JHU storms Kingswood College




The principal of Kingswood College, Kandy has been threatened by the Jathika Hela Urumaya for allowing the school premises to be used for a prayer service organized by the National Christian Association.

The Department of Education had given prior permission for the event on March 15th, principal of the school Ranjith Chandrasekara said.

He has complained to the Kandy Police that after the prayer service, a group led by the JHU s Kandy District leader Thushara Swarnatilake had stormed the school and threatened him before staging a protest in front of the school.

Chandrasekara said that he had charged Rs. 6,500 for providing the venue for the prayer service that was conducted to invoke blessings on the country, its leaders and the people.

A JHU group led by Kandy district MP Udawatte Nanda and Liyanwila Sasanaratana Theras had met the principal and claimed that 500 Tamil Tigers from Kilinochchi had attended the prayer service.

After the principal informed them that the school had no connection with the event, the group had damaged the school hall and staged a protest outside the premises.

UNP General Secretary Tissa Attanayake had also attended the event which attracted pre-event publicity through a poster campaign in the Kandy town, Swarnatilake said.

Had the JHU had any issue with the event, it should have took it up with the police or me, he added.

Instead, it had acted in a manner that incites religious and communal feelings among the public.

When contacted, the UNP General Secretary said he briefly attended the event for around 10 minutes as it was aimed at invoking blessings on the country.

Attanayake also said that he had also come to know about the disturbance, and extended his fullest support to the school principal in a telephone conversation.

According to JHU s Thushara Swarnatilake, he had only questioned the school principal as to whether a group from Kilinochchi had participated in the prayer, and then staged a protest against it with the people of Kandy.

Lal Kantha speaks up of the JVP politician who is caught in Mahinda's 'glue baby'

(Lanka-e-News, 2008 March 29, 8.00AM) 'Those who do not bow the majority consent should not stay in the JVP politburo. Decisions should be reached through majority consent and not through individual stands. A conspiracy is underway to divide the party and I would name the persons concerned soon.'

This is a statement made by MP K.D. Lal Kantha, JVP trade union leader and the person used to express the party internal stances. He made this statement addressing the JVP party branch conference held in Raththota, Mathale on March 27.

Lal Kantha alluded JVP Propaganda Secretary Wimal Weerawansa without mentioning his name. He emphasized, 'President Mahinda Rajapakse is in the habit of catching the weak politicians through 'glue babies' (Koholla babala). There are people caught in this within JVP too and they make various statements.'

Lal Kantha's hard stance to reveal the party internal conflict is a direct response to the public statements made by Wimal Weerawansa on disarming Pillaiyan Group.

JVP Secretary Tilvin Silva stated in several public meetings as well as at the discussion held by the Election Commissioner with the political party secretaries on the Provincial Council election of the Eastern Province that the Pillaiyan Group must be disarmed.

MP K.D. Lal Kantha said to Lankadeepa newspaper on March 27, that the government was in an erroneous political process of consolidating Pillaiyan's military power in the Eastern Province and registered a strong protest to it.

Meanwhile, MP Wimal Weerawansa said that the brains should be examined of those who said Pillaiyan Group should be disarmed. As the General Secretary of the Patriot National Movement Weerawansa said in Colombo on March 26 that the criticism on Pillaiyan Groups armaments should be focused to drag them to the democratic process and not to betray them to the LTTE. He said that he had problems over the benevolence of those who needed to disarm Pillaiyan.

Meanwhile, the sacked JVP politburo member MP Nandana Gunathilaka appreciated Weerawansa's politics in an article written to a weekend newspaper.

Who, Gota, is he going back stab his elder brother, Sarath Fonseka won't bother, he is waiting to settle in USA.

Who else, JVP?

If ever a military rule comes in Srilanka, Military must execute this pitch, she laid the foundation for the destruction of the country through her three mistakes.

She had the golden opportunity to solve this stupid war.
