Prevention of the presentation of the draft new Constitution on the 30th of this month to Parliament is the only way open to defeat this treachery and save this country and the Sinhala Buddhist Nation.
In the first place this Government has no mandate to go for a new Constitution. Therefore any move to present a draft new Constitution to Parliament on the 30th Oct with the expressed intention of getting it passed is illegal, unconstitutional and treacherous.
Secondly it is crystal clear that this government is scheming to divide the country on ethnic lines, devalue the millennia old Sinhala Buddhist imprint that form the core of this Island nation and that had been the pride of our heritage. That will also lead to the end of the Sinhala Nation and the Sinhala Buddhist civilization in this country. If this drat is allowed to be presented to Parliament this Government unpatriotic traitors will definitely get it passed by using all antics and gimmicks and bribes they have been resorting to during the past two years.
That is why I strongly call upon all patriotic citizens to immediately start doing everything possible under the sun to stop this being presented to Parliament on the 30th. That is the only way, as I see it, to defeat it. If the JO or any other party thinks they can defeat it in Parliament winning over few unscrupulous bulathkola karayas presently with the Sirisena camp (who have become rank Kehelkola karayas now) that will definitely end up as a wild dream and the passage of this Constitution is imminent and it will mark the beginning of this country and the Sinhala Buddhist Nation.
My above assumption is based on the following backdrop.
Questions & Answer
1 Has this Government got a mandate from the people to go for a new Constitution Either on Jan 8th or August 17th 2015 No
2 Have the people asked for a new Constitution No
3 Is the Parliament packed with defeated Candidates legally constituted? to go for a new Constitution No
4 Are the appointments of Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition done according to the procedure in the Constitution No
5 Has the Government followed the democratic procedure in this process No
6 Is a new Constitution the most important and critical issue in today’s governance No
7 Has the Govt entrusted Constitution making to the best legal brains in Constitutional law or at least got one such person involved in the process No
8 Has the Public Hearing committee embodied the representations made by the Majority 75 % Sinhalese in their Draft Report No
9 Have they considered the history, traditions, customs and aspirations of the Sinhalese Majority No
10 Does it (the Draft) guarantee the protection of the territorial integrity, sovereignty and the 2500 year norms and heritage of this nation and ensures future peace and prosperity of Sri Lanka as a Nation No
11 Have the Constitutional makers consulted the people who really matter in this process Like the eminent Buddhist Monks, historians, learned scholars on Constitutional law and the heritage of this country NO
12 Have they followed an open, honest and transparent procedure in this process NO
