Former President Chandrika Kumaratunga<\/span><\/a>, who returned to\u00a0the country a few days back after leaving Sri Lankan shores in disgust\u00a0following the United People\u2019s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) decision to give\u00a0nominations to former President Rajapaksa, finally decided to break\u00a0her lengthy silence today.<\/p>\n

Delivering a long awaited statement<\/span><\/a> Kumaratunga called on the SLFP\u00a0members and all citizens to reject Rajapaksa again at the upcoming\u00a0polls and elect candidates with integrity to march forward with the\u00a0mandate given on January 8.<\/p>\n

\"chandrika-kumaratunga\"<\/a>Kumaratunga said she had decided to place the country before her party\u00a0at this crucial juncture.\u00a0She accused Rajapaksa of ruinng the SLFP and country and spreading\u00a0racism and using the religion for political ends.<\/p>\n

The following is an English translation of the full statement issued\u00a0by Bandaranaike in Sinhala.<\/p>\n

Upcoming Election and the Country\u2019s Future\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A silent revolution took place on January 8 in the country. It was a\u00a0victory achieved by the citizens for the establishment of democracy.\u00a0As a person who contributed to that victory, I consider it my duty to\u00a0explain my stand with regards to the upcoming general election which I\u00a0consider is a very crucial one.\u00a0Patriotic citizens who respect freedom and democracy rose against the\u00a0cruel suppression of the Rajapaksa regime in a heroic manner for a\u00a0harmless struggle. It enabled them to unseat the suppressive regime\u00a0with the use of ballots and not by force. The struggle which was\u00a0conducted in a peaceful manner, without shedding a single drop of\u00a0blood was to ensure the victory of a noble vision. This noble\u00a0endeavour will be etched in history in gold.\u00a0Rajapaksa contested elections while exploiting state resources, the\u00a0armed forces, Police and the media. He exploited religion for his\u00a0petty gain and shamelessly resorted to spread racism. It is a foregone\u00a0conclusion that a country gets isolated, when a ruler attempts to be\u00a0in power for ever by undermining human rights and ruling without\u00a0foresight. The future of such a country becomes entirely bleak.<\/p>\n

Fortunately we were able to avoid such an unfortunate event.<\/p>\n

So it is the duty of all patriotic citizens to stand up irrespective\u00a0of differences to protect the victory achieved on Januaray 08 with so\u00a0much sacrifice.<\/p>\n

The SLFP is a people\u2019s party which was founded on the pillars of true\u00a0democratic principles and good governance.<\/p>\n

My late father S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike built SLFP with so much\u00a0commitment and sacrifice for the benefit of the country. In this\u00a0endeavour he successfully marshaled the five forces \u2013 the Sangha\u00a0(Clergy), Veda (Physicians), Guru (Teachers), Govi (Farmers) and\u00a0Kamkaru (Workers). The noble aim of the party was to work for the\u00a0benefit of the masses and not personal gain.\u00a0I recall with respect that after the demise of my father, my mother\u00a0became the world\u2019s first woman prime minister and garnered both local\u00a0and international fame. After the demise of my parents, I was\u00a0fortunate enough to lead the party.<\/p>\n

Despite many setbacks and challenges I re-organized the party and took\u00a0it to victory. I was committed to this task even despite threats to\u00a0the safety of my children. I was able to take the party which had\u00a0tasted defeat for 17 long years to victory. In this journey I became\u00a0the Chief Minister, the Prime Minister and the country\u2019s President on\u00a0two occasions. Under my leadership the country achieved many notable\u00a0triumphs in ensuring good governance and economic development. After\u00a0my terms ended I decided to retire with dignity and respect.<\/p>\n

At the time of my retirement, despite opposition from a majority\u00a0within the SLFP I decided to hand over the leadership of both the\u00a0party and the government to Mahinda Rajapaksa as I had some confidence\u00a0in him. But after assuming leadership Rajapaksa who chose to undermine\u00a0democratic norms also ruined the the party\u2019s noble vision in a manner\u00a0we did not expect. While uprooting all progressive expressions he\u00a0acted as a dictator, driving the party towards ruin. I witnessed with\u00a0such sadness the manner in which the party was been taken towards\u00a0destruction.<\/p>\n

In the backdrop of the country becoming a playground of a single\u00a0family and a few of their friends who used state resources and power\u00a0for ulterior gain I decided to align with forces who were fighting to\u00a0re-direct the country towards a people friendly rule and re-establish\u00a0good governance. While bringing all Sri Lankan forces committed for\u00a0such a cause under one roof we tried to lay the foundation for a\u00a0political culture of consensus.<\/p>\n

I decided to bow down to the requests of the leaders of civil society\u00a0organizations and some leaders within our party itself who had been\u00a0talking to me for some time. A majority wanted to usher a \u00a0change under\u00a0my leadership. But I did not have any desire to remain in politics. I\u00a0always detested attempts made by leaders to remain in power for ever.\u00a0But as the country was spiraling out of control I decided to identify\u00a0another leader from the party and with the support of sections of the\u00a0SLFP, the United National Party, civil Society organizations and other\u00a0patriotic forces put forward him as a common candidate to contest\u00a0Rajapaksa instead of me. After doing this I acted with commitment to\u00a0ensure his victory.<\/p>\n

After this our aim was to form a national government and rebuild the\u00a0country while ushering political reforms. We also wanted to re-build\u00a0the SLFP.<\/p>\n

After the January 08 victory people were fortunate to enjoy a\u00a0government which ensured good governance. But unfortunately the\u00a0defeated leader was biding his time to launch a counter revolution.\u00a0With the help of some political leaders within the party and the UPFA\u00a0he tried to scuttle the political reforms and the country\u2019s forward\u00a0march. He tried to wreck the good governance rule. Despite such\u00a0obstacles I must note that the new government was able to do some\u00a0noteworthy work for the benefit of the people.\u00a0The most important role of the new government was to ensure democracy,\u00a0media freedom, human rights and create a background where all\u00a0communities could live together in dignity while enjoying equal\u00a0rights. The efforts made to increase salaries and bring down the cost\u00a0of living are commendable. Also they have initiated efforts to\u00a0eradicate corruption from the state sector which is a gigantic task.<\/p>\n

The efforts to identify those engaged in corrupt activities during the\u00a0previous rule and punish the responsible are ongoing. Also efforts\u00a0taken to control the drugs, ethanol trade and to stop political
\nviolence against opponents cannot be taken lightly.\u00a0While the government tried to introduce a people friendly governance\u00a0policies, those close to Rajapaksa in parliament tried to block them.\u00a0In the backdrop of conspiracies launched by the defeated former ruler\u00a0growing day by day the parliament had to be dissolved. However, this\u00a0became a much more complicated matter than expected.\u00a0I think these events have had a negative impact on low abiding\u00a0citizens. The attempts made by the defeated ruler and his corrupt\u00a0followers to seek another mandate from the people has become a\u00a0problem for respected party candidates. But I am most disturbed to see\u00a0the lack of desire shown by some party seniors towards a proper\u00a0restructuring of the SLFP. I am also saddened by their personal\u00a0decline.<\/p>\n

But hereby I like to explain my stance to true SLFP members who love the party.\u00a0The question in front of us is whether to align with the people who\u00a0destroyed the party principles and dragged the country towards ruin or\u00a0support the people who are trying to take the country towards victory\u00a0and have the vision and commitment to do so.\u00a0After studying this deeply my decision is that we should build the\u00a0country first. For this it is imperative to protect the victory we\u00a0achieved on January 08.<\/p>\n

The love and devotion I have for the SLFP will never change. I will\u00a0always be committed to strengthen our true policies and through it to\u00a0usher a righteous rule in the country.\u00a0We need to establish good governance for us and our children to live\u00a0in this country in a dignified and respectful manner. At the upcoming\u00a0elections we have to defeat those forces who are trying to destroy the\u00a0chance we got to create new nation.\u00a0I appeal to all SLFP members to shed differences and join the\u00a0political parties, civil society organizations and all progressive\u00a0forces which came together on January 08 to ensure a new political\u00a0culture of consensus instead of a political culture of dissent.<\/p>\n

I truly believe those power-mad political forces who are trying to\u00a0spread myths to create disunity should be defeated.\u00a0To ensure good governance I appeal to all citizens to elect erudite\u00a0politicians at the upcoming polls, who can carry forward the January\u00a008 victory and make the parliament an institution which fulfills the\u00a0aspirations of the people in a dignified manner.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s work together to realize the dreams of a new nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
