I want all Sinhala people to read the following news item that appeared in Times of India on May 17^th.

Sri Lanka agrees to provide land to Madya Pradesh for Sita temple

Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh government will soon start the construction of a grand temple of Sita, wife of Lord Rama, in Sri Lanka at the place where she underwent agni pariksha (an ordeal of fire). The island nation has agreed to provide a piece of land for the purpose.

An ambitious project of chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, it has been hanging fire for the last five years. In the past, Chouhan himself had visited the places in the island nation associated with mythological characters of Rama and Sita. In the last week of April, a top bureaucrat of MP government visited Sri Lanka to finalise various issues related to the temple, including its architectural design among others. RSS leader Ram Madhav has also been evincing keen interest in the project, government sources claimed. Chouhan had first proposed the project in September 2012 when the then Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa visited Sanchi to inaugurate University of Buddhist-Indic Studies.

The temple is likely to be constructed at Divurumpola, a place which the Sri Lankan government claims to be the site where Sita underwent the agni pariksha. During the recent visit of Sri Lankan president Maithripala Sirisena to Simhastha in Ujjain and later to Sanchi on May 14, the chief minister discussed the issue again. “The government is still working on various issues like who would maintain the temple after its construction is over. It is likely to be maintained by India Foundation, an organisation with which RSS leader Ram Madhav is involved,” sources claimed”.

My comments

This news doesn’t say that the President Sirisena has agreed to release the land to the Indian Minister. But the headline implies that he has agreed. If that is true the President should immediately rescind that decision. Because no he or any other man or woman has no authority to sell the country to a foreign country like that. Even to give a land on lease he should first get the approval from the Parliament. Every inch of this country belongs to the entire nation. Even if it is a private property I don’t think one can sells it to a foreigner without the permission from the legitimate authorities. This applies to every citizen including the President of the country. Any decision going contrary to this I suppose is illegal.

I am issuing this alarm note for the benefit of every Sinhala man and woman who has a concern for the country, irrespective of political affiliation to rise against this betrayal and force the authorities to rescind their decision immediately before it is too late.

RSS (Rara Sevak Sangam) of India where PM Modi is also a key player is an extremist Indian Hindutva organization. As such Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan cannot be a saint either. This could be another step in establishing the Malayanadu in Central Sri Lanka. Now that the Modi Government has already started the first step towards this goal by putting up 4000 houses for Indian estate labour there. Only last week Indian High Commissoner laid the foundation for this plan where Minister of new villages and Infrastructure Development for Tamils Sidambaran has declared that they will be putting up a house for every man and woman It is rather ironical as to why they put up houses for Tamil people in Sri Lanka while millions of people in India ware suffering for lack of houses. This itself is enough proof of their hidden agenda of Indian expansionism.  In that context it is not difficult to understand their motive. But what I cant understand is the attitude of our politicians including the President openly supporting the establishment of the Malayanadu in the central highlands not realizing the betrayal they are doing to this country and its people.

Systematic Indian invasion is seen everywhere. It is getting established in every field, political, economic and cultural, Even the distribution of fuel, More than 70% is in their hands by now. The funny thing in this field is the sheds are ours, Fuel is also ours, Staff ours even the fuel transporting vehicles are ours. Only the profit is theirs Already they have four diplomatic stations ,eg Colombo, Kandy, Jaffna and Hambantota through which they have spread their RAW network. This means they have already established their administrative network all over the Island. In this back drop what I can’t understand is as to what the hell the Sri Lankan Government is doing

Where the hell these mad Sri Lankan politicians are taking this country? Why isn’t there at least a single Mahanayaka Thera who head the Sangha fraternity in this country and who are called the ‘Jatiye muradevatavo’ of the nation or a social leader or a Civil Organization like the ‘Sadharana Samajayak Sandaha” take up these national issue with the President, whom they have elected. People will have to rise up soon and do something before these politicians sell the whole country to India leaving all of us at the bottom of the Indian Ocean.
