Comments on: The Coup: Smelt It, Dealt It http://indi.ca/2010/02/the-coup-smelt-it-dealt-it/ I'm a Sri Lankan American Canadian graduate trying to make something of myself in Colombo Sat, 11 Feb 2012 09:20:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Danush http://indi.ca/2010/02/the-coup-smelt-it-dealt-it/comment-page-1/#comment-243209 Danush Wed, 01 Dec 2010 03:09:41 +0000 http://indi.ca/?p=2940#comment-243209 Interesting, reading old posts by indrajit... Wonder if he still feels the same way about Fonseka and also Mahinda or if he has sold out/been coerced to toe the UPFA party line... If he isn't important enough to be bought/coerced, wonder if he has succumbed to his Sinhalese heritage and forgotten about Fonseka and his contribution to the nation. Why aren't more people outraged at the treatment of Fonseka and the conduct of this Government? Interesting, reading old posts by indrajit…

MR supporters (many not all) think the gov may break any rules as long as they punish SF. sooo this is quite representive of the sanest logic in Sri Lankan minds these days. so can't blame ya. indi says: “Perhaps he should have staged a coup”. that explains his desperation. how tired he feels about the government. reading back, even in his earliest posts, it seems he never liked MR. he thought his smile is dunt etc etc. whether MR broke the amendments or not, he m8 have felt the same way anyway. he would want some 1 to break what ever possible laws to oust MR some how.

It does not give MR the right to continue ignoring it. Both the 13th and 17th Amendments are PASSED. They are a part of our constitution for better or for worse. They are not up for debate and until they are repealed or amended as per the constitution (with a two-thirds majority) they have to be implemented. MR does not have a license to decide which bit of the constitution he likes and which bits he prefers to ignore.

In 1987 during the 2nd term of 1st prez (JR). So why ppl suddenly remember that 13th is not implemented? Do you know any country having a constitutional council like proposed in 17th? I am just curious. Do u know when the 13th was passed? In 1987 during the 2nd term of 1st prez (JR). So why ppl suddenly remember that 13th is not implemented?

Or all the Supreme Court Orders that also sail straight over Government heads without even slowing their law breaking down for a minute. Proof?

For example you say "His government daily violates the Constitution and breaks the law" where is proof? u actually entertain westerners who are trying to hit our country. You are providing them with reasons and points but those points dont have validity. They will just use thse saying 'even Sri Lankans thmesleves are saying,,,see" So, you are not standing by ur country. SF did wrong, thats clear, he said lies like white flags in front of publoc for vote advantage. That is pure wrong, and he should be dealt with and he is beeen dealt with. Thank MR and govt for that. The govt could have played 'nice man' role and not take action. But then the country is at rick bcos this unresponsbile person keep telling these stories to western media. Some of his recording to western media are shame, and hour before arrest he said he is going to do it regardless. And he HAS to be dealt with. So, its higly logival and u dont have any proof of what u r saying. The state has to be safeguarded at all costs and if it SF who is the problem in doing that, he has to be dealt with.
