The Power Play

Given the opportunity to hit every ball a six in a power play – no batsman will say no. So do I.

“Do you have any comments Prabath? Why are you so silent?” – questioned Anonymous-6, in his comment to Ranil Exported…!

Anonymous-7 joined the party – “This is clearly mud sliding & why you still silent?”

“…but we want you to answer their fucking comments...” Jayanga almost touching the limits.

This is my reply – or playing in a power play. Did I say a poor bowling attack, mostly with wides and no-ballls?

Doesn’t matter how you fluent in your English – when you are hit hard on the top of your head – it’s natural, mother-tongue speaks. Anonymous-1 started gently – not politely, here we go… comes the mother tongue out.

“Nathiwa arakatai, mekatai, kakkussi baratai okkotama Ranilge peace eka kiya kiya kaaa nugaha hitapan bang.”

He has no facts in his comment – just rubbish - will leave it with readers to judge.

I don’t know who JM is. By his comments in another blog, I assume both JM and Bardo are the same. Correct me if not. Bardo, too had his comments to the same post lately.

Just after the first Anonymous [Anonymous -1], JM posted his thoughts,

“Not particularly intelligent - amusing nevertheless.”

Have to agree with this – he talks about the first comment.

“He (Ranil) made lanka gain huge strides economically with the CFA” – here comes Anonymous -2. “He split LTTE into two”, he added.

I like the second part. And I agree as well. If we gained something from the CFA, that is Karuna’ separation. Unfortunately only that:(.

There were few other comments on the CFA as well. So I’ll take them all together.

Get back to the era when the CFA was signed between LTTE and Ranil. It was for the first time in the history the chief of the “international police” – George W Bush got to know that terrorism is a pain. It was a nightmare to see Twin Towers kissing the earth. No American thought this was a possibility. While Bush was talking about an automatic self defense system, Bin Laden crashed into the Pentagon– the glory of US defense took off by surprise.

"As most of the UNPers argue, CFA brought down the number of deaths in SLA. Yes true, why the hell Prabhakaran kills ground level soldiers once the Prime Minister (Ranil) him self has morally killed them."


All in all this lead to the ‘War against Terrorism”. Afghanistan was attacked, Iraq, Iran & North Korea named as the ‘Axis of Evil’. LTTE knew coming colors no good – luckily for them, we had Ranil as our prime minister. At the time LTTE badly wanted to be a “good boy” in front of the international community, Ranil came up with the so called ‘CFA’. LTTE used the CFA as a tool to get rid of the bad time and strengthen their military power. SLA was limited to very few places in north & eastern provinces. But… LTTE continued their terrorist acts. Recruited children as child soldiers, increased and trained their carders, bought much better weapons. Ranil also invited LTTE to participate together with the government in international summits – which gave them the international recognition.

No he stopped from there - took the Tigers all around the world for so called ‘peace talks’, ended in a bullshit. Many western countries had their own internal plans to occupy Sri Lanka. If there’s a way, that is only through LTTE, they knew. One major objective was to sweep the Buddhism from the country.

NGOs came into act, backed by the international power, slowly, but steadily progressed with their agenda. Even the Buddhist MPs in the Ranil’s government kept their mouths shut for ‘dollars’ - a shame, some joined the current government recently.

As most of the UNPers argue, CFA brought down the number of deaths in SLA. Yes true, why the hell Prabhakaran kills ground level soldiers once the Prime Minister (Ranil) him self has morally killed them. But LTTE kept on hunting ‘big guys’ in the game. How many key intelligence unit officers we lost during the CFA?

So, if somebody argues CFA brought ‘luxury’ – better you know Prabhakaran will be the happiest man to see the country ‘luxurious’, under your definition.


"In the Southern province it self Mahinda had a lead over 300,000 votes. This huge lead came from the Tsunami victims, at a time Ranil and his henchmen tried to label Mahinda as ‘Tsunami hora’. It’s a pity, poor Ranil; nothing comes in your way."


Going back to the comments, Jack Point questioned Memory bank,

“…If so why did Prabha facilitate Mahinda's victory?”

I think I made it clear why LTTE entered in to the CFA. They got through their bad period when the entire world is against terrorism – lead by America. Now the force is diluted and LTTE is strong [that is how they think…poh..!], they wanted no more the CFA. They took the advantage of it and made them selves established. They had their spies all over the country. Prabhakaran thought he can win the rest [apart from what they won by CFA] by war. Given him to make a wish – he would have no hesitation today, to rollback his decision to force people in North to boycott the election.

“... my question again does MR say anything against Ranil's MOU after the election... no he just value it and appreciate it...” – questioned Anonymous-14.

I agree with the first part. Yes, he does not talk about the CFA and why he should? Even before Mahinda came into the seat, CFA was hugely violated by LTTE. Once there is no such CFA in practice, why people worry about it. The second part of your comment [I am sorry to say…] nullify the total value of your comment. The effort wasted. You say Mahinda values the MoU and appreciates it – not even an idiot lived in the country for last two years would say such a thing.

“if you think that MR got a mandate for vote, keep it in mind that he didn't receive any majority during the presidential elections. It was the most corrupted election in our history.” – the way the Anonymous-10 thinks.

Yes true, Mahinda won marginally in the election. Given that the poor support he got from his own party lead by CBK then, this is more than a great win. In the Southern province it self he had a lead over 300,000 votes. This huge lead came from the Tsunami victims, at a time Ranil and his henchmen tried to label Mahinda as ‘Tsunami hora’. It’s a pity, poor Ranil; nothing comes in your way. You say it was the most corrupted election in the history. At least don’t you believe the reports given by the so called ‘international community’, where you lick the boots in all the other cases? Don’t try to be funny… try to speak with facts… After each & every election the Election Commissioner gives a report. Better you read it first.

"It was one and half miles away from my home and everyday from my home to school there were at least three or four dead bodies. They were our youth. You hear it my friend… it was the future of our country, Ranil murdered."


Okay, I know you are tired reading, thanks if you came this far – sometimes may be got hurt as well. Let’s move to the next issue, Human Rights violations.

“Now you guys talking about Batalanda. Then prove it at courts. You have your government, president, and a judge to take a decision against him”Anonymous-10 thinks he made a valid point. Oops… no my dear friend you still beating around the bush.

Batalanda as well as Sooriyakanda are two special cases. “Special cases “can take in place at a time of a war or a similar situation. Such cases have no strong witnesses, since they’ve being destroyed by the people who committed those. So they cannot be taken into courts – but can be heard before the people – that is people’ court. Ranil already being judged to be guilty by people’ court.

Apart from the above “Sri Lankan”, had some nice thoughts on Anonymous-10’s comment. This is what he thinks.

Following is the comment by “Sri Lankan”.
Anonymous-11: "Now you guys talking about Batalanda. Then prove it at courts."
Anonymous-11: "I have proofs, they cut the voting rights of nearly .5 million UNPers."
If you have proofs why don't you go to courts? You marched from Matara to Colombo to reduce CBKs duty time by one year, I never heard you people doing such thing regarding the lost voting rights.
Anonymous-6 had different thoughts.

“Please go back to 1983 then to 1987 -1991. This MR and party which he belongs to spread the news that Sri Lankan government violates the HR and destroy the image of the country.”

How dare you compare 1983 or the 1989 with the current situation? Those are entirely different cases. In 1989 I was a small kid living more than 100 miles away from Colombo. I used to walk to school with my mother. It was one and half miles away from my home and everyday from my home to school there were at least three or four dead bodies. They were our youth. You hear it my friend… it was the future of our country, Ranil murdered. How many times my mother could not answer, when I asked the question ‘why’, pointing to a dead body. So Anonymous-6, you want to compare such a tragedy with the current situation. What a shame? You a Sri Lankan, ah? Just another thing… it seems you are very much worried about MRs act that time, as per you it destroyed the image of the country. What a patriotic? Even in such situation if you believe it is bad to take our problems to the international level, how come you believe today, what Ranil does is right?

Well… this is going into pages. I think I answered most of your questions.

Even in a power play, a ‘doosra’ can take a batsman in surprise. Although we have good players, it's hard to bowl a 'doosra' on the pitch Ranil made.

    The info that you put in all are things u heard in news and stuff. Ask or talk to people (if u get to) in north(not LTTE just average ppl) and know the real situation.
    Dont be a frog in the well and talk like a big head. Come out and ask questions. Dont just believe wht u r told.

    I agree with you that it's unfair to compare the situation in 88-89 with what we've got today. Streets in Colombo are not peppered with dead bodies of youths garnished with burning tyres. Democratic dissent is not disallowed and the opposition leader still has his civil rights.

    Pardon me if I sound patronising, but your writing style does not show the fluency and eloquence I'd expect from Denagama's son. Nevertheless, I'm happy that we've got some patriotic bloggers who could put forward sensible and coherent arguments to counter the dogmatic drivel of the elitist peacenik monopoly on Sri Lankan blogosphere.

    Perhaps you could take part in some of the other Sri Lanka related blogs and make a constructive contribution to the current discourse on Sri Lankan politics?

  4. I think Anonymous-1 once again being hit on the top of his head... it seems this time it's more painful... ah? Keep on shouting till you get rid of your pain... I don't think no body will care what you say.

    JM Bardo: Thanks for your constructive comments.
