Sanath Jayasuriya coming to politics while still being a national team player

One time master blaster now had entered politics.Any one has the freedom to come to politics but the bad thing is that he had entered to politics while still playing for Sri Lanka National Team.So UPFA had brought politics to current cricket players too.Arjuna Ranathunga and Hashan Thilakarathne came to politics after saying good bye to cricket as they are real Gentleman's according to myself.

He is an outstanding attacking batsman and a good part time spinner who had served the country at many a times without any dought but last 3-4 years he represented national team thanks to the head of Sri Lanka (as Sanath is still his favorite).Many youngsters couldn't get an opportunity as he had being occupying the national team opening batting slot for last few years even without any good batting performance.Cricket is a sport that can make you get lot of dollars in legal way to hand while politics is another way that it helps to get dollars or rupees in legal as well as other way. So all can understand very well what is he up to?(but I hope he will do better for country too like in 1996 worldcup if gets elected!).

Also according to some sources,Current SL Vice Captain Miralitharan is to contest Nuwara Eliya District from UPFA.Some says that these are candidates fielded in UPFA under the support of "Nil Balakaya"(Blue Brigade) of Namal Rajapakse who too contest from Habbanthota but some says Murali was brought to contest by S B Dissanayake. If Sanath wins,he will win with a large number of votes but if he loose,it will by a large margin.Still can't say anything about Murali.

Finally what I have to say is that, it is really bad to bring politcs to national cricket team.Also cricket fans will too get politicized as a result and it will lead to the rapid (as it is already happening to some level)downfall of cricket in Sri Lanka.

Massive Protest by JVP Demanding the release of abducted General Sarath Fonseka while Satyagraha from UNP Kotte Organizer

A massive protest was organized by the JVP was held in Colombo on 16th demanding the government to release General Sarath Fonseka who was abducted (illegally arrested) and is being detained without any charges at Nevy Headquarters.JVP Leader Somanwansha Amarasinghe,Anura Dissanayake and Lal Kanthe addressed the massive protest.This was the only rally (so far held) which was not attacked by either police or government thugs(may be regarding the massive number of protesters!)

Also their had being a Sathyagra in Kotte for the second day organized by UNP Kotte (New)Organizer Shiral Lakthilake.Wife of General Sarath Fonseka (Anoma Fonseka) too participated. She said that General Fonseka is not kept in a Luxurious place as some says and also said that the windows of the flat in which General is detained is closed by planks.She also said that if they hope that they can mentally depress and weaken her husband,they are sadly mistaken.

Ranil Wickramasinghe a clean politician but the weakest party leader in Sri Lanka

In Sri Lanka,a political party leader should have a strong backbone when taking decisions but we don't see it from him since 1994.His party which is the biggest party in Sri Lanka had being now in opposition for nearly 14 years since then.So many party stalwarts had crossed over to government as most of them had understood that under Mr.Ranil Wickramasinghe's leadership, they cannot come in to power (most of the cross overs may not be clean but cannot help under the way Sri Lankan politics is done).

He had appointed as well as favor only politicians who are not a threat to him as well as most organizers are weak political wise in their respective areas.His deputy too is a weak character (who crossed over to the government and then came back!).He does not take any advice from politicians who are well favored and/or respected by common people.

A political party should have politicians who can talk well for the masses at various situations,but now UNP has only very few like that as most had crossed over.Dayasiri Jayasekara,Sajith Premadasa,Buddika Pathirana (Recently emerged) and Ranjan Ramanayake (Recently emerged) and few more.So who knows what will happen for some of them after upcoming General Election?.

Also if he had managed to hold power some how in 2003 current situation wouldn't have occured.Also he had a chance to take power in 2004 election too as UPFA had only 105(+1 EPDP) seats which was a minority and if he had taken the support of JHU.Now the UNP voter base had got eroded to a vast level which is at a situation where recovery is some what very difficult.

UNP had won only 2 elections since 1994,So continuous loosing of UNP is not something for us to wonder..! It will continue as long as he is the leader....!

(UNF is a coalition formed by UNP while PA & UPFA are coalitions of SLFP and some other parties-The Ruling party had a majority support but then President Chandrika Kumaranathunga dissolved the parliament using her executive presidential powers which she later said it was a big mistake done by her in her life).

A war hero, now disabled had being abducted, tortured to force him to sign a letter against General

The disabled war hero, Mr.J. Asoka Kumara of Kusume Gedera who disappeared while serving in General Sarath Fonseka’s Presidential Election Office at Rajakeeya Mawatha in Colombo on the 11th had been dumped on the road after being brutally beaten up.He was faound near Colombo Town Hall on 13th.He was badly injured and had being admitted to Ward No.7 at

Ragama Teaching Hospital according to news sources.

Mr.J Asoka Kumara ( Resident of Ragama) was a former Sergent who got injured while taking part in Jaya Sikuru Operation in 1995 and then had retired on medical grounds as he had being disabled.

He had been forced to sign a letter against General Sarath Fonseka,Once he had being abducted by an unidentified group of people.The letter content the following details and had being told to sign stating they were true.

1.General Sarath Fonseka gave him a firearm.

2.Gen. Sarath Fonseka and Parliamentarian Arjuna Ranatunga had an illicit affair with popular teledrama actress Upeksha Swarnamalee (Paba).

3.That Gen. Fonska had told him that his wife should have an illicit affair with Gen.

Fonseka to get his pension.

When he refused to sign for the first time,they had offered cash which he had refused.Then second time the abductors had cut the disabled war hero’s hair and had plucked hair in the eye brows using various tools.Then they had brutally asulted him asking to sign the letter which was unsuccessfull and later abductors had dumped him on the road near Town Hall

Mr. Kumara has told that he had never seen his abductors before and he couldn’t see where he was being tortured as his eyes were covered when he was taken there.When General Sarath Fonseka contested the presidential election this disabled war hero contributed his service to the General for about 1 and 1/2 months in General’s office.

Sri Lankan Police Brutally Attacks a Buddist Priest and Taken in to custody.Is Sri Lanka heading for another Miyanmar?

A Buddhist priest (Ven. Biyagama Suseela Thero) who spoke against the humalating attack by the police together with government thugs on the demonstration held at Maharagama by Common Oppostion together with people for democracy to protest against the illegal arrest(abduction) of General Sarath Fonseka had being brutally assulted and taken in to custody by Maharagama Police.

A person who objected to the arrest of the Buddhist priest was brutally assaulted and taken into custody too. The journalists covering the event were abused in filthy language and threatened according to news sources from Maharagama.

Is Sri Lanka heading for the same situation like in Miyanmar? (In Miyanmar Oppostion Leader is in custody and so many priests as well as innocent people are brutally attacked & Killed)

Another Demonstration in (Maharagama) Sri Lanka had being brutally attacked by Maharagama Police and Government Thugs

On 11th Feb a group of Government thugs had arrived at the location and attacked the demonstrators as the demonstration was about to commence at about 5.00 p.m.At the same time police riot squad attacked the protestors with tear gas,baton charge as well as water cannon according to the sources from Maharagama.

JVP MP Sunil Handunneththi had arrived at the location to discuss with police officers but he too was targeted by the water cannon. The journalists who were covering the demonstration too were threatened and attacked.

Seven innocent people who joined the demonstration were arrested after brutally attacking them.

General Sarath Fonseka's Abduction by Military Police and the Protest against it

According to many sources it is a abduction.He was the main opposition candidate who was said to have won the Presidential Election 2010 in Sri Lanka but some Ruling Party members had altered the results it seems, in order for their ruling party candidate to further be in power.This has become thrue with the abduction of General Sarath Fonseka.

This is against both common law and military law acoording to well known lawyers in Sri Lanka.Also the funny side is that,if he is taken due to military law he should be kept at some Army building but now he is abducted and kept in a Nevy building.So this is thruly done in order to restrict General S F from signing the election pettion to be filed and to keep him away from contesting the upcoming General Election.

The most respected Mallwatte thero and Asgiri thero condemed the incident and criticized the responsible people for the abduction.

Also the massive protest against the abduction of General Sarath Fonseka was attacked by thugs of government infront of the police(they were protecting the thugs).When the protesters some how managed to chase away the around 30 -50 thugs who came,the police started to chase the protesters in which the police were unsuccessfull as the protesters did not leave the place.

Also their had being protests in all over the country and protests held in Ampara, Kaluthara , Galle,Matara and some other places had being attacked with tear gas by police(is this the so called democracy?).

Following pictures shows the protest against the abduction of General Sarath Fonseka (Second picture shows Anoma Fonseka[Wife of General SF] speaking to media personels. Somawansha Amarasinghe[Leader of JVP] , Kabir Hasheem(UNP), Thissa Attanayake(UNP), Ravi Karunanayake (UNP) and Dayasiri Jayasekara are also in the picture)

Following pictures shows how thugs attacked and how police protected them from protesters.

So is this the begining for another period of bloodshed like in 1971 and 1988?Will wait and see.

What is the Situation in Sri Lankan Politics?

It is only few weeks after the Presidential Election.According to oppostion coalition as well as individual's like Wikramabahu Karunarathne & Sirithunga Jayasuriya,it is a corrupted election and results are made up results.The incidents which occured after election day as well as the massive differnce of around 1,800,000 had created doughts not only in General SF supporters but also in most MR supporters too.

But any how Mahinda Rajapakse is the elected leader(again maharaja!)and he is the president for another (around) 7 years unless somthing happened to him.The upcoming parlimentary election is very likely to win by the UPFA coalition but will not get a large majority.

The oppostion is still has a good chance to get as much seats as possible in parliment and even not allowing UPFA to get majority in parliment,if they work hard.

It is likely that oppostion coalition will contest together under swann symbol but TNA will contest along.It is the only way that the oppostion can have a chance of giving a good fight to the UPFA.If UNF contest along,it is likely to get very few seats mainly due to Ranil factor(Who is very unpopular in South Part of Sri Lanka).Also JVP will not be able to get at least 10 seats if they contest along.

Also the oppostion party leaders should take undated resignation letters from all those who contest from their parties to avaoid (if any) crossing over to government side once they are elected.

With in UPFA their will be definitly a fights for preferential votes between it's own candidates specially in areas like Kaluthara,Galle,Matara and Kurunegala.(Colombo too will have but not that much).This is mainly due to MP's crossed over to UPFA from UNP up to now.

If we take Kaluthara as an example,see the number of head to head contesters of UPFA who are now parlimenterians:Rohitha Abaygunawardena,Mahinda Samarasinghe(Crossed Over),Rajitha Senarathene(Crossed Over),Kumara Welgama,Nirmala Kottalalawala,Nandana Gunathileke,Piyasiri Wijeynayake,Reginold Koorey(Likely to cotest)and Athuraliye Rathana Thero(9 already here).Also the new faces too will try to enter the parliment.The Kaluthara Electorate has only 10 seats.So maximun the UPFA can get is 6-7.

So we have to wait and see if the government can maintain the same amount of votes they secured in Presidential election.

See the following to get a general idea about who got voted in 2004 to parliment:
