uhox said:Mr jayawardhana had both negative and positive qualities..
The SLFP govt has brought the sri lankan social- economical situation to its worst levels during the late 70s. Like in EX-soviet block countries, the goverment officials and their families were involved in state corruption during that period while the common people had to find a peice of bread or packet of Milk powder only through the so-called "PAN POLIM"....
So, JR has got unprecendented victory on 1977 election. Then to launch the economy in relation with World economic competitions he has launched the OPEN ECONoMY. it has opend the investments . But, the problem was else....IT WAS THE RISING OF TAMIL EELAMIST MILITANCY....
During the late 70s the jaffna came under the partial control of eelamist populist and student wings. Anyway the first sign of that insurgency has ignited during the sirima times.(soon after the 1971 jvp rebellion , including the mayor Doreappa murder etc...). But JR has sent an able army officer to crush them. The forward eelam military leadership was beheaded.. I canT remember the name of that army officer, but remind the News about the terrorist bodies found under a certain jaffna bridge
.. Even the Prbakarana was forced to flee tamilnadu fearing his miserable life...
and JR , with mr lalith and Mr gamini has launched the most advanced development project in srilanka.. the MAHAWELI DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
...
with that
1- SL is able to get counrtywide electricity
2- started the strategical colonies like Welioya , Maduru oya etc..
3- Rehabiliated the entire rajarata making an agarian state....
I will write you some more later...
also some negative things abt him
But dont judge him as a national enemy.. Without him , we Sri lanka would have been an another Ethiopia, according to some political analytes...
once, I ve know personally Ravi jayawardhana.. He was a good "environmentalist", and good soldier, before all he was real gentleman, unlike nowdays most " desapaluwan ge putthu"..
SO, dont fooled by idiotic mindsets, Look the real facts..

Because you are too afraid of LTTE and gone mad by hatred with LTTE... so your mind create pictures of LTTE all around.... Once war is over you will be cured... Till then you have to live with this fear and hatred.


and has given the protection to entire digamdulla and vavunia border villages..
