STATE TERRORISM against innocents encouraged by a regime accused of war crimes to cover its crimes. Soldiers should be encouraged to leave a “golden handshake” to start small businesses.
Civil society and International donors should work together to formulate a Demobilization and demilitarization and reintegration program for Lanka’s bloated military.
Excellent speech – how the Rajapakse regime rewards murderers in the military and gives them diplomatic postings – Shavindra Perera in New York is another criminal with a diplomatic posting..
Hence the military and police will continue to kill innocents with impunity..

Point of View / August 10, 2013
They are looking for a war. Right at this moment (7 pm Sri Lanka time) a mosque is being attacked in Grandpass in the presence of Police who are doing nothing. There had been damages to the houses as well.
Apparently army has been deployed. Fauz Mustapha is on the ground. Hope it will not go any further than this.

There is no doubt that murderers and criminals are rewarded by the regime. From the various LTTE terrorist to the drug dealers, criminals and extortionist are part of the Govt.

/
I am no muslim / August 10, 2013
Read the Koran you will see, that it is not MR but Allah that reward the murderers. There are at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule.
Does not average Muslims display in the back of their vehicles that “there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger.”
Did not Muhammad himself had people killed for insulting him or for criticizing his religion. Did not Muhammad beheaded captives, enslaved children and raped women captured in battle.
Taking Muhammad’s examples, did not Muslims carried out tens of thousand of terror attacks killing and maiming hundreds of thousands of men, women and children in the last ten years alone and explicitly in the name of Islam.
If so, what nonsense are these Muslims speaking here? Isn’t it a joke that Muslims present themselves as innocents and accuse MR a murderer?

How can anybody forget those days – while Rajapakshes are becoming much worst today ? Just watch that documentary video from Daily mirror about the killings in that Deraniyagala areas, there nobody would not disagree with them the poor people. This regime is by far the worst we have had after the independence. Rajapakshes should be broought before international courts. My wish is to happen this in coming months. CW leaders should be fully ignorants not to see the reality within the ISLAND- srilanka today.

what a shame this country has lost his image totally & what do you expect with goons like azwer in the parliament.
/
Qassim Ben Qassim / August 10, 2013
Super ,Hon. MP.Anura Dissanayaka, this how an excellent Politician represents the people ,,I hope the Minorities will consider voting for the JVP in the next election,
/
gamini / August 10, 2013
Yes I concede Anura Kumara Dissanayake is a very capable orator who will appeal to the masses.
The UNP from the beginning has done much for the poor of this country starting with providing Land to the Landless poor, where 5 acres of prepared paddy land, three acres of High land with a two roomed house and a Co-operative were set up in all the Colonies where hundreds of thousand families from Gampaha, Veyangoda, Mirigama were settled, to form the backbone of Agriculture in the North central Province. These schemes could not be continued after ’56 as the entire country was put to turmoil after Banda playing with the Policies, trying to destabilize the UNP by killing the Private sector, which was the back bone of development in the country. Thus the country paid heavily for the Political expediences of these power hungry Politicians.
Today the country has reverted back from the State Controled Economy of the SLFP led coalition govts, to a Mixed Economy as has happened in Communist Russia and Socialist China. Therefore if Anura Kumara Dissanayake and the JVP, if they are really keen to do something for the masses of this country, the best person who would do something genuine like the UNP then, would be Ranil Wickremasinghe, because he is a fair man who understand the plight of the poor, better than those who came from the down trodden who have become Ultra Capitalist today, without improving the stock of the masses who are poor. The entire govt of the UPFA 99% were from the poor ordinary in society then, starting from the family of MR President, D.M. Jayaratne PM and almost all the Ministers and MPs although they flaunt wealth as the richest in society today. Therefore the best bet would be for these Anura Kumara Dissanayake crowd of the JVP to put their weight behind Ranil Wickremasinghe, rather than trying to come on their own which is rather remote.
/
gamini / August 10, 2013
I forgot to mention that the UNP govt of ’65 to ’70 under Dudley Senanayake gave the poor in the country, a measure of Rice free. Then at the hustings of ’70 Mrs. B promised to give the poor two measures of Rice FREE. When questioned from where she could get an additional measure free, she went on to say that she will even get it from the Moon. Some of the public swallowed the bait and gave her the mandate to form the UF govt. Dudley Senanayake was ridiculed as Pacha Bahu. Bath Gotta. In election Processions in the ’70 Election the SLFP supporters tying a loaf of bread at the end of a stick was kicking it about. Some had packets of rice stuck on sticks, all to show that the SLFP will get two measures of rice free even from the Moon. Five years in to Mrs, B’s regime, the poor were rummaging dustbins like dogs for food. People were prevented from being served rice on two days of the week. For Weddings the guests were restricted and only a drink could be served. From then on started the rot in this country, where the uneducated were appointed as Ministers to run the Ministries. The rest is History today.
/
Sanjay Karuna / August 11, 2013
Yes Gamini I remember very well.
“For Weddings the guests were restricted and only a drink could be served”
…But the affluent, served large pieces of beautifully wrapped Wedding Cake to guests before they went into the Wedding Venue! The Bridal Party was escorted by a Perahera of Kandyan Drummers and Dancers. This was the first time such displays of wealth were exhibited! It is commonplace now.
/
SORRYSTATE_SL / August 10, 2013
JVP should join UNP in protecting the nation´s rights leaving all differences aside. Masses of the country would respect the view if people are made clear the very need. The country is in a mess today. They the uneducated bunch seems to have no constructive responses as to why they ordered amry forces to intervene in Weliweriya incident ?
Tomorrow, army men would be sent to settle if villagers across the country would raise their voice against the import or flow of internationally banned some fertilizers (pesticides and other chemicals). Neth fm very lately revealed that the dept of excise is over corrupted body – just pretending that they would not allow any hazadous alcoholic beverages being imported, but some dealers have now been caught in the act – the audio tapes are now available with Balumgala. If the polisphathi wanne to go against all these criminals, they can do it within hours. But the abusive politicians would not allow him to react. That is the reality of this most abusive regime. MR stays further mum as if he has better things to be engaged. Most idiotic president that the south asia every produced. These Rajapskehs should be removed to allow the nation in peace.

Thank you CT for the video clip. CT should translate this video clip to English language and send a copy to UNHRC and to CHOGM ministers. There will be no justice to people under Rajapakse Dictators. Therefore please send a copy of this clip to UNHRC and CHOGM members.
The country is taken on a dangerous path by Rajapakse Alibaba Dictators.
First of all Sri Lanka Government Parliament is a Whore House comprised with over 65 Whores paid and Bought By Rajapakse Pimp. Minister Ashraff is one of them who washes President’s underware in the Parliament whore house.
Please watch the following video.
http://www.dailymirror.lk/video/33228-noori-under-reign-of-terror.html
Deraniyagala Town and the American Tea estate was demolished by the Rakapakse murder Goon who even do not care for Law and order, Police or justice.
This is a short documentary about Noori, a sceneic village 14 Kilometers off Deraniyagala where many atrocities are alleged to have taken place. Many victims did not want to be on camera and many didnt speak to us in fear of reprisal. However, the short film depicts ‘ the tip of the iceberg’ in which the Police, Politicians and Criminals collude to
further a reign of terror on innocent villagers by Mara murderous thug goons.
My brother who lives in Colombo who has three dogs at his home still cannot leave his house for three hours fearing burglars who are under influence of Drugs, kasippu and Ganja imported and distributed by the ruling Mafia.
How could you call for Foreign Investments into the country when Alibabas are in top seat and when there is no law and order in country with commission kakka thieves roaming around.
Calling for Foreign Investments only to steel and rob their Pockets and nothing else.
/
UNIVERSE / August 10, 2013
You are so right.Something SHOULD happen soon… and it will….Never seen such a murderous government in my life. Ali BABA and 65 Horu from UNP and other Horu from SLFP..Feel sorry for the genuine people in the government (There are still few)..
There should be a strong opposition …Everyone should get together..TIME IS NOW
/
SORRYSTATE_SL / August 10, 2013
From what we get to read, there is still no strong opposition against the them the rulers. Here on the video, those villagers clearly express that they have seen how the policemen were physically assualted by those criminals. And many of them are in opinion that Maheepala is behind all these crimes. Why the govt would not do anything to protect the rights of these people ? I dont live in srilanka, by watching and listening to those in the video, I feel, the living today in Srilanka should really be dangerous. Why the people and opposition politicians let these level to become this dangerous ? I have never heard criminals attacked the police to this levels in the country few decades ago. This has become takin for granted today – this is the reason why many would not respect police today
/
SORRYSTATE_SL / August 10, 2013
Thanks Mahela, we the ones that are out the country dont get all the truth about the prevailing situation in the country today.
I watched that video and realized that ministers and their close ones are well connected with those multi criminals of the mentioned area.
Why the opposition parties have not noticed all these sofar is the question instantly came to my mind ?
What do you think why JVPers or UNPers did not address these issues, if they did, no doubt they would have won the hearts and minds of the poor people in that area. When you listen to this particular documentary, everyone will have any doubt, that MR regime is a murderous one. Why the masses still rally round with them – is my question.

Mahela / August 10, 2013
SORRYSTATE_SL –
You ask……….What do you think why JVPers or UNPers did not address these issues, if they did, no doubt they would have won the hearts and minds of the poor people in that area………
The truth is yes Both UNP and JVP are working very hard to spread their message across. But Rajuapakses have curbed all the main stream media in Sri Lanka.
Rajapakses either have bought outright the main stream media, both TV, radio and press while using strong arm method to supress other media to give least coverage to opposition parties and to delete many major political events and upheavals in the country.
Only few newspapers such as Daily Mirror and CT publish the major crucial issues while no TV and Radio gives more time for Opposition parties. Also many valuable Free media reporters and Journalists were murdered and their printing presses were burned by the regime to supress media.
This is the sad state of our country run by the Dictatorial family Regime.
We need to go into more International media to send the message across.
Calling for foreign Investments while Murdering own citizen who asking for clean water is murder misnomer.
It’s time to send the message across before next genocide occurs.

If UNHRC would better focus how HR has been improved in the country – alone the incident occured in the country during the last 3 months are more than enough Ms Pillay to draw conclusions that the island has become one of the most insecure places on the this earth. It is reported that Deraniyagala people had lived under all kind of fears to their lives not for just one year – but for the last 10 years. Rulers boast about their developement ignoring the grievances of their own people. Grievances that those people had never been before – it is just because of those pradesheeya saba members and the back of rulers have caused police not to react whatever complaints were made to them. Those uneducated IRC like members with the support of top politicians have even assulated the police men in that area. Eye witnesses have revealed this to the video lately, how some police men were beaten by that Athakora – the multicriminal but a close confidiant of ruling ministers perhaps of MR clans.
This is the political culture, if the nation would have a peaceful future is the greater question one would raise today.
