President Mahinda Rajapaksa declared open the Robert Gunawardena Memorial Library Complex in Kaduwela recently which was built with grants from the Kaduwela Pradeshiya Sabha on 07 January. The three storied building complex which cost 70 million rupees to Kaduwela PS is equipped with an auditorium and an office complex. A Children Park has also been built.
Addressing the opening ceremony President Rajapaksa said that there is no use of opening libraries unless parents do not direct their children to regularly visit them to gather knowledge. Parents must urge their children to read not only books and journals but newspapers and magazines as well to improve their knowledge. Recollecting his younger life the President said that he started his professional life at the age of 17 by getting a job at the library of the Vidyodaya University.
The President said that there were attempts by certain elements to create a rift between him and the Chief Justice. One report had said that he had scolded the Chief Justice and certain opposition and anti Sri Lankan groups, NGOs and foreign elements and LTTE sympathizers have got together in the campaign to discredit him, Armed Forces and Sri Lanka.
“They wanted to take me to the electric chair on war crimes allegations. They have asked the European Union not to extend the GSP+ Facility and foreign governments and banks not to approve credit facilities to Sri Lanka,” President Rajapaksa further added. He also commented saying that the main purpose of this malicious propaganda to convince the international community, especially the Western World that Sri Lanka is a failed state and the rulers are war criminals, uncivilized and violate international conventions.
Speaking further, President Rajapaksa said that there must be a collective responsibility among the members of the government, the opposition and the people of country not to tarnish the good image of Sri Lanka in the international arena. He appealed not to engage in this miserable mudslinging campaign as it would do much harm to the country and its people.
Commenting on the development in the areas that come under the purview of Kaduwela Pradeshiya Sabha, President Rajapaksa said Kaduwela is one of the fastest developing towns in the country.
Members of the Maha Sangha, Ministers Susil Premajayantha, Gamini Lokuge, Wimal Weerawansa, Deputy Minister Dulip Wijesekera, MP Thilanga Sumathipala, Western Province Chief Minister Prasanna Ranatunga, Provincial Councilor Upali Kodikara, former Chairman of Kaduwela Pradeshiya Sabha G. H. Buddhadasa and many political leaders of the area were among the large gathering present.

Yes Mr President,
The World is listening to the truth and turning a deaf ear to the rubbish propogated by the Government led by you.
Mr President, the truth does always triumph.
For 30 years fascist psychopath VP and equally psychopathic LTTE leaders lied to the world, propagated disinformation that there is racial discrimination towards the SL Tamil minority. They covered-up the caste discrimination in the Tamil community. LTTE then assassinated fellow Tamil leaders who were moderate, including his mentor and protector, Amirthalingam. VP led a terrorist rabble army which was sponsored, trained, funded and armed by our enemy Indira Gandhi of India through RAW, in order to sabotage and subvert our economy and progress. India has always been our enemy throughout history from BC, and will continue to remain our enemy.
Our heroic righteous leader Mahinda Rajapaksa and his brother Gotabhaya Rajapaksa put a full stop to the world’s fiercest terrorist organisation. USA, Britain and imperial West could not bear it as they sponsored LTTE for vested interests of clipping India’s wings from becoming superpower of SE Asia. USA wanted to remain the top-dog of SE Asia. USA and Britain, to divert attention of the Freeworld from the horrific war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by them in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, pointed finger at MR and GR as war criminals when they are not, but in truth are the saviours of SL Tamil hostages of more than 300.000, from the evil cluthches of VP and the evil LTTE who held them as a human shield against the advancing SL defence forces, in the final War of Liberation. The hostages fled in their thousands across the waters of Nadhikadal lagoon to the SL army side, braving the suicide bomb blasts and automatic gunfire of the LTTE on the orders of the evil VP, who was furious that the SL Tamil hostages deserted him. His eelam dream, which was forced down the throat of most SL Tamils by VP, was in tatters.
Enemies of SL and the GOSL, try to seek revenge from MR and the defence forces by false allegations of war crimes, to divert attention of the world from the real war crimes of USA and Britain. The Freeworld knows the truth. Only rabid pissu ballas like DC are incapable of accepting the truth as they are too full of themsleves, full of shit.
Mr.President barking dogs seldom bite,let western tamil to cry.do not give up your future plans, according to real tamils you have deserve the nobel prize,But unfortunatly you are a srilanken,otherwise things would have been differant.The western tamils will never able to rich their goal,Because real srilanken they enjoy their freedom and peace after the 30years of bloody ruthless Ltte war.God bless mr.president.
