Implementing 13th Amendment plus ploy to hoodwink intl. community: Kiriella
Posted by Editor on January 26, 2012 - 1:39 pm
The UNP charged today that the government’s recent pledge to implement the 13th Amendment plus was a ploy to hoodwink the international community.
Addressing a press conference, UNP Vice President Lakshman Kiriella said that the SLFP-led alliances opposed the 13th Amendments when it was introduced in 1987, but today, they had pledged to honour it.
Mr. Kiriella said that the SLFP leaders dubbed the 13th Amendment as a move that would pave the way for the separation of the country.

13th ammendment is already implemented through Provincial Councils with limited self-governance. No land rights and own police/security can be allowed. We are a sovereign country. We implement what is in our best interest. We are quite able to manage our own affairs without outside interference, just as we totally eradicated the world’s most evil and fiercest terrorist outfit through our own home grown solution. Let other countries learn from us. We do not dictate to other countries so why should other countries, including India, dictate to us what is good for us? UNP’s JRJ was a coward who yielded to India’s dictatorship and even allowed VP and the LTTE off the hook when our heroic army had them by the throat at Vadamarachchi. So we do not need lectures from Kiriella and his ilk, in favour of the imperial West and India, our enemies.
This is another infamous utterance of LK’s asinine story of any donkey waging war, during the height of LTTE war.He is wicked and highly treacherous in waving his palm to the diaspora and supplying them with anti SL slogans.We will remember him as a direct descendant of Kandyan Chiefs who betrayed our last king of Sri Lanka.Treason seems to be in his blood.
