We’ll end politics of jumping here and there for privileges, money, and ministerial posts – Anura Dissanayake
The politics of jumping here and there for the sake of bounties, money and ministerial positions should be ended says the leader of the National People’s Power Anura Dissanayake,
He emphasized this, addressing the Muslim Brotherhood rally held at Byagama, Malwana region, last night (8).
He said, “There is a group of people gathered here who have great dedication and hard work to bring the message of the National People’s Power to the Muslim people scattered all over the country. A new president will be appointed to our country on September 22. The person doing a temporary job would indeed not get elected. We have come to meet all of you to ask for the victory of the National People’s Power in this presidential election. Many people in the villages have done politics related to the Muslim Congress. However, this presidential election is not held to send someone from the Muslim Congress to the Parliament. It is an election to hold a presidential election and choose a person to lead the country. If you expect one of your leaders to be sent to Parliament, vote in the general election. But we invite you to come together to make the National People’s Power victorious in the presidential election.
A lot of political talk and messages are not needed now. Even if you look closely at the events these days, you can decide who you want to choose. Nalaka Godaheva got the most votes in Pohottuwa in Gampaha district. Nalaka Godaheva of Pohottuwe is now in Sajith’s SJB. Nalaka Godahewa, who represented the government that incited racism and got Muslims who died in the covid epidemic cremated while they were buried in other countries, is with Sajith. The likes of Nalaka Godahewa had a hand in making the cremation decisions, which caused pain to the Muslim people. Prasanna Ranatunga, who was second in command of Pohottuwa, is with Ranil. G.L Piris, the chairman of Pohottuwa. Is with Sajith, and where is Sajith’s president, Fonseka? The S.J.B. chairman is out while the pohottuwa chairman is in SJB. Don’t you want to stop this politics? Today, in our country, there is a politics where MPs jump here and there for the booty, money, and ministerial posts. This politics should end.
The Pohottuwa that nurtured the poison of racism has broken into three parts today. After the end of the war in 2009, there was an expectation of the people that the Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims would build a country where they would live in harmony. None of those who ruled wanted to build a country where the people lived in harmony. They always want a country where there are conflicts, there are wars, and they spread hatred among each other. Did you vote for Chandrika to stop corruption and fraud? Did you expect her to build the country? No. Because of the bomb that exploded in the municipal ground. Mahinda was chosen in 2005 because of the war. Both Mahinda and Fonseka became candidates in 2010 because of the war. Fonseka became a candidate as the army commander who ended the war. But Mahinda Rajapaksa won the election. He did not have the slogans of building the economy, stopping fraud and corruption, consolidating democracy and building national unity. A conflict started again in 2015. Then, Muslims were made victims. Tamil people were till 2010. Then a systematic opposition to Muslims was built. Digana and Aluthgama were attacked after the war. Different racist organizations were formed against the Muslim people, not during the war, but after the war. After the end of the war in the north, they wanted a conflict again, so a big protest was launched in Maharagama. Thilanga Sumathipala was on that stage. Today, Thilanga Sumathipala is holding hands with Sajith Premadasa. How can that happen? Propaganda was carried out against the Muslim people, saying that there was sterile food and sterile clothes. Pohottuwa discovered that people become sterile after wearing clothes. In Ampara, pohottuwa discovered that when a certain food was eaten, they became sterile. Everyone knows that there are a lot of suspicious facts about the Easter attack that happened after that. We sincerely invite everyone to come together during the presidential election on the 21st to end this kind of ugly political culture.”
