(July 04, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Addressing a Media meeting at the UNP Media unit today (4 Jul) , UNP M.P. Lakshman Kiriella said, the President and his Govt. are precariously prolonging their power by profuse lying on the war situation while killing and harassing the Media and Opposition who expose the truth. For the last two years the President was inviting the people to have kiribath with him during the Sinhala New year celebrating war victory.
People are yet to see his kiribath or his victory flag! He quipped. Of course, he has done one thing for the people; he has brought down their dresses to rags, size of flags and loin cloths, as they are so poverty stricken! Even as recently as this year , he told he will finish the war within months , but, his own Army Chief , Sarath Fonseka contradicts expressing the truth ; he said yesterday , that it is not sure whether or when the war would end .
It is people’s money the Govt. is spending (wasting!) on the war, hence, people have a better right to know than even the Govt. Of the factual situation. Media can’t be intimidated, harassed and killed when they are exposing the factual war situation. The President is also taking dubious measures even to keep the Parliament in the dark, although it is the supreme people’s representative body authorised to control Govt. expenditure, he added.
If the Govt. has followed the UNP’s consistent policies and advice, neither the country and people, nor the Govt. would be in this disastrous position, he exclaimed. The Govt. is still unable to give an explanation as to why the high powered Indian Defence Delegation suddenly visited Sri Lanka .The reason is that if the Govt. exposes the truth of the outcome, it will not be able to deceive and burden the people with lies blaming on the war, he exhorted.
