Prabhakaran cannot expect President to solve ethnic problem in two weeks says Mahanayake
Monday, 12 December 2005 - 2:21 AM SL Time

Mahanayake of Malwatte Chapter Most Venerable Thibbutuwawe Sri Sidhartha Sumangala Thera said that the LTTE leader, Velupillai Prabhakaran should not be too hasty as one could not expect the new president to solve the two decades long ethnic problem within two or three weeks and added that all support should be given to him to strengthen him to carry forward the peace process.

The prelate made this statement after invoking blessings on the new Army Commander Lieutenant General Sarath Fonseka when he called on to him at his Aramaya in Malwatte Maha Viharaya yesterday

The new Army Commander offered flowers at Sri Dalada Maligawa and after attending to religious observations paid homage to the Malwatte Mahanayake Thera. After signing the visitor`s book at Sri Dalada Maligawa the new Army Commander pledged to lead the army and work with dedication for the country`s safety.

Speaking further the prelate said that the LTTE had continued to harbour doubts on the actions of the leaders in the South. Presumably they thought that they had been cheated. There was a speculation that war would come again under a Mahinda Rajapakse regime which became a misconception. 'The president sincerely wants to bring peace to all racial and religious groups in the country' he said adding that the parties who brought the president into power should continue to support him in his peace efforts.

'We know that you have honest wish to bring peace and to save the country and we wish you courage and strength to provide leadership in the efforts to bring peace and save the country' the prelate said to the new Army Commander.

The new Army commander pledged to work with dedication to work for the safety of the country and the people in the manner pointed out by the prelate and even at the cost of his life.

Lieutenant General Sarath Fonseka was received warmly by Senior Theras of Asgiriya Sangha Sabha led by the Asgiriya Chapter Mahanayake most venerable Udugama Sri Buddharakkitha Thera also.

Asgiriya Chapter Anunayake Venerable Galagama Sri Attadassi Thera in his Anmusasana said that the LTTE had violated the conditions of the peace agreement on a number of occasions. 'They kill people but denied that they were responsible for these killings. They claim that it was the work of a 'third force' and if there was such a group it should be brought under control. You should take the lead in this task and Maha Sangha will always be with you' Anunayake Thera said.

Venerable Dr. Godagama Mangala Thera, Venerable Wendaruwe Upali Thera, Venerable Atipola Mahinda Thera, Venerable Ambanpola Dharmarama Thera, Central provincial Commander of the Army Brigadier Lalith Daulugala, Major Rohan Wijesundera, SSP Kandy, Gunatillake Banda, Army Commander`s wife Mrs. Anoma Fonseka, and his daughter Ms. Aparna Fonseka and many other army cadres participated in the event.

Somarama69:

I assumed, an estate tamil.

You will be nothing in Jaffna. You have to come back to south to open your big mouth.

You are just like your leader Thondaman, just like a stray dog.

Your mind is crooked. Somarama59 is a Sinhalese who speak in favor of Tamils. He is not prejudice like you.That's all.

'I am from Ampitiya,Kandy.
Kandy is my home town and I know in and out of Maligawa'
--Mr.Soma59

Nice to hear that you know in-out of Maligawa? How did you feel when a bomb was exploded at the temple of the tooth by the LTTE?

A man of justice, please justify this.

Thanks.

Prabakaran or the leader of the world's # 1 terrorist outfit is asking for a 'peaceful solution' within weeks because he knows that it is impossible.
The wanni butchers left the peace talks and started to fatten their arsenal under the guise of the most infamous CFA. While killing their opponents, the VBTs made much progress in preparing another conflict with the GOSL.
Now that we have a new President, the murderers are putting pressure on him for an 'unwanted' & 'impossible' quick solution.
Their ambition is crystal clear: when a 'solution' does not come as avathaar wants, he wants to show the world that the GOSL has no interest in a peaceful solution....and will start anther killing & destruction spree!!

Somarama59,
What a load of gibberish you said there.! Are you trying to beat Thamil for hilarious muck here? Just because you are from Ampitiya, how would you claim to know in and out of maligawa all? Well, I am from the heart of kandy and I know thousands in and around maligawa (including former Diyawadana Nilame) but not only I or those many I know, but even Diyawadana Nilame doesn't know all about Maligawa.Who are you then?
Follow that .. you then go on to say something totally different to in and out of maligawa.
Of course the good General may have gone to get the blessings from the high prelates and the tooth relic after accepting the highest military post. How would Prabha or anybody expect the president to solve anything in two weeks? So it's a fair comment for the prelate to make.
War or not depends on how much genuine the LTTE will be.

Further, in case you didn't know it, the successive governments made all sorts of efforts to sort it out but the LTTE ain't have none of it, just the shylock type Eelam, that has always been the case.

Judging by Somarama's words, perhaps he must have celebrated when Maligawa was bombed by the LTTE. I am surprised if he is genuinely from Ampitiya.

Well, Ven.Mahanayake Thera,

Mahinda will never be able to solve the ethnic problem under a unitary state. Not in two weeks. Not in a thousand weeks.

You supported Mahinda's stance on the ethnic issue and now you are begging Prabhakaran to give him time.

If you stop interfering in state matters it will make it much easier for the politicians to solve this problem.

((These Tamil estate workers are the backbone of this country, without them Sri lanka will collapse.))



Well said. I couldn't agree with you more!

Thiravadian:

I don't know. Why don't you ask him directly?

I posted a question to Mr.Soma59 and am waiting to hear his justifications. He is the man of Justice from Ampitiya. Be patient, I am sure he will find the justice.
