PROTESTORS OR HOOLIGANS?
11 July 2022
Gajalakshmi Paramasivam
Today is the
birth anniversary of my cousin Krishna who was murdered by those who took the
law into their hands – and called it ‘Freedom Fighting’. This article is in honour
of Krishna’s branch of our family, to whom I am connected at root level.
The Australian
medium ABC calls those who invaded homes
of leaders ‘protestors’. As a law-abiding Sri Lankan, I am ashamed of their show
of ‘looting’ habit – under the guise of ‘protests’. If this behaviour is rewarded,
Sri Lanka would suffer from permanent war.
As if to confirm
this an LTTE admirer wrote to me as follows, in response to my article ‘LTTE KARMA INHERITED BY SINHALESE’:
Hi Gaja,
I don't believe in karma. LTTE had to
alienate or kill traitors within. For any construction, there has to have some
destruction. To make an omelette you need to break a few eggs. Prabakaran was
offered the position of Chief Minister of North but declined to say Eelam
constitute North and East. He was never after any pathavi as such in fact he
always maintained that when the war is over he would fade away. How did the
current younger generation of Sinhalese are wanting a leader such as Prabakaran
to lead their country?
(Note – pathavi means
status)
I
acknowledge that you do not believe in karma. But Karma keeps writing itself.
You say [Prabakaran was
offered the position of Chief Minister of North but declined to say Eelam
constitute North and East.]
Who offered it to him? NOT the People and
VP (Prabhakaran) knew this. Was it CBK ? If yes LTTE would have bombed a
mosque. That is the power of Buddhism foremost article.
You say [He was never
after any pathavi as such in fact he always maintained that when the war is
over he would fade away.]
You are ignorant . VP needed the Executive
Power to kill his Opposition. Without that he would not have been able to
command his cadre -most of whom were ignorant of democracy.
You say [he always
maintained that when the war is over he would fade away]
If that were true he would not have been
killed in 2009. Are you saying ‘he faded away – ready to return after GR left?
That makes him a coward!
As per my intuition, I have repeatedly
published the JVP influence in this ‘protests’. It may not have been planned.
The most recent one was on 07 July under the title ‘COMMUNIST
TAKEOVER’. The full text of the ‘intelligence report’ mentioned in
the article, is in the Appendix. The communication began with ‘JVP is planning to overthrow Gota and the SLPP Government in one clean
blow by the end of this week with the help of FSP’.
Saturday, 09 July, was the end of the week. That
was when hooliganism was let loose by those who took over ‘protests’. Here in Sydney,
I had had direct experience of the FSP leader Premakumar Gunaratnam at Sri Lanka Reconciliation Forum Sydney. On the basis of my
direct experience by living with the LTTE without any position, I connected the LTTE insurrection to caste.
Then one-time attorney general of Sri Lanka Mr Sunil de Silva PC,
said that the JVP insurrection was
also based on caste. Then Mr Premakumar Gunaratnam who was a visitor –
out-ruled the former Attorney General and stated that it was due to ‘unemployment’
and not caste. In truth they were the same. In facts – they took different
forms. Both are sacred and sovereign. But Mr Premakumar Gunaratnam overruled
the official in law and thus lost the support of Sovereignty. Suppression of an
Equal leads to loss of Sovereign power – in the same way denial of junior’s earned
status does. Equal Opportunity laws are based on this sense of independence. Here
in Australia and Mr Premakumar Gunaratnam acted in breach of Australian
law. As per Wikipedia, this karma was taken to Sri Lanka from Australia:
The
Ministry of External Affairs said that Gunaratnam was in violation of
immigration laws and for that he was deported. ….
Gunaratnam
was arrested in November 2015 for violating Immigration and Emigration Laws
after arriving in the country on a tourist visa. He was released on 2 December
2016 after serving his prison term. He received Sri Lankan citizenship in
February 2017 and was directed to remove his Australian citizenship.]
That placed him in the
same cultural group of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa – but as his opposition.
The beauty of Opposition is that when it is true to itself, it knows its Equal
Opposition. If minorities were true to themselves – they would identify with
their Equal half in majority group. But this natural power is lost when they take
a relative position as senior or junior to that ‘other person’.
Now if JVP-FSP coalition takeover power – they would irreparably
damage the value of Peaceful Protests in Sri Lanka.
Appendix
JVP is planning
to overthrow Gota and the SLPP Government in one clean blow by the end of this
week with the help of FSP. Then the JVP leader Comrade Anura will assume
Executive Presidency and form a JVP-FSP Government making Comrade Kumar the
Prime Minister. Comrade Anura will call a state of emergency and take charge of
the triforces and the police. They have an impressive plan to radically
transform Sri Lanka. Following is the 6 months plan which Comrade Anura was
alluding to just yesterday. First thing they will do is immediately nationalize
large private properties such as tea and rubber estates across the country
owned by local and foreign nationals. They will also nationalize top export
businesses including MAS and Brandix. The JVP-FSP government is planning to
nationalize private banks such as Commercial and Sampath as well. The idea is
to secure the foreign reserves held by the private sector. This will allow them
to repatriate all export revenue to the country within a short period. It is
justified because there is no other way to raise the funds needed to import
fuel, fertilizer and other essential items quickly. This will be welcomed by
the majority of poor people in Sri Lanka and the plan is to announce that all
revenue will be distributed among the poorest segments. The JVP-FSP Government
will freeze all personal and corporate bank accounts exceeding Rs. 2.5 million
and charge one time progressive tax called the Social Tax reaching upto 50% on
savings exceeding 20 million. This is to quickly raise the Rupees needed for
the fiscal deficit. This is a brilliant plan to tax the richest people all the
while getting the support of the majority poor segments of the society. NPP
experts have already made the calculations to the last digit for this purpose.
With these two immediate moves they will have enough funds for two years to run
the government without any issues. They have another ingenious plan to
nationalize all luxury vehicles including SUVs. They already have the database
of all the government officials who had sold their vehicle permits. Their
intelligence service is absolutely impressive. The plan is to sell all luxury
vehicles to Africa as spare parts. This will not only massively reduce vehicles
on the roads but also cut the demand for fuel in half. Another brilliant move.
They have already planned to import 5,000 new buses and a number of new train
compartments using this money. All private sector buses will be nationalized as
well. This will equalize the society and allow all citizens to travel on public
transport easily. Simultaneously the JVP-FSP Government will nationalize all
telecommunications companies such as Dialog, Mobitel, Hutch and mass media
companies such as Derana, Hiru, Swarnavahini, Siyatha as they all use public
bandwidth. In Fact they are planning to consolidate the telcos and form one
state operator. Good news is that they want to give free data to all of us at
all times. This will be liked especially by the youth who are struggling these
days with connectivity. Freelancers will be happy and it will lead to more USD
income. They will also consolidate the mass media companies by incorporating
them into Rupavahini and ITN. This way they get complete control of the mass
media. An essential tactic to maintain control. And through one telco, they can
monitor any political conspiracy or uprising. They have very carefully thought
about everything. The JVP-FSP Gov will launch a state sector crackdown on
corruption starting from the Customs. They are planning to simply replace all
customs officers with FSP members who are all graduates and are loyalists to
the cause. This will put an immediate end to all the bribing and corruption
taking place at the customs. Imagine the money that will be saved and the taxes
that can be raised! Finally, we can get rid of the corrupt muslim merchents and
their monopoly. The same technique will be used to clean up the entire public
sector by replacing the politically appointed henchmen with fresh local
university graduates only. Comrade Anura wants a young public service. So There
will be a mandatory early retirement for all bureaucrats aged 50. This is a
great way to employ the disgruntled youth. NPP experts will be appointed to
lead the state enterprises. They are the most qualified to do the job. There is
also a plan to nationalize the supermarket chains such as Arpico, Keells and
Cargils and incorporate the entire supply chain to Sathosa. The JVP-FSP Gov
wants to curb the imported foods while distributing local produce to all
citizens at an affordable and standard price. And they will also nationalize
the large private rice mills such as Araliya, Rathna and Nipuna. This will end
the age old rice mafia for good. Yet another brilliant move. These can only be
done by somebody strong, experienced and patriotic like Comrade Anura. Their
research shows that the vast majority of people will welcome these radical
changes-for-good
