The Time Has Come to Speak About Politics

Hello everyone,

For a long time, I refrained from discussing politics. But now, I believe the moment has arrived to speak out once more. The actions of the National People's Power (NPP) government, which came to power through a web of false promises, are finally revealing their true character to the Tamil people.

During the election period, many voiced concerns about the NPP. When the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) tried to remind the Tamil community of their past actions—often dismissed as immature criticisms—those warnings now seem prophetic. It is becoming painfully evident that those who once claimed to understand the needs of the Tamil people have proven themselves to be nothing more than foxes in tiger's clothing.

Let us not forget: this is the same group that took legal action to dissolve the merged North Eastern Provincial Council. These are the same individuals who resigned from their cabinet positions in protest against tsunami-related relief structures intended to assist the Tamil people. They objected to any administrative frameworks designed to empower the Tamil population, and instead supported military solutions to deeply political problems. These facts were carefully hidden as they manoeuvred their way into power through the NPP, deceiving not just the Tamil community but also the Sinhalese people.

Consider the President’s own promises. He boldly stated he would bring Arjun Mahendran back from Singapore to answer for the Central Bank scandal. Why has that not happened? He pledged to resolve the Thajudeen murder case within months, claiming to know the details. Yet, it remains unresolved. He promised justice in the Lasantha Wickrematunge murder case, assuring the public he had access to the truth. Why, then, have these cases not seen progress? If he lacks the courage to pursue them, he should admit it.

He claims to have over 600 case files in his vehicle, ready to expose corruption. But why hasn’t he acted on them? Why must the public wait? He claims to Instead of borrowing foreign funds to service Sri Lanka’s debt, he should focus on recovering the stolen wealth hidden in foreign accounts, allegedly in places like Rwanda. He claims to If retrieved, this money could potentially relieve the country's financial burden.

The government asked for power—received a two-thirds majority—promising to transform the nation. But what have they delivered? The Sinhalese people entrusted them with a mandate in good faith, only to be fed falsehoods.

Now, we are told that electricity tariffs will rise starting in June. Essential goods are being imported and sold at inflated prices. These realities are hard to ignore.

In the upcoming in future elections—people will no longer be deceived. The government will ask for more time, claiming they need four years to complete projects, and in the fifth year, they will still have excuses. But the people are no longer naive. They are watching, learning, and preparing to respond through the democratic process.

This story is far from over.
