Every effort must be made to defeat int’l conspiracies against President - Azwer

“This house is of the opinion that every concerted effort must be made to defeat the national and international conspiracies hatched against the President who has been twice elected by popular mandate and the government of Sri Lanka, said Parliamentarian A H M Azwer at themonthly adjournment motion speech in Parliament on Friday.

The speech: An extensive media blitz should be launched globally to enlighten the international community of the massive development programmes presently in progress island wide,”

“The whole world has realized that the West is hell-bent on destroying the free and democratic world in all parts of the globe. They aspire to continue to be the policeman of the world. This is because of the fire-power they possess. Who gave them this power? Divinity? Nay! It is Satanic power! But, let them realize, divine power will engulf them!

“They conveniently forget the greatest fire-power is the power of the Almighty! He is the Creator of the Universe. Western powers will realize this fact, and will meet their doom. Because Allah has very clearly endorsed in Al-Qur'an that the mischief-makers, miscreants and evil-doers will come to naught. Because our All-power, All-knowing, Almighty is Allah. - “Jalla Jalaluhu Amma Navaluhu” - The Creator is all might and all powerful. Sovereignty is vested on Him.” - It is well nigh time they should realize the folly of their dastardly acts towards mankind at least now.

“International and national conspirators are endeavouring to decimate the Islamic World. Their successes in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain and Syria has spurred them to now target this serene and peaceful populace of Sri Lanka.

“The international media reported their execrable and wretched act of vilification.

“They reported NATO soldiers desecrating and burning the Holy Qur'an.

“The axiom that the dead must be respected was brazenly thrown to the winds when they urinated on dead bodies of fallen heroes in Afghanistan.

“These international conspirators are now recreating a new drama. What is this drama? If I put it in cricket parlance, they are trying to dislodge the world's best-known batsman of peace from his crease!

“President Mahinda Rajapaksa was elected twice over. The second time with an increased majority by the people of Sri Lanka. He is a man of the people, and he lives with the people.

“Unlike what happened in the disasters of the so-called Arab Spring, Sri Lanka's scenario is totally different. The writ of the Executive power of our President runs through our entire Island: North-East-West-South and Central. Know ye, the West!

“Look at this - In Syria and in Libya, and other countries of the so-called Arab Spring, specific towns were laundered with money and backed by the media blitz, to cause chaos and confusion against their respective regimes! In similar fashion, after the fuel price increase which was inevitable, we saw the Chilaw townsfolk, chosen by these unholy elements supported by some NGOs, being incited to revolt.

The picture is crystal clear since in all other fishing towns all over the island - even the worst terrorist-affected Northern-peninsula - the entire fishing community has accepted the subsidy granted by the government as a result of the fuel price increase. A calm and peaceful atmosphere prevails all over, except in Chilaw and Negombo areas. How come, this?

It is the local conspirators who are hand in glove with their international counterparts labour to incite and mislead a small section of the fisher-folk over here.

“On the 27th of this month, the day on which they will act the Geneva drama, trying to besmirch the good name of our President, millions of Sri Lankans will take to the streets to protect the President and to protest against these machinations of the international conspirators. Didn't Graham Greene title his book: “The Ugly American”?

“In Geneva, they pursue on endorsing the unwarranted resolution, wishing to create a Syria-like situation in Sri Lanka, to enable them to go on their spree over here.

The LLRC report’s recommendations are being addressed by this government. In the midst of this process, we see our Opposition Leader urging the US government and those mandarins now in Geneva to seek answers from this government. The Opposition Leader, at this crucial juncture in our history, I dare to say, must be with the people of this country.

Over here, Mr Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition chooses to pick on Muslims. He referred to his UNP colleague, Imthiaz Bakeer Markar as “Rajapaksa Hewalayage Imthiaz Bakeer Markar!” This is an affront to Islam.

One cannot refer to a Muslim by the name of another religionist. On the other hand, a pure and noble Sinhala name cannot be desecrated like wise. Here, he even insults the Sinhala community.

“There is another coincidence here that I would like to point out to you, Mr Speaker - Our honourable Opposition Leader addresses this House in Sinhala when he wishes to convey a message to the indigenous folk in this country. But he addresses Parliament in English so that his Western friends would understand him, loud and clear. One dish for the local populace. The other dish for his Western friends! Who said Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde do not exist, today!

They will remain in Opposition for a very long, long time.

“In the recent past we have always observed that endeavours by local or outside powers to harm our dear people's President of our country have resulted in Providential protection.

At a time when such antics are being staged in Geneva, we find Providence has helped to unearth gems from the land of Mahinda Rajapaksa - the Deep South. So, I am elated to call Sri Lanka a Gem of a Country.

I'm very glad to say, Mr Speaker, that our country is a Bowl of Democracy!

“We sustain, protect, and nurture the principle of democracy.

After thirty years of a prolonged war of terrorism, the country today, Sir, is marching towards the launch of a massive development programme, unprecedented in the history of our country. So, President Mahinda Rajapaksa occupies a unique position among world leaders today. This fact was acknowledged when the person of the calibre of Ban Ki-moon, when he met our President, in our presence, outside the UN sessions at the UN Headquarters, suggested that our President should give leadership to South Asia, since he commands the mandate of his people twice over.

“In this scenario, I would suggest to the Western powers on behalf of the entire nation, to recommend the name of Mahinda Rajapaksa for the coveted Nobel Prize for Peace and Democracy, rather than resorting to their iconoclastic ventures.”
