If Anura Kumara Dissanayake becomes president in three more months, he will be able to raise teachers’ salaries without putting teachers on the streets, JVP is acting like this because Anura Kumara Dissanayake will never be able to become the president of the srilanka except on Facebook, Minister of Labour and Foreign Employment Manusha Nanayakkara said while participating in a media workshop held in Batticaloa today (29).
The Minister said that the behavior of Samagi Jana Balawega MP Dr. Harsha de Silva reveals a plan to bring down Sajith Premadasa, and even though he is an economic expert, the moment ”Subaranchi” comes to the country, Harsha de Silva also works to bring down the country.
The Minister further to said:
“This country was a bankrupt country. This country was a country without fuel, gas, food, and medicine. We had a problem with the dollar in our country. With that problem, we could not pay the debt we had. That is why we announced ourselves that we arebankrupt country . When the debt was not paid, we became a bankrupt state.
Then by last week, we discussed the problem we had about the ability to pay that debt, the International Monetary Fund intervened, we held many negotiations for that, we discussed with our external creditors, we talked with local creditors, and we carried out the restructuring of domestic debt. After that, after negotiating with the Paris Club internationally, we were able to reach an agreement by the 26th. It was because of that agreement that China Exim Bank entered into an agreement with us.
Japan has already announced that it is ready to support us. Now the country is in a position to move forward. It is good news for the country. It is good news for every person of this country that the country will rise from where it fell, regardless of caste and religion.
When Mr. Ranil Wickramasinghe first said that he was going to join the IMF, economic expert Harsha de Silva said that ‘Ranil going to the IMF is of no use’. Janatha Vimukti Peramuna said that ‘Ranil going to the IMF is of no use, Ranil Wickremesinghe has no public opinion, Ranil Wickremesinghe is in Parliament as a successor president’. They said that the IMF will not support a government that does not have a mandete. That is how a referendum was first made inside the country that this country will not get the IMF relief.
As the negotiations continued, when they were about to sign the agreement, they started saying ‘these government don’t have a referendum’. They campaigned to show it. A few days before the payment of the IMF premium, 40 trade unions started a protest. This started on the 15th of March. But when the first installment was received on May 22, the agitation stopped when the first agreement was reached. This is the way of trying to prevent good news from coming to the country. In addition, they tried to tell the international community that ‘there is no consensus within the country, this cannot be done’.
They started saying the same way inside the country. But like the IMF organization, other countries also started doing what should be done for this. On June 26, when this message was read, the Samagi Jana Balawega came out. They came to the media in a serious and hypocritical manner and began to shout how it would happen, debt restructuring, how to get out of bankruptcy. After a few days, Harsha de Silva came back and said, ‘It is good that this has been done, but we cannot accept this’. Much is said about technical matters.
This is trying to prevent them from trying to move forward with this victory. The Japanese ambassador clearly states that ‘we congratulate Sri Lanka on the progress made, we support Sri Lanka to move forward’. It is announced that the development of the airport, which had been stopped by Japan, will resume the light rail project. However, experts in Sri Lanka’s economic committees, Harsha de Silva, who is the chairman of the finance committee, says that ‘even though Japan says that, we need to see the agreement, we need to put it in that committee, and the parliament will not support it unless it is seen’.
Even after Japan, Exim Bank of china and Paris Club agreed, the economic experts of our country still have the problem. Harsha de Silva is losing his way to and from the Economic Committee by creating opinions like this. Through this, Sajith is also implementing a plan to defeat Sajith Premadasa. This is the opinion of the S.J.B .. When this is done, the people are against it. When the people of the country are waiting for a good news, and when they express their opinion against it, when someone from the economic committee of Samagi Jana Balavega says this, it is a harm to the party and to Sajith Premadasa. When Sajith Premadasa said that he can’t accepet the presidency, Harsha de Silva said, ‘And I am ready to accepet prime ministership’. I don’t know if there is such an underlying plan. Some thime they may be want to overthrow Sajith. We have doubts about that now.
Then when the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna learned that this good news would come on the 26th, they brought the teachers to the streets. They brought a large number of teachers to the streets and said very happily that 10,000 schools were closed after protesting. But the North East schools were closed very less. People in these provinces do not listen to what they say. Disrupting children’s education, Joseph Stalin came to Batticaloa yesterday or so. It is heard that he was very happy in a hotel. 10,000 for closing schools. For not sending school children to school. We hear that Santhose came to Madakapu and was happy.
They put the teachers on the street and tried to prevent the good news coming to the country and disrupt what is coming to the country. These people represent JVP. They are the ones behind this agitation. Then if the JVP believes in three more months, we will have Ranil Wickremesinghe as the president and then Anura Kumara Dissanayake will be the president of this country (on Facebook), why did the teachers take to the streets. The teachers could have raised their salaries as much as they wanted without disrupting the children’s education since the teachers had been there for three months. If not, why go to the streets and disrupt the education of children. Because they know that even if Anura Kumara Dissanayake is the president of Facebook, he cannot be the president of the earth.”
