Where are we heading? The speed of the logic defying antics of the administration has taken on a new dimension and has gathered pace.As if the KP statement that there are NO criminal proceedings is not enough, we have the ex- CJ admitting that he had enough on MR to ban him from ever seeking office, due to the ‘Helping ...
It is utterly preposterous for Rauf Hakeem to try and absolve himself in a Press Release issued yesterday, trying to excuse himself from blame along with his erstwhile master the President in not being able to save life of Rizana Nafeek, mercilessly executed by a regime, that has double standards over morals and people’s lives. They were simply incompetent, and ...
Think about it! The SMS just came that said the President orders the IGP to perform an immediate investigation into the shooting of a Sunday Leader Journalist today. Consider the statement carefully and realize further that it is the President who is at the back of everything after every event ordering someone or another to do something. It is called ...
I had a sms a few minutes before the start of the Hyde Park Rally organized by the non-existent and misnamed United Bhikku Front (why a religious party would organize such a rally is really beyond my comprehension) that Karu Jayasuriya MP would NOT attend the rally. He was billed as the most prominent UNP politician who will attend, especially ...
It is a disgrace in Sri Lanka that we have so many illiterate Parliamentarians who purport to represent the people, and who voted on a piece of landmark legislation, without knowing what it was they were voting for. As 150 of the MP’s had not even received the particulars of the Bill on which they were voting, or if they ...
ACJU after much discussion has put out a press statement that I could have done. They are asking shops to sell Halal cert stuff separately to Muslims. Are they kidding?Why do they have to even insult the Muslims by making such an asinine statement. Why transfer the whole burden to the shops. Isn't it easier to say that they have ...
Human Rights Watch in its latest salvo has reiterated their past demands see linkhttp://www.hrw.org/news/2013/02/19/sri-lanka-un-rights-council-should-launch-inquiryThis makes them an easy target for the Government of Sri Lanka (GOSL) as they play right into the trap set for them. With daily atrocities being carried out around the world, by countries of much higher standing and democratic values engaged in sinister HR violations, where ...
It is incredible, if not embarrassing for the President of Sri Lanka who just lynched the CJ in public, to state that “the dignity of the Judiciary should be safeguarded” stated at an event in Minuwangoda of yesmen, when opening the New Pradeshiya Sabha Building there.Click here for article http://www.dailynews.lk/2012/12/10/news03.aspIt is the Govt. Press and Media that has singularly defiled ...
The UNP demanded and got a debate in Parliament on the implementation of the recommendations of the COPE committee of parliamentarians on their investigation of the public enterprises that come under the purview of the COPE.The Government members on the COPE committee failed to even turn up for the debate, and what was worse those government members slated to speak ...
The Precipitous Decline in Individual Freedoms has take a turn for the worse with the denial of access to SL surfers of both Colombo Telegraph and Colombo Page and we do not know what else as yet!This means that only treasonable information is now available, as the Govt. appears to be bent on destroying this Country. Unfortunately a foreigner is ...
The Editorial of Ceylon Today a few days ago, November 14th to be exact titled, “Ranil an imminent danger to free media” http://www.ceylontoday.lk/e-paper.html(on page 6 after you go to the 14/11/12 date and click on that date in Archives) is just a completely uncalled for personal attack without any understanding of the reason for RW questioning the need for some ...
I am simply gobsmacked that a two bit Foreign Service officer, of Her Majesty’s Govt. in this case in the guise of the Deputy HC, Laura Davies, is even accorded a welcome in Batticaloa to discuss, local politics!Is our Government stark raving mad? Or just too spineless to tell them to shove off! http://colombogazette.com/2014/09/11/uk-holds-talks-with-tna-in-batticaloa/This pathetic excuse for a Government, that ...
It is not a secret that today’s political power is enforced by threat and not by loyalty or genuine altruism for one’s fellow citizens. Gone are the days that people went into politics to give back to a nation that has given them the privilege of living and loving in this paradise isle. On that basis, families were brought up ...
We are about to be confronted with the latest version of Killing Fields to coincide with the UNHRC sessions in Geneva about to begin next week. In this the most poignant set of pictures along with convincing proof is of the cold blooded murder of Prabarkaran’s 12 yr son. The Channel 4 is playing the same game as the ...
The Island newspaper headline of July 16th about the Norwegians trying to forge alliances between the TNA and SLMC was a little bit of mischievous reporting on the part of newspaper to stir a hornet’s nest. After all the paper takes a dim view of NGO’s and foreign interference and this is exposed as just another aspect of the interference ...
We have since the Tsunami handed a country on a platter to a myth called Rajapakse, courtesy of many intellectuals, who in the Judiciary, Academia, Media and Clergy have misled the poor, the frightened, the docile and the impressionable populace into a frighteningly stark sink hole from which there is apparently NO return.Much water has flowed into the sink hole ...
A student of political science is better versed on this subject of timing, and the immense lengths seasoned politicians go to reverse the usual trend of missteps of Governments in power, especially of those who have been in power for too long.I must admit that the Government of Sri Lanka has gone to great lengths to study this subject ...
Yes that was what happened yesterday, December 4th, when “kana mile” the Mayor of Peliyagoda, shipped in a bunch of people with the above promise to hold placards at the Parliament square with banners and placards saying “lajjai” which means ‘shameful’ for the arrival of the Chief Justice for the second time to Parliament to be present at the impeachment ...
Every step of the way the BBS made statements that did not make sense. Each time there was some concession, a further nonsensical one was demanded, where as once a final multi faith compromise was reached, they demanded that HALAL be made illegal in Sri Lanka. Why didn’t they start with that if that was what they wanted all along? ...
In the CJ impeachment process, there have been 117 MPsign a motion they have not seen. The order paper in Parliament yesterday, 4th December 2012, contained the 14 charges that led to the impeachment motion, and the setting up of the PSC, but there has been NO evidence from the PSC to these charges or corroborating these charges. All that ...
