Commenting on the controversial issue of the timing of the Presidential election, Deputy General Secretary of the UNP, Tissa Attanayake threatened that his party would not tolerate the President remaining in that position, after December 22, but take serious action if an attempt is made to do so. Addressing a UNP Balamandalaya at Kundasale, he said that a second 'Janabala Meheyuma' would be organized in the event of any moves to postpone the Presidential election. President Chandrika Kumaratunga had taken oaths secretly in a room, whereas her predecessors J.R. Jayawardena and Ranasinghe Premadasa were with the people when taking their Presidential oaths, having done so at the Galle Face green and Sri Dalada Maligawa respectively.'
Speaking further, he said that the country has reached an anarchical state, although the expressed objective of the Alliance government was to develop the country and to bring down the cost of living.
He also said that the SLFP nominated a Presidential candidate because they were daunted by the massive crowd that participated at the Janabala Meheyuma. 'During the two-year regime of the UNP Mr. Ranil Wickremesinghe created peace in the country and got a colossal amount of foreign exchange for the development of the country. What did the Prime Minster do during a period of one -and-a-half years'' he questioned. He said that a popularity poll conducted by a local and an international organization had Ranil Wickremesinghe scoring 45% compared to 27% for Mahinda Rajapakse. 'A separate organization will be formed to protect the party and to eradicate poverty. Arrangements have been made to go door to door on August 08 to collect signatures for a `Janabala` petition.
Viharadhipathy of the Balagolle Buddhist Centre, the Venerable Talpotha Dhammajothi Thera, Kundasale Pradeshiya Sabha Chairman Anura Seneviratne, Vice Chairman, Kularatne Wickremasuriya and officers of the UNP branch were present on this occasion. (157)

Hey man,
I am interested in looking at your policy statement. Forget about another 'Janabala'.
Sooner or later you will get either presidential election in Decemeber 2005 not because of the pressure of 'Janabala' but because of either SC ruling or due to the decision of Election Commissioner.
If JVP do not vote for the budget and if you dont absent from voting you will get a general election.
So forget about another 'Janabala' but prepared for an election with your policy statement. |

I certainly hope CBK goes home. I was talking to a friend of mine few hours ago in SL. He was telling me how bad the situation is economically. I thnk it is all to do with petrol prices (no fault of CBK) and other short sighted econ. policies.
On a lighter notemy friend was telling me that LTTE wont kill CBK even if they can apparently. She does so much damage to the economy, LTTE can not even do that much damage so LTTE might even help her party to come back to power.
Of course these are jokes circling in Colombo. But it shows what people think about CBK. |
