Ranil’s visit akin to slave visiting his master

Members of key political parties and civil society representatives termed the intended European visit of UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe as an expedition of a slave to place his woes to his masters.

They voiced their anger over his purported European visit to educate the Scandinavian countries of the situation in Sri Lanka. They said this type of action by UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe showcases his servility to the colonial masters after 61 years of independence.

Ven Elle Gunawansa Thera said the UNP leader is a slave who betrayed his native land to the colonial masters. “There is no single occasion when a Sri Lankan leader pointed fingers at their political rivals in foreign countries except Ranil,” he said.

The Thera said the UNP leader has forgotten that Sri Lanka is a sovereign country and Sri Lankans have the complete freedom to decide their own destiny.

“We may have problems and political rivalry in the country but they should be discussed and solved within the country. The UNP leader is in the habit of telling all problems to the international community to win their sympathy,” the Thera said.

Urban and Sacred Area Development Minister Dinesh Gunawardena said the Opposition leader has decided to educate the European leader at a time when the Security Forces have almost eradicated terrorism.

“The Forces have evacuated more than 150,000 civilians and the Government has taken all steps to ensure the safety and the welfare of civilians who came to the cleared areas.

He attempted to canvass on the issues related to GSP+ and made every effort to deprive the country of all GSP+ benefits.

“The UNP Leader is a disgrace to the members of the Security Forces who made the supreme sacrifice to save the country from terrorism. Sri Lanka lives in a new age not in an age of under colonialism.”

The Minister said the Opposition Leader should get out of this colonial mentality and support the Government to fully implement the mandate given by the people of Sri Lanka. “The Government is bound to implement the mandate given by the people. The opposition should support this endeavor,” the Minister said.
