Pseudo Democracy Of Mahinda Rajapakse

by Rajasingham Jayadevan
( December 8, 2014, London. Sri Lanka Guardian) A very thoughtful analysis of
Tisaranee Gunasekara: Fake Tales For Elections rightly projects the paranoiac, selfish
and phony mindset of Mahinda Rajapakse in prolonging his autocratic governance.
The analysis speaks of the degree of the treacherous and dishonest campaign of the
Mahinda camp to subterfuge the very people it depends on to prolong the nations
agony.

Sri Lanka, under the autocratic family rule of Rajapakse & Co., is an epitome of
malevolence, unprecedented in the post independence political history of Sri Lanka.
The present presidential style of governance was introduced by President J R
Jayawardene in 1978 and it was part of his campaign to create a Dharmista (just)
society. His much criticised and centralised constitution was the panacea given on a
golden platter to Mahinda Rajapakse to create an Adharmista (unjust) society
embodying all the wickedness to rule the people with his contemptible crusade.

The mega sutra family rule of Mahinda Rajapakske will be hell bent to reflect the

enormity of its inequity and will follow devious strategies until the Presidential
election to cling on to power is done by any means, hook or by crook. A high velocity
unscrupulous campaign by Mahinda Rajapakse & Co will include finger tip computer
treachery a predicable game allegedly practiced to auto increase by 10% of the real
count - this will be the deciding factor.
Nondy (Fake) claims and nonsensical promises will be made to ruse the masses to the
extent of foul cry of LTTE masona (ghost) of the Tamil Diaspora scheming to send
Mahinda to the international gallows from The Hague. Mahinda is so desperate that
day by day, events are turning anti for him and he has nowhere to turn except pull his
polle in the malle (baton in the bag) as the last ditch effort to salvage himself from
any electoral defeat.
All indications are that, with his extensive, intrusive, intelligence and military
machinery network, the desperate President will pull his master card to give a hammer
blow to the opposition that is fine tuning its progress to bring about the much needed
political change that Sri Lanka wants to overcome to avoid its progressing deficiencies.
The oil leak from the Indian fishermens boats, that was afloat in the Manner basin in
2011 during local government elections, made headline news for Mahinda to fake claim
that Sri Lanka had found its oil and gas reserves to match the Ottoman regimes of the
Middle East. In the three years since, the USA have gone with vengeance to frack oil
and gas from its soil, causing havoc to the international oil prices as well as knuckling
down Putins arrogance.
One should not gloss over, as Mahinda will go further and flick a cigarette lighter
fuelled with Mannar oil to prove that his mission has been accomplished in finding oil
in the Mannar basin.
During Mahindas rule, the nation had experienced unexplained murders,
disappearances, accidental deaths of opponents, Grease Yakka menace, revival of the
LTTE with fake claims to prop up the southern momentum, land grabs, extensive
bribery and corruption etc. These are some of the factual accounts of a regime that
attempts to live through with the funding from the equally despotic Chinese Republic
to prop up its mega corrupt development projects to paint a glossy picture of its
governance.
With the election date announced, the reckless President has become so desperate that
he has decided to open his Mullivaykal jewellery vault to return the stolen properties to
the victims from the North. The methodology adopted to identify these train loads of
claimants from the North is a recipe better known to Mahinda to capture some votes
from the North. Jewelleries belonging to Tamils from the East and the Tamil Diaspora

are still to be recognised.

The death of the Deputy Minister of Power and Energy, Mr Athula Nimalasiri
Jayasinghe, on 29 November 2014, in the Presidents official Temple Trees, was not
published even in the leading newspapers. There are claims of physical and verbal
abuse against him at the meeting with the President to explain his intentions to cross
over to the opposition.
Another spin to the election campaign is the investigation into the mass murders in a
burial ground in Vanni. Whilst mass burial grounds in Matale, Eastern Province and
Mannar are found and the military is blamed, there has been no conclusive
independent investigations undertaken so far.
Rajapakses regime is trying all its tricks to stay in power for ever without realizing that
the people are not going to bequeath him the posthumous award in the forthcoming
election. Mahindas astrological signs too are not favorable for him.
The controversial and allegedly cast conscious Tamil Nadu political maverick,
Subramaniya Swamy, who has shown hatred towards the Tamils in Sri Lanka
manifesting from his loathing towards the LTTE, has come to the rescue of Mahinda
Rajapakse. When millions of dollars invested with international propaganda specialists
remain dormant, maverick Subramaniya Swamy is the headline news to resuscitate the
despotic family rule for another term.
What a pathetic predicament of Sri Lanka that needs radical change to move forward
to be part of global fam
