Lanka Truth has reported that ‘”we should go towards that aim. May be, specially people like me, would have to remove this uniform in the future. We cannot wear this uniform always. However, even if I have to remove my uniform I would not hesitate to take necessary steps for the defense of the country”by Gen.Sarath Fonseka.
It will be very dangerous if military rulers entire politics. We had enough examples in the south asian countries like Bangladesh and Pakistan. So we have to say no to this military Sarath factor.We can’t ignore the allegations of war crimes.
What about Judicial Sarath? We all remember what was happened to Tony Fernando and Attorney at Law Elmo Perera. These are only two examples but there were hundreds.
So if you love democracy, rule of law and human rights please say no to these two SARATH factors. There is a Sinhala saying Inguru de Meris ganima when we allowed Dutch after throwing away Portugese.
Your comparison to countries like Pakistan have no basis. The military rulers of those countries came to power with a military junta following military coups. Similar situation in Burma. Sarath Fonseka on the other hand will be associated with one if not more political parties and would be voted in democratically by the people of Sri Lanka.
