(Lanka-e-News- 24.April.2015, 11.30PM) As it is well known that President Maithripala Sirisena does not know Tamil, so it is well known that 90 % Tamil speaking voters of the country contributed to make him the president of Sri Lanka.
Upon the conclusion of the president’s 100 days program , the president addressed the nation yesterday in the language he knows – that is in Sinhala. It is the duty therefore of the media secretaries, and the high and mighty media ‘generals’ of the president who are collecting salaries under him unfailingly ,to translate that into Tamil unfailingly, the language spoken by a large number of people statistically ,so that they would also know about what he spoke, while also translating into English so that the international community will be enlightened.
Yet , though his speech was translated into English, it was not translated into Tamil. Even in the President’s official face book , there is only the headline of his speech in Tamil. The translations in Tamil were done by the various media Institutions on their own , but the president’s media unit had not made available an official translation in Tamil.
The racism filled JHU brains who are around the president are not unaware of this , but it is simply that they are pretending to be blind because they of the communal drunkenness.
In the circumstances the disappointment and disillusionment created among the Tamil speaking people, 90 % of whom voted to elect him as the president cannot be avoided. If the president does not avert this trend and steer clear of these racist elements, and exercise caution, his driving himself into serious trouble is inevitable. Indeed we are reporting this in our column because we who were responsible to chart his course to victory against countless odds cannot stand idle and watch him flounder and founder
