DON’T BE SURPRISED IF GOVT. WANTS TO MAKE PARLIAMENT AN AUTHORITY: GAYANTHA
September 20, 2010: It is not surprising if the government took steps to convert the parliament into an authority as well, says parliamentarian Gayantha Karunathilaka, media spokesman of the United National Party (UNP).
He expressed these views while addressing a media briefing at the Opposition leader’s office this morning.
“The Colombo Municipal Council has been dissolved and from what we see, the government is planning on converting it into an authority.
“The government is aware that they can never win over the Colombo Municipal Council. If this continues, the government, which travels along a dictatorial path, will soon close down the parliament and convert it into an authority citing development reasons,” said Gayantha.
He also expressed views on the process followed in getting the 18th Amendment approved.
“Many in the government consistently called the executive presidency a demon and cited its seriousness. Now, they have completely thrown away the 17th Amendment to the Constitution and the 18th Amendment to the Constitution has been endorsed with a mere head count. They passed the 18th Amendment in a rush by granting various privileges,” pointed out Gayantha Karunathilaka.

These guys are dreaming. They have absolutely no clue whatsoever on how to emancipate the long suffering Sinhala Buddhist Citizenry of the Democratic Republic of Sri Lanka. Who cares if the Parliament is made into an Authority? Who cares about names? Who cares about governing strutures? What matters most is the social economic emancipation of the Sinhala Buddhist Citizens who were redeemed from the clutches of the terrorist tamil community by the President, HE Mahinda Rajapaksa, after 30 long years.
The 18th Ammendment of the Constitution was passed by an overwhelming majority of MPs in Parliament. It was a democratic act. We should rejoice about it. But ofcourse there are always the fools who cry, “Grapes are sour”. Fortunately these fools are in the minority.
The Colombo Municipality was led by a band of brigands, which included three wheel drivers. They were nicely enriching themselves. They served their petty self interests and not the common good. Isn’t it time therefore we ended this farce for the common good. Whatever our righteous President plans in accordance with the Buddha Dhamma is good not just for our beloved country but as a model of good governance for the whole world. Let us do away with the old corrupt decrepit forms of government and devise new forms for the good of the people based on Buddha Dhamma.

Ganesh is a kotiya, a sleeper, a kallathoni. He pretends to be a Sinhalese. He speaks Sinhala with a tamil accent. eg. he says, ‘Singhala’ instead of Sinhala. These kotiyas need to be rounded-up also before they cause damage to the nation. Some of them are running scared like rats, leaving the country in droves to the West. Hope they sink in the process. Good riddance of these vermin! Ganesh can join them, instead of mudering the Queens English.
