(Lanka-e-News 17.July.2010 11.55PM) Today , Ministers are functioning in fear. If a secret voting is conducted, all the Ministers will be unanimous in their decision to send the President home.
The DNF leader and Colombo District M P who made this announcement , insisted that the Executive Presidency shall be abolished, adding that the first and foremost requirement is to stamp out this Executive Presidency which is promoting dictatorship . In my view , more than the fault in the system , it is the fault in the individual who comes to that position which is most detrimental and devastating to all. Because we cannot change the individual who occupies this position , the system has to be compulsorily changed. The ability a President acquires to be a dictator using these powers should be eradicated. Though a President may exist , the Executive Presidency must be changed so that the Parliament will have supremacy and the powers . In that event , the President will be denied the control of the country’s fiscal management , otherwise pilferage of the public funds without control by those managing it cannot be averted. |

The General had the following averments to make in regard to the war and the white flag story :
The Army did not commit any wrongs though Gotabaya was giving orders. Irrespective of whatever orders he gave , the Army obeyed my instructions . Gotabaya gave orders based on his crudeness, lack of discipline and impetuousness to junior officers . But because I was having those groups well under my control , they did not exceed my instructions and Gotabaya’s crude directives were not carried out. Now, of course , he is engaging in all kinds of actions. The Army Commander has no administrative control. I have talked about this white flag story earlier too. Nothing like that happened. |
