Lankan News Replies

General Secretary of the United National Party, Parliamentarian Tissa Attanayake requested that the government leave General Sarath Fonseka alone.

Addressing a meeting recently at Agalawatta, he pointed out that General Fonseka was a highly decorated military official of unmatched class, who had fought for the freedom of the country and that the people would not tolerate any injustice being meted out to him. The UNP parliamentarian further said, The government is frightened that the opposition s candidate for the presidential election could be someone they cannot compete against. Through fear, they are attempting to tarnish the image of leading personalities, who, they believe would be the opposition s presidential candidate.

The government has deployed officers to follow prominent personalities in the opposition. They have resorted to telephone tapping in an attempt to find out secrets about them. However the opposition is prepared to face any type of election called by the government, and we don t keep anything from the people. The government failed to present the annual budget or to provide relief to the people. Many of the development projects inaugurated with much pomp and heraldry are failures.

However, the government has allocated Rs.2366 million from the proposed vote on account for the expenditure of the President. It is a clear indication that the President spends Rs.19.1 million per day. How can we approve the waste of public funds in this manner? This is in addition to the expenditure incurred in the upkeep of 113 ministers and their personal staff.

The proposed alliance of opposition political parties has been formed to fight the government s corruption and malpractices. After the Southern Provincial election, the government realized that the people are now out to teach them a bitter lesson before long

Kalutara District Parliamentarian Luxman Ananda Wijemanna, Provincial Council Members Palitha Thevarapperuma, Kithsiri Kahatapitiya, Ajith P.Perera, Chairman of the Palindanuwara Pradeshiya Sabha Dhammika Ranasinghe, and Vice Chairman J.D. Udaya Gamini attended the meeting.

When General Sarath Fonseka's army marched on Alimankada (Elephant Pass), these UNP humbugs ridiculed him: SF's army was marching towards Pamankada!
Now the same foxes are 'trying to be the protectors' of The Chief of Staff of the SLDF...General Fonseka!
What a bunch of shameless opportunists!
How can the voters place confidence on them?
Sri Lankan voters are intelligent and the UNP led shaky coalition (!) will learn the biggest humiliation at the forthcoming Presidential & Parliamentary elections!

NO UNPeer did reticule the Forces at anytime. They were fabrications and out of context quotes printed by the Patcha Paththara of the Lake House. Denials by all parties were printed in other Private News Media and electronic but not in the Patcha Media of the GOVT.

Even SF was informed by UNP hierarchy of this and he has accepted it in good faith.

Libel cases running to billions filed against the Patcha Papers pending. If the Patcha Papers loose Lake House will have to be sold to pay them off.

What is the Truth of this.

IS SL Prime Minister that BAD a man ?

Providing lifetime security for heads of security forces would be troublesome said Prime Minister Ratnasiri Wickremanayake. He said advice from Auditor General s Department regarding this has been requested regarding this issue and he would be able to give a definite reply when he gets the advice from the Attorney General said PM Wickremasinghe.
During the debate for extending emergency in Parliament today JVP Parliamentarian Bimal Ratnayake said a special statement was made in the Parliament requesting to bring in a special act to provide lifetime security to heads of Security Forces. However, the government has not responded regarding this request he pointed out and asked whether the Prime Minister would give a definite answer regarding the issue.
In response the Prime Minister said bringing in such an act would create a constitutional problem. He said heads of Security Forces have been already provided with security but providing lifetime security to them would be a complication.
JVP Parliamentarian Anura Dissanayake making a special statement in Parliament recently had asked that a special act be presented in Parliament to provide lifetime security to heads of Security Forces. At the time Mr. Dissanayake made the special statement the Leader of the House Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva said the government would respond to Mr. Dissanayake s request as soon as the Prime Minister comes back from his foreign visit.
On the 4th Mr. Disssanayake said he had not got a response from the government regarding his request for the special act. Then Chief Whip of the government Minister Dinesh Gunawardene said the Prime Minister would give a definite answer during the debate on extending emergency.
However, today too the Prime Minister failed to give a definite reply and even when Mr. Bimal Ratnayake reminded the House regarding this request the Prime Minister could not give a definite reply.
