Staff at the television broadcaster on Thursday released the minister they had taken hostage after his aide manhandled their director, company officials.(December, 28, London, Sri Lanka Guardian) The President’s dubious conduct of dismissing the Sri Lankan Airline CEO Peter Hill by canceling his work permit for not facilitating his entourage to the UK with his 35 odd bandwagon to attend a private function of his son is now compared with the action he had taken to retain his thuggish Minister of Labour Mervyn Silva until his inquiry findings are known.
The brute Minister’s conduct at the Rupavahini TV station is well evidenced and only action required is immediate sacking of the Minister and then conduct an inquiry. But the President has decided to play his standard drag his feet game by not sacking the Minister immediately.
The President did not follow the same procedure when he dealt with the CEO Peter Hill. His determination to get rid of the CEO instantly without waiting for the inquiry findings reveals his selective approaches to matters that involve him personally.
Both events confirm the President’s ludicrous dealings and his judgmental capacity as the leader of the nation.
Within his two years term in office, the President has appointed many committees to investigate and so far none seems to have come out with their report or even presumably the reports may have been kept hush-hush somewhere.
The prominent of the inquiry is about the public display of the nude bodies of the Tamil Tiger suicide cadres few months ago. These cadres carried out a daring dawn raid at the Anuradhapura Air force base. The two inquiries carried out on this sordid affair have been silently put aside by the government.
It is believed the inquiry ordered by the President against the gangster Minister is to take the immediate heat out of the public and to facilitate the gangster Minister to remain in office indefinitely.
