JRJ and Black July

History repeats.

It is 40 years from the Black July.

JRJ created it and his nephew is going to recreate it.

It is a strange coincidence!

I would like to make it clear that I have no intention of arousing emotions.

I would like to remind the people to be wide awake and mindful of the SLPP/UNP coalition that is trying to bring out the hatred against the Tamil Community, again.

They will try out various methods.

Carrot and Stick philosophy.

I left Ceylon in, 1979 and returned in 1988 and I was not privy to all the violence in Ceylon.

It was SLFP guy Mathews who started it.

By the way his son married a Tamil lady doctor (I worked with her briefly in Colombo Hospital in the same department) and it was not unnatural for Tamil and Sinhala marriages, in Colombo 7 (families), those days.

But JRJ started it all.

He ordered Police to open fire Tamils in Jaffna (peacefully hoisting black flags).

The word Black came from the Black Flags, I believe.

JRJ president, just like current RW was not elected by people.

He imposed that post on himself by changing the constitution.

There was no request for any changes in the state of affairs and the British Parliamentary System was generally acceptable to all political parties.

There were no list MPs or proportional representation.

He change the system upside down.

That is why I still stand against this post and claim that it should be abolished.

We need to change the Constitution in Totality with public discussion.

In fact, we have created such a document and GR / MR combo drastically changed its clauses and  increased the power of the president.

RW of course, helped to shelf it.

If we are to recover from UNP onslaught we need to get rid of this megalomaniac guy legally and not by Artificial Revolution.

He had only 2.5% support in the last election and he is trying, craftly to carve  a portion for himself.

Nobody should vote for UNP and SJB.

Both should be ousted next time round.

JRJ/RW created the racial animosity and for the sake of racial harmony, along with SLPP their vote bank should be reduced to below 5%.

By the way there are 78 other parties left to choose.

Anyway, my prediction is a hung parliament.

There is no guarantee,  the other guys who would come to power would be more benevolent.

The best thing is to let the things to drag on, a little bit more.
Then this guy's impotency would be exposed.

An early election is bad for the opposition!

I am going to stop talking about politics no sooner, the elections are declared.

In any case, I am out of the country and that is why I could voice my opinion openly. If I remained and voiced my opinion, I would be eliminated by strange circumstances.

All alternative media guys are suppressed by Police by default and already they fear for their lives.

That is how democracy works under RW.

He is no different to his uncle JRJ.

Please remember the Batalanda when he was the young Education Minister.

He is an antithesis to democracy.
