UN PANEL IS COMING AND WANSA HAS FORGOTTEN DEATH FASTS: JVP
The UN panel on human rights violations is coming and the Wansa has forgotten all about those death fasts, says former parliamentarian of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna, Samantha Vidyaratna.
Addressing a group of party members in the Ikiliyagoda area in Mahiyangana, he said that one had to remember that there was a big difference between developing the nation and hiding behind a cover of patriotism for one’s own personal gain.
“There were many who were harping and barking with patriotism. When the UN chief was appointing a panel to look into human rights violations said to have taken place in Sri Lanka, there were some who embarked on fast-unto-death campaigns.
“Now that panel is coming to Sri Lanka to look into it and suddenly, the Kakkutu Wansa has forgotten all about those death fasts.
“So we must remind them that the way to develop the nation is one thing and making use of patriotism for one’s own personal gain is another,” said Vidyaratna.

JVP is so without a solid vote base among the people today. They have now reduced to cheap tactics of ridiculing patriotic politicians who care for their motherland and the heroic patriotic defence forces that liberated all the citizens of motherlanka from the evil fascist LTTE terrorists.
Politicians and large masses of people demonstrated against UNSG appointment of a panel to ‘advise him about allegations of war crimes in the final War of Liberation against LTTE’, and their attempt to visit SL to pursue a biased investigation. UNSG is a puppet of imperial West and diaspora LTTE. Hon President has gone back on his promise to the country that this biased UNSG panel will not be allowed to set foot on this sacred island. All political parties should now rally together again to keep this biased UNSG panel out, and beseech the UN office in Colombo, and insist the President honour his word to the people who elected him to keep the evil panel out.
