Mahinda-Gotabaya-Ranil Conspiracy
Kanthar Balanathan
The recent resignation of Mahinda
Rajapaksa and the appointment of Ranil as the PM of Sri Lanka are Presumed to
be behind a subterranean conspiracy. This may be damaging to the economy of Sri
Lanka in the long run. This presumption is based on the political characters
who hold the key role in the parliament. By now the people who plea themselves
as the majority (Sinhalese) should have digested the feature/value of
excellence their politicians inherit. The people should now know the honesty
and integrity of their politicians.
The writer has based his
arguments and conclusions on the history of the last 50 to 60 years. The writer
knows their politicians and their education, competency, bribery, honesty, and
corrupt practices for the last 50-60 years. The writer’s father was a Police
Officer (Law & Order) and he had inherited a significant volume of
erroneous functions on dishonesty within the Police Department. Ministerial
interference in law & order affairs by the ministers and their associates
was quite common.
Economic Collapse
Since 1948 the country was ruled
by the Sinhalese who pronounced and justified that they are the majority in Sri
Lanka (SL) and the democracy decree is “rule by the majority”. Today we can see
how the country has gone down to stray dogs. The way Sinhalese
governance was seen as a Jihad, a Fundamentalist way of governing. The
Sinhalese vision was to force multi-dimensional oppression and discrimination
on the Tamils and detach the Tamils from governance. There were two major
political parties in SL. (i) SLFP, (2) UNP. Both parties have the same vision,
however, their mission is different. Both parties have the vision of making SL
a fundamental Buddhist and Sinhala only country. Tamils who opposed were
eliminated by a different method. Srimavo joined with LSSP and pushed them out
of politics by using the tactics of demonetising the currency in the 70s. To
maintain the Sinhalese majority, the government disfranchised one million
Tamils in 1949. The second act was to destroy the Tamil heritage historical
books by burning the Jaffna Public Library. They went on bombing Tamils all
around the North and East to maintain dominance in their political activities.
The economy of SL started to
decay probably in the 50s and 2004 after the Tsunami catastrophe. In other
words, the economy started to dwindle after Mahinda Rajapaksa entered into
power politics. Mahinda Rajapaksa is a money/wealth greedy politician. He has
accrued a substantial amount of wealth within eighteen years and distributed it
within his circle overseas in Benami’s name(s). Here we have to bring the
culture of wealthy greedy people of the world.
Between September 1959 and March
1960, an MP W. Dahanayake was sworn in as the Prime minister on the death of
SWRD Bandaranaike. Dahanayake came to the parliament wearing only underwear to
expose that Sri Lanka is going down on economic collapse. This was in 1959.
Then when Srimavo assumed power in July 1960 the economy was on the decline.
When Srimavo was re-elected in 1970 she took some austerity measures to
restrain the forex issues. However, like the character of Wolves and Hyenas, she
also interfered with contracts. Srimavo was responsible for the killing of
several tens of thousands of JVP youngsters in the 1971 insurrection. She was
stripped from citizenship by JR Jayawardene. I remember the days we grew
Cassava in our backyard and licked Palm
Candy with tea in the 70s.
The worst act she did commit is
the killing of JVP youths. She was not born to a true Sinhala family. Please

If he becomes a billionaire like
Bill Gates or Ambani, a hard-working able person cannot be considered a corrupt
person. However, a person who entered politics and becomes a billionaire
is corrupt. The power associated with their political portfolio will protect
them.
In the third world, democracy
cannot be construed as ideal democracy. The elections conducted are not free
from corrupt practices. Mainly collateral is a prerequisite form in Sri Lankan
elections and they justify their corrupt practice. The money that they spend
for the election is accrued while they are in power. Therefore, the people are
also at fault for the economic deterioration. People do not understand “Supply
& Demand”. No understanding of imports and exports. Working hard may
not be a prerequisite. However, working effectively and efficiently is important
for a growing country.
Hence
“Knowledge is Power”
