The closed screen has lifted, revealing the play in its bare

form. Notably, during Harin Fernando’s time,

significant strides were made in the realm of sports. So

is the Director General of Sports.

But when they do something other than what is required

of the game based on them, it is not permissible to give

an apology as a guarantee of ‘good work’ done by them.The situation of Harin, who is now Sri Lanka’s rugby

and minister, is the same. For instance, during Asanga

Senaviratne’s tenure as President of Sri Lanka Rugby,

the Sri Lanka Rugby was fined for employing foreign

players to represent the country, and that fine is still

being paid. In this matter, the Ministry of Sports,

overseen by the Government of Sri Lanka, has taken no

action. It is concerning that Sri Lanka Rugby has also

remained inactive. Although the responsible officials

from that time should be held accountable, the

responsibility has been shifted with the government’s

approval. Such actions are nothing more than tribal

deeds disguised in men’s attire.

Asanga, a friend of the Asian Rugby president for four

years, has been his match committee chairman because

there is no penalty. When Harin, who has been proven

to have committed a wrongdoing by the law, has to

leave the minister ship and councillorship, he is given

the counsel of the same ministry so that he gets that

power indirectly.

Ranil Wickramasinghe without any shame by giving the

opportunity to preserve the politics and sports club

harmony with the criminals influencing the Sri Lankan

rugby constitution is like doing what we want no matter

how annoying it is even if it looks like a vote.We have openly exposed the behind-the-scenes actions

of the Asian President, Asanga, and the dirty games

played by the ministers of this country. Then, in the face

of the attempts made to shackle the writing by making

phone calls through various high-ranking people, there

was an obstacle to continuously update and write the

writings based on the honesty and fair information in

these articles.

The problem with the Asian President regarding Sri

Lanka comes from the fact that he did not use the Sri

Lankan vote to come to power. This situation arose

during Lasitha Gunaratne’s presidency.

Asanga Senaviratne was among the Sri Lankan Rugby

Executive Committee members who supported voting

for the current Asian President. Another was Rizly

Illyas, who faced significant pressure from the Asian

President until he eventually stepped down from his

position. The worst thing is that Lasitha, Asanga and

the Asia President, together with the politicians and

government officials of Sri Lanka fell into the same

group against Rizly Illyas and obstructed the

administration of Rizly Illyas.At that moment when politics intervened to the point of

banning Sri Lankan rugby, the Asian Confederation

created a situation where Sri Lankan rugby was banned

based on the same fact and not allowed to compete even

using the Sri Lankan flag. While being the president of

the committee.

Now the situation is becoming clearer. Sri Lankan rugby

has sought to preserve its position and maintain its

social status. They have aimed to keep Sri Lanka Rugby

under their control, branding it as ‘our rugby.’

Government officials have leveraged Asia’s influence

and, through it, the support of the World Congress to

shape the operations in Sri Lanka according to their

interests.

We also explained earlier about Harin Fernando’s use

of his political power, the saintly life of the Director

General of Sports, who is a person who appeared as a

white figure in his administrative life, who is in a high

religious position. But without working according to the

existing constitution, Harin as the political leader of the

game could not reject the proposal brought by the

regional associations when an acting administration

used the same identity of the administration that came

into power as a vassal and danced as a puppet in Asia.He dissolved the association. He entrusted the task of

cleaning up the dirt to his public officer, the Director

General.

When the director general said that we should punish

the people who brought Sri Lanka rugby into

international disrepute for a long time, the minister

involved appointed the acting president of the

association, who was disbanded due to allegations of

not fulfilling administrative responsibilities properly, as

the facilitator. When the ombudsman appointed by the

sports minister wrote letters to the minister about the

need for and importance of conducting an investigation

regarding these historical stories and frauds, a person

facing the same accusations is continuing the work

without any hindrance keeping the director general and

the ministry secretary as a facilitator.

Regarding the election and the necessary constitutional

amendments, the Director General of Sports should

conduct an official election to discuss and decide, in

coordination with the International Federation, where

and how the existing structure should be changed. This

responsibility should be left to the incoming rugby

administration. However, when discussing the

constitution was declared a forbidden topic, the Director

General halted the special general meeting.This suggests that, before holding a General Meeting

and office elections, the constitution of Sri Lankan

rugby has been manipulated to control those claiming

authority over it. Reasonable doubts have arisen that the

Director General has been entrusted with this

responsibility by political figures and a circle of friends.

The office election has still not been held. The ministry,

backed by political power, is refusing to conduct the

election and is acting in disregard of the court’s decision.

It is unethical to go beyond the responsibility of

facilitating the election process and attempt to coerce

constitutional changes. The most ugliest aspect is that

the Director General, who is molding Sri Lanka rugby

to his liking, requested the Sri Lankan team to

participate under the approval of the Asian Association

Competition Committee Chairman.

This same Asian association did not allow the ruggers

under the ministry to participate in the Asian

tournament. Now not only in Asia but also in the world,

based on the help of some individuals, efforts are being

made to place Sri Lankan rugger under the control of

some people and take away the existence of rugger and

the administrative rights assigned to it and place it in a

class.In the history of rugby in Sri Lanka, the game has been

good in areas like Lindula, Uva and Talduwa. It is

certain that the influence of the whites was also there. A

program to bring national level players to the rugby

game in those areas should be re-enacted. Even now,

rugby players who drop out of school can be supported

through matches organized by regional associations.

This allows major sports clubs to identify and elevate

them to the national level later.

The Ministry should also work to support and develop

local rugby within the existing system. When Harin

Fernando was brought in, he was a figure introduced

into political life through the votes of the people of Uva,

a region with a rich rugby history that deserves to be

revitalized. But today under the rule of Ranil

Wickramasinghe, while the high officials who confirm

his own security are also connected to Ruger, the

contract of handing over Sri Lankan Rugby to several

sports clubs with restaurants where people of Ranil’s

class often meet and have fun is taking place.We have pointed out several times before the drama of

government officials including Harin, who was the

Minister of Sports, and the Secretary of the Ministry, the

Director General of the Development Department

trying to make Sri Lanka a place where Ranil pretends

to be a place where Sri Lanka is talking about

digitalization. And now the screen is open on the stage

to watch it perform naked.

We only see that the politicians and government

officials who use their shamelessness in such a rogue

way and do nothing for the people who need to be

punished and treat them as elites and behave according

to their agenda, cannot cover up the ugly nakedness

with the scumbag tie performances. The behavior of the

Sports Ministry under President Ranil Wickremesinghe

is not gentlemanly. Tribal performances dressed like

gentlemen. Instead of justice and equality where there

should be a place of development, you have decided the

most suitable for the drama. Most of the stories we have

told so far are easily recognizable now while still being

naked, the screen is open.At a time when Ranil Wickramasinghe and Harin

Fernando are talking about modernity, digital world,

justice for all, decentralization of facilities, they are

showing that they have some privileged group with

examples of how they use public officials. It is not fair

to everyone, but their appearance is based on the need

to satisfy them.
