sarath fonseka supporters incite and welcome violence

yesterday sarath fonseka's supporters held a violent protest against his arrest. they attacked police. they damaged private and public property. they tried to enter colombo court premises unlawfully.

so much for respect for rule of law !

imo there was nothing wrong with arresting a person like sarath foneska against whom there is mass of evidence to start a lawful prosecution. (btw i will write a separate post examining sri lankan blogosphere's various objections to his arrest in the next few days.) but if his supporters and defendants think that action should be protested they are free to do so, peacefully. they are also free to file a fundamental rights petition if they want to challenge the arrest (they say they will).

they (mainly pathetic out of touch political refugees in fonseka's unholy alliance of unp, jvp, tna, slmc, etc) however chose violence. they used false accounts of sarath fonseka's arrest with allegations of physical abuse, parading his teary wife in front of cameras (to allege more falsehoods about lack of access to him), etc. to drive his supporters to a violent frenzy.

so much for truth! so much for respect for rule of law and constitution!

if they think violence is going to help them they are wrong.

but his supporters were happy with it so far and vow more. in sl blogosphere too their supporters welcome it. indi padashow samarajiva, an online propagandist employed by unp, is saying it is something to be thankful about (several hours after the event. so well aware of violent nature of the protest. note that.).

do they believe such violence is justified?
if so that is no surprise. in fact that is typical of them.

remember same ppl thought tamil tiger ltte terrorist violence was justified. they subscribed to racist notion that ltte represented tamils and perverted logic that tamil grievances (some of which are real) inevitably leads to violence (they probably think poverty leads to theft too). some of them thought jvp terrorist violence was justified too.

well most ppl, and thus most sri lankans, don't think such violence is justified or welcome it.

will these lovers of violence complain as and when they face the lawful consequences of their violence (as they should) ? hypocrites will certainly complain, but don't expect us to empathize.

hypocrisy of indi.padashow's election spam and 'illegal' campaigning for sarath fonseka

indi of indi.ca and padashow blogs, sunday times columnist, person who ran unp online campaign in 2005, and son of a former political appointee whose patrons are now in sarath fonseka camp, is presently sitting in unp office and spewing out pro sarath fonseka propaganda from at least one of his blogs; indi.ca (he has so many others under various unacknowledged names).

his main complaints; mahinda rajapaksa has not stopped campaigning! even though it is 'illegal' to campaign in the last few days and on election day! what are these illegal campaigning tactics? getting himself indirectly referenced in ads, pasting posters etc, and some faux election complaint website allegedly run (according to indi) by mr camp .


(click images to enlarge)

now lets see what indi.padashow doing?
he is collecting complaints and documenting them for spreading . see this tweet



he is spreading unsubstantiated dangerous irresponsible rumors about bombs and such, received from sf supporters at second or third hand.


all this while he is working for unp and has endorsed sarath fonseka!
did anyone say faux complaints? lol

iow, if you want to file a faux complaint, don't go to alleged faux website run by some supporter of mr, go to indi's faux complaint office in unp office. they are the same thing from different parties.

same with illegal campaigning, indi.padashow in his website is campaigning for sarath fonseka today! in his hypocritical indignation he also forget such obvious facts like how sarath fonseka got interviewed on sirasa tv at normal news hour on sunday pushing news back by 15min. (sirasa is tv version of leader newspapers. both part of unp propaganda machinery). what about all those sf posters all around colombo today?

did anyone say hypocrite!!!

btw i am only commenting on his hypocrisy. as far as i am concerned he is free to campaign for unp and sf if he wants.

after all, political parties in all democracies exploit loopholes in campaign laws to get their message out. to pretend, as indi does, that it is one sided and only practiced by mr, while doing the same thing himself is hypocrisy. has he really not heard of 'push polls', '527 groups', etc in usa even tough he lived there? lol @ hypocrite

why is he acting thus?
indi was perhaps informed, what experienced unp hands in the office knew from first, that sf is going to lose big. (indi himself is clueless about all things sri lankan. among other basic facts he did not know until few day ago that one can mark 3 preferences in the ballot). in fact that is what unp leader ranil wickremasinghe's wants; get sf defeated, remain party leader/opposition leader for next 6 years hoping for better luck then.

indi behavior now is perhaps a crazed reaction to final realization that his often claimed competitive close election is far from real, a figment of pure imagination, created by silly racist myths about 'sinhalese' splitting votes and 'tamils' deciding, and manipulated election projections.

perhaps he was ordered by his bosses to use online propaganda to start creating the impression that election was rigged; always the default position of losers in sri lanka .

whatever the motivation, hypocrisy is obvious.
