CONSTITUTION’S PROTESTS
My search gave me the information that Dr Pethiyagoda is officially
recognised including by Australians. His analyses are structured to suit intellectuals.
The question is ‘Did these intellectuals foresee this collapse and if yes ‘what
did they do to prevent it?’ As per Wikipedia :
[On 22 June 2022, Pethiyagoda was
appointed Senior Policy Adviser to Sajith Premadasa, MP, Leader of the
Opposition of Sri Lanka]
This
confirms vested interest in opposing the Protestors. The Protestors are blaming
the whole Parliament for the collapse. The way they measure is ‘effects’ based.
One who is at policy level has the responsibility to measure through ‘causes’.
Dr Pethiyagoda blames Mr Gotabaya Rajapaksa for the
collapse. The above picture taken in 2019 confirms to my mind – that Mr Premadasa
was in his mind, an admirer of Mr Gotabaya Rajapaksa. When one genuinely and
through Due Process available opposes the government at policy level, one
becomes the true opposition of the government. That is how Democracy works, through
the exponential power of Truth. The best example known to me is Mahatma Gandhi
who became part of the labour class. He continuously opposed the British Government
at policy / causal level. His actions were in the form understood by labour
class. The invisible power was belief in Truth / God.
So far no Buddhist leader has highlighted
the imbalance in Buddhism Foremost article in the Sri Lankan constitution. This
means that at voter level, Buddhists would assume leadership over
non-Buddhists. By accepting Buddhism Foremost article since 1972 – Sri Lanka
became a Buddhist country where others were minorities. This President openly ‘showed’
that when he took oaths.
Eelam Tamils who in their minds
live in separated part do not have the power to Oppose this. Only Sri Lankans who
are neither Sinhala / Buddhist nationalists nor Tamil Nationalists have the
natural power to exponentially oppose as Sri Lankan Opposition.
Discussions around ‘going back to
the 19th Amendment level’ are futile. It was proven false by the
Constitutional crisis in 2018 which was within the period of governance of the
architects of the 19th Amendment. It was an act of protest by the Constitution itself.
The Buddhism Foremost article in
the 1972 Constitution was effectively to suppress JVP. It was NOT belief based.
Belief is Absolute power and hence spreads itself. A true Buddhist would have naturally
promoted Equal Opportunity principles – with or without constitutional support.
The law is like senior relatives who raise our standards to the higher level
than our belief. One who practices the law – would eventually believe at the
level of that law. Parliamentarians who act in breach of the law under cover of
their positions – keep lowering the standards of Sri Lanka to their levels of
belief. That is where this President failed by entertaining those who desired
wins over Tamil rebels. Given that this President confirmed commitment to Buddhist
community – while carrying the karma of violent war – he invoked the real
opposition of Sri Lanka – non-Buddhists. That was also a Constitutional
protests. As I say and have been quoted – a wrong becomes a sin once we give up
ownership. Sin – like covid – is exponential in its spread and cannot be
corrected through current ‘rights’. Only positive karma in this can offset the
sin.
