“distorted facts spread by the global network of the LTTE”
We applaud his govt’s response to the Killing Fields Documentary which was so good that they are now making a second programme.
“the effects of the destructive violent culture that prevailed over the last 30 years could be eliminated. Many more changes need to be done in this regard.”
Yes an increase in gangsterism and militarisation are his logical solutions to 30-year civil war.
“countries that respect democracy are gradually accepting the position being explained by us, having given due consideration to hard facts.”
Only countries that dis-respect democracy are endorsing his govt openly. This is his usual way of re-phrasing criticism by UK and Canada as good news. I wonder what brilliant excuse he will be employing when they boycott 2013 summit? The Canadian and British PM unfortunately were not unable to attend but send their best wishes regardless!
“We need to understand that forced solutions cannot be imposed to resolve our internal issues by getting trapped to external forces”
‘External’ forces helped make Tamil as a national language and introduced provincial councils. So we prefer that route instead of ‘internal’ solution consisting of Govt sponsered anti-Tamil riots and killing of civilians with heavy artillery.
“People have no fear any more, that their children will be grabbed by the LTTE.”
Yes, instead they fear they will be grabbed by EPDP and TMVP cadres overseen by 200000 sinhala soldiers in North-East.
“with the intention of separating the people of the North from the rest of the country, are now being expeditiously rebuilt.”
Indeed the need to construct victory monuments to SL army and help the soldiers’ employment prospects as tourism guides for Sinhala people visiting from down South is very pressing indeed!
“A dialogue has commenced to address the political concerns of the minority”
Is the dear President going to elaborate further on this dialogue? As all we are hearing from his govt is criticism of TNA.
“also necessary to restore a peaceful surrounding to enable the Sinhalese and the Muslims who were compelled to leave, to resettle in such areas.”
By ‘peaceful surrounding’ he means using his mono-ethnic sinhala army to conviscate vast tracts of land belonging to Tamil families for sinhala settlers down south.
“I announced in the last Budget to grant Rs. 100,000 at the birth of the third child of any member of the security forces”
The security forces are overwhelmingly sinhala in composition so all these extra financial payments will be a nice reward for the majority community. Would he also like to give some financial aid to the widows and mothers of Tamils whom his security forces abducted, bombed and murdered? Of course not!
“May the blessings of the Sacred Tooth Relic, be with you all!”
Bless you as well sir and we look forward to your next aborted visit to the Oxford Union.
We all saw what happend during your budget presentaion in the house, first, you build a party that you can proud of!
Hey where you people are living. we are enjoying the life now, are you so mad when we are doing OK in sri lanka, while you people are suffering from so called bull shit democracy in C… U.A etc.
.
MR says: “May the blessings of the Sacred Tooth Relic, be with you all!”
Will he allow Dalai Lama to visit and get blessings of the Sacred Tooth?
Pillai,
“Bless you as well sir and we look forward to your next aborted visit to the Oxford Union.”
Yes, you coward tiger rump can only bark hiding behind your white masters legs….
Don’t even dream of coming to Sri Lanka!
To our credit, we can list many of our proud accomplishments (Of course, we do not care how the internationals rate them). Above all, I am humbly proud that we destroyed thousands and thousands of Tamil citizens (are they?)in the name of putting an end to LTTE terrorism in May 2009, and instilled state terrorism specially in the north and east. What more achievements do we need for better living in this island?
But, i do not like to live with eith terrorists or war criminals.
Yeah, Yeah, we have heard all these before but no action!
How about getting rid of the thugs in the Party and corrupton at the top to begin with. That will create a trust in you by the people. Without that these words are EMPTYYYY slogans ONLY!
Your word mean nothing to us any more,you r appearance is sick for us,now,Your kangaroo courts are the sign if distrust uus .Your not our leader any more.you could havr change these situation, but your are the same currupted power hungry,ego maniac shit for us now, you may rotten in hell for unsecerten years to come.please god help us
Dear SL it seems you are unable to read English properly as I have made several comments against Prabhakaran and the LTTE so your brilliant rationale of calling me a Tiger probably reflects more on you than me. That last threat you made against me coming to Lanka is the logical reply we expect from a corrupt regime and their supporters who’s only solution to Sri Lanka’s complex problems are thuggery, brutality and threats
You want us to build the nation while grow Kuddos and thagas. Come on President. You are gradually losing the grip of taking the country to right direction.
Lofty Ideas.High numbers.Promises galore.
Looks good on paper.
Was this the budget that was coninued to be read by the president while some MP’s the terrorist rump of the government threw bottles and went on the rampage.
Oh dear what a calamity and an insult to their own president in parliament.
Where will all the money come from?
When it comes from countries that ‘respect democracy’!!!!!
3/4 will slide into the pockets of the progeny of
‘Our father D A Rajapakse’.—AMEN
why the blessings of the tooth relic?
is this another Rajapakse ‘start up scheme’
Has Rev Dalai Lama made a request to get the blessings of Lord Buddha’s Sacred Tooth Relic in Kandy?
Runs on the Board are pretty impressive.
GDP is 8 Plus consecutively.
Per Capital increased two fold in 5 years.
Current trends point to USD 4000 in the near term.
86th place among the most desirable country to do business with, and ahead of our powerful neighbor.
IMF ticks off this Budget as pro growth.to the utter disappointment and disgust of the Neo Capitalist Opposition.
Development of infrastructure with in the last 5 to 6 years is unreal.
The next 18 year development plan for the country is also very impressive.
Freeways joining the North South East and West by freeways, designated Nature reserves and green living areas, interspersed with high tech Industries and Tourist locations seem good ,sustainable development to provide a good standard of living for the inhabitants.
The UN assigned 0.691 for Srilanka in their HDI index is a clear indication that the inhabitants are on their way to a better future after a hiatus that lasted nearly three decades.
.
Yes, long time ago.
.
All this will happen, only if the international pressure continues.
“Runs on the Board are pretty impressive”
Your govt needs to start putting up some impressive numbers with regards addressing human rights allegations and reconciliation so that they don’t get clean-bowled ‘Malinga-style’ by Harper, Cameron et al in 2013
The following heading would have reflected the real situation in the country “We are committed to build a Nation of thugs, murderers, rapists, robbers and should be proud of them”
$100,000 at the birth of the third child?
Promoting population explosion while thousands of children are under the poverty line and are abused?
Funny,er?
100,000 prize is for a “sinhala child”. Discrimination as usual. Who is worried about the starving Tamil children? This is what you call reconciliation according to “Mahinda Chinnthanava”
Gamage,
You all should be very proud also,of the manner in which you all butchered tens of thousands of mainly unarmed sinhala youth in 1971 & in 1987/88/89.
In addition, 15 human rights lawyers, including Liyanarachi who died of torture at two police stations, were killed.
One infamous SSP arranged a semicircle of 21 severed heads of JVPers in front of his office as a warning to the rest.
What you did to your own kith & kin was later practised on tamils – batches of tamil civilians were butchered periodically by the army and police, without any reason whatsoever.
