Military officials disillusioned with Sarath Fonseka’s politics have revealed that a person who lacks a sensitive heart and does not respect the views of others is neither suitable to take up the leadership of the country nor engage in politics.
They made this revelation at a media conference held in Rajagiriya to announce the resignation of 12 war heroes. They shouldered the task of building the Democratic Party with Sarath Fonseka.
Major Wimal Ratnayake said that when Sarath Fonseka launched his Party, he served as his Kurunegala District Coordinator. He also served as Deputy President of the Party, the Convener of the Ranaviru Organization of Kurunegala and also the Chief Organizer of the Yapahuwa electorate of the District. He adheres to hatred and dictatorial politics. He does not respects views of others. Of those who were with Fonseka when he contested the Presidential polls, there is only one individual who still remains with him. All others have resigned. 21 drivers too have given up. Major Ratnayake said that this clearly portrays his politics. They do not endorse his hatred politics. He said it is very clear that it was the President who ended a war which lasted 30 years and thereafter he has effected massive development in the country. He mentioned that all of them have decided to support the President’s development efforts.
Major Susantha de Silva said there are doubts whether they could look after another if the driver or the worker is not properly looked after and cared for. It is hard to think as to how a person who does not look after his driver or worker, would care for the nation in the future. He said that it is very difficult to move forward if Fonseka is unable to identify the pulse of the people.
Lt. Asela Dharmasiri mentioned that he served as Fonseka’s organizer of the Anuradhapura District. He is a person who was engaged in politics. But he finally found that it is unable to do politics with him. He said that it was they who did much work for the Party since it was launched. It was they who visited villages and collected votes. He assured that they would bring together the war heroes and the civilians and ensure they supported the President’s programme. It is particularly the Eastern polity who is satisfied with this victory over terrorism. It is the Defence Secretary who managed this war. It is fortunate that Gotabhaya Rajapaksa assumed the Deputy Defence Ministerial portfolio. If not the war would have still been dragging. If Geneva sanctions were imposed it will not only impact the President but the Sinhala, Tamil, Muslim and burgher communities. If so Lt. Asela Dharmasiri said he is appealing to the people of the Southern and the Western Province to vote for the Government on behalf of the President who liberated the country from the terrorists.
