US want to replace President with Fonseka - Bahu

The US that lost faith in President Rajapaksa who did not confront strikes in the petroleum sector and the prot that came in the wake of the plantation sector strike have decided to replace him with a new leadership, said Dr. Wickramabahu Karunaratne.

Addressing a public meting in Wellawatta, the Common Left Candidate said international masters have decided to replace Rajapaksa who failed in the face of workers with another man who was in the same camp, General Fonseka.

"After General Fonseka was taken to the Pentagon to cleanse the blood on him from killing Tamils in the north, he was passed over to Delhi to be anointed by the Brahmins, before returning to Sri Lanka dressed up in white," said Bahu. Dr. Bahu said Fonseka is the new man sent by the global masters to safeguard the same oppressive system that is today led by Rajapaksa.

Addressing the gathering Tamil Presidential Candidate MK Shivajilingam said the vote of minorities in Sri Lanka is crucial.

He said the Sinhala majority is made up of only 70 percent of voters.

"Even among them over five percent are non Buddhists. They too are a minority,": said Shivajilingam MP.

He said, "If we are to build a strong movement to fight for minority rights, we need to get together and stop Rajapaksa or Fonseka getting 50 percent".
