Wimal’s fast to death ends
Posted by Editor on July 10, 2010 - 1:13 pm
Minister Wimal Weerawansa has ended his fast unto death after President Mahinda Rajapaksa visited him outside the UN office a short while ago. President Rajapaksa had offered Weerawansa water which the Minister accepted and he was later driven away in an ambulance to the army hospital.
Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa and the family of Minister Weerawansa also visited the site of the protest just minutes before the arrival of the President. Weerawansa commenced the fast unto death three days ago to protest the appointment of a panel on Sri Lanka by UN Secretary General Ban ki-moon.
Weerawansa had earlier said he will not give up the fast until the UN Chief gives an assurence that the panel will be dissolved.

Congratulations Wimal. We appriciate your attempt. We are with you.
As usual, Anthony Jones (Pseudonym for Rudrakumaran) is jabbering away like an idiot. He has earned his place in the fist batch of monkeys to be shot into deep space along with the other LTTE diaspora villains who have found welcome refuge in the bosom of the imperial West to lick their bums.
Wimal is a hero who has made his point in imitation of Mahatma Ghandi who fasted and suffered in peaceful protest against evil imperial Britain to finally win independence for India. Our valiant defence forces have done their bit. Wimal did his bit. Now the whole motherland will do her bit led by our patriotic, courageous Presdent, the whole Freeworld honours and we are fortunate to have. No Ban Ki-Moon or diaspora LTTE or imperial West will ever succeed in hauling away our beloved President, the Defence Secretary and the valiant Army officers in trummped up charges of war crimes etc. The Freeworld in the UN Genral Assembly will see to it. Our true friends China and Russia in the UN Security Council will veto it. Our valiant defence will fight against any invasion to the last man. The armies of Russia, China and the Freeworld will defend us. The imperial West will never succeed in their vile plans. God’s curse on them, the great satan!
The real war criminals and evil men who committed crimes against humanity are in USA, Britain and in Israel. Ban Ki-Moon has no guts to investigate and charge them with their crimes as the imperial West is his pay-master. He is dancing to the yankee doodle. The larger Freeworld call for his immediate resignation. If not he should be sacked by the UN General Assembly for perversion of truth and corruption. The Freeworld has no faith in him.
Well said Nicholas.
