Sri lanka Parliament will dissolve in next week

Sri lanka government decided to dissolve Parliament under the hot condition of politics and they seeks victory for the SLFP governing types by defeating UNP and JVP.

However People says that SLFP government will not be able to win the election by such a margin of votes received by Mahinda Rajapaksha. Because government minsters not proved that they can develop Sri lanka's Economy and overall development.

What thing they are specialized is making rumors against opposition parties mainly against Ranil Wickramasinghe using State owned medias. People needs the development and not just kiddies words against opposition.

Mahinda wins srilanka election

Mahinda Rajapaksha won the presidential election by defeating his main opoosition candidate Sarath Fonseka. Mahinda wins by 1.8 million votes margin than Fonseka.
Mahinda Rajapaksha can retain another 08 year duration in presidential position.

However Sarath Fonseka and his supporting parties says they can noit accept the results because election results are computer manipulated. JVP leader Somwansa Amarasinghe said that Computer Manipulation is not a new thing to Mahinda rajapaksha. During a previous election Mahinda Rajapaksha manipulated computer results to increase his voting counts and he said that by his own.

However Mahinda became the president of srilanka once again and he needs to concentrate on Srilanka Economy and Development rather slinging muds to opposition parties.

We hopes he will get supports from opposition parties and will make a real attempt on stopping the corruption and violence.

Rupavahini and ITN heavily slinging mud towards Sarath Fonseka

This is an abuse of state run media by government. State owned Rupavahini, ITN TV channels and SLBC heavily engaging in slinging mud and publishing evil false reports against Sarath Fonseka. These State medias are properties of people of srilanka. Not private properties of government Ministers or President Mahinda. They abuse srilankans money collected as tax.

Srilankans even blue blooded SLFP supporters are not accept such a crudeness and abuse by State run medias. They should understand that they exhibit such a wild behavior against a world renowned War Hero who committed the life to save our country from bloody terrorists, LTTE.

In addition Sate run Medias such as Rupavahini, ITN, SLBC and Lake House are the free source of advertising for president mahinda Rajapaksha and his beloved son Namal rajapaksha. Namal Rajapaksh'a Tharunyata Hetak organisation greatly engaging in the canvasing of president father.

Sarath Fonseka For presidency

After a long time break we begun to update our blog again with the recent development stories of Srilanka and mainly srilanka politics. Why politics so important?
Politics is inevitably important for most people despite even in the absence of elections and polls.

However the situation has changed in the srilanka. Srilankans now forwarding towards a major poll. Actually it is the main poll in srilankan politics, which is the Presidential Election. Presidential Election was declared by existing president Mahinda rajapaksha before two weeks ago, despite of the fact that he has the full legal power to act as the executive president for next two years.

The new and most talking political face of the srilanka that is going to present to the presidential polls is General Sarath Fonseka. Sarath Fonseka was the head of the Srilanka ARMY who lead the ARMY towards victory by destroying LTTE terrorists and it's leaders from Srilankan soil.

The attempt taken by General Sarath Fonseka and his followers during the times of bloody wars between LTTE and Srilanka government is really great. ARMY wouldn't won the war if there were no Sarath Fonseka and his courage to win. Political leadership during that times provide great support in order to take courage decisions.

Right after the war President Mahinda Rajapaksha made few adjustments to the ARMY and other security forces. As a consequence General Sarath Fonseka and NAVY and SL Air Force heads were retired and new leader appointed.

After being silent for few months President Mahinda unofficially declared his wish to held a presidential election. No one knows the underlying reasons for such a decision. Government saying the reason behind the fact is 'people asked for a presidential election'. But opposition parties who now joined hands with Sarath Fonseka said that 'President Mahinda knows that he won't win in an election held after two years, so he decided to held the polls little time after the Win of the War.

Now all are prepared for the next presidential polls. Two main presidential candidates are current President Mahinda Rajapaksha and Retired ARMY leader Gen. Sarath Fonseka. Who will win the Presidential War ? No one could tell it before the polls. President says he somehow win the polls and Also Sarath Fonseka and opposition said that they have already won the election. OK we will see who wins the election.

UN denies Times Online fake reports

Last Friday a leading News Paper in UK claimed that there were more than 20,000 civilians killed at the final phase of the battle against LTTE. This report directly pointed out the finger on Srilanka government saying that Government hiding the truth. Times Online also said that their report is based on confidential UN Documents about the Srilanka final battle.

Thereafter Times Online and other international news magazines highly criticized the Srilanka government and they also said UN should take offensive action over the Srilanka rather than praising the victory.

However United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Monday denied media reports that the United Nations has covered up a high civilian death toll during the final phase of Sri Lanka's war against Tamil Tiger rebels (LTTE). "I categorically reject - repeat, categorically - any suggestion that the United Nations has deliberately underestimated any figures," ban ki moon told at the General Assembly. "Let me also say, whatever the total, the casualties in the conflict were unacceptably high."

In the last week John Holmes also denied the casualties toll reported by Times Online and French newspaper Le Monde. He said that death toll is just an assumption and no one can say the final death toll.

Tigers (LTTE) are back, Beware !

Srilanka's successful Winning over the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), have made a huge painful back hit to tiger sympathizers all over the world. LTTE sympathizers now attempts to come back in to light by spreading bogus news on the internet.
The latest incident is, the Times Online (UK) reported that they have found evidences of killing of more than 20,000 tamils in the last few days of the final battle against LTTE in Srilanka.

The title of the 02 reports of Times Online were "The hidden massacre: Sri Lanka’s final offensive against Tamil Tigers" : Read the report
and second : "Times photographs expose Sri Lanka’s lie on civilian deaths at beach" Read the report

Those two reports claimed that aerial photographs, unofficial documents, witness accounts and expert testimony present a clear evidence of an atrocity that comes close to matching Srebrenica, Darfur and other massacres of civilians.

Times Online Further says "With the world’s media and aid organisations kept well away from the fighting, the army launched a fierce barrage that began at the end of April and lasted about three weeks. The offensive ended Sri Lanka’s 26-year civil war with the Tamil Tigers, but innocent civilians paid the price."

They says that they have obtained UN's confidential documents which says "nearly 7,000 civilian deaths in the no-fire zone up to the end of April, with an average of 1,000 civilians killed each day until May 19, the day after Velupillai Prabhakaran, the leader of the Tamil Tigers, was killed."

However top UN officials today said they have not published such documents to public and they don't thinks that the existing of such documents of the UN. Times Online's whole story is based on the two pictures taken at a helicopter, which shows the destruction of the flimsy refugee camp and a more orderly military cemetery, believed to be for hundreds of rebel fighters. So what we clearly understands here is Times Online have taken in to account the deaths of LTTE tiger cadres as civilians deaths so that increase the total.

Here is another quote from Times Online Report about massacre "the arrangement of the army and rebel firing positions and the narrowness of the no-fire zone made it unlikely that Tiger mortar fire or artillery caused a significant number of deaths. “It looks more likely that the firing position has been located by the Sri Lankan Army and it has then been targeted with air-burst and ground-impact mortars,”
Just look at the above time's quaote and what do you conclude ?

A fairly biased report and clear attempt to blame the Srilankan government and it's ARMY.
With an unsuccessful effort to providing a fake picture about the issue to the world.
