Ranil visits India after concluding tour of Japan for tripartite agreements !
-Neanderthal Leftists and supporters of discarded Rajapakses stage meaningless strike
(Lanka-e-New-
25.April.2017, 11.00PM) Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe will be
visiting India on an official tour on the 25 th.
While in India he will have bilateral discussions with Indian P.M. Sri
Narendra Modi . He will also be meeting with senior ministers, and
Congress party leader Ms. Sonia Gandhi .
The P.M. during a meeting with the public at Suduwella recently , he
said , he will be leaving for India for discussions to launch several
development projects , and to sign tripartite agreements among Sri Lanka
, India and Japan.
The P.M.concluded his tour of Japan recently and returned to the Island.
Wickremesinghe explained as follows at Suduwella …
“I shall be leaving for India with a message from president
Maithripala Sirisena . Dicussions are to be held with Indian P.M.
Narendra Modi. The aim is to initiate development programs in the East ,
Central and Western provinces based on tripartite agreements . The
Trincomalee port is to be made an extremely fast developing Port.
Japan is extending support to some projects while India is
providing the balance assistance. India and Japan are ready to provide
assistance towards several Trincomalee Port projects . Singapore will be
assisting in the Trincomalee Port development .India and Japan are
expecting to provide assistance to build two natural liquid gas
stations in Kerawalapitiya . In addition , a floating natural gas pool
is to be built in the sea jointly by Japan and India ,” the P.M. elaborated.
Professor Maithri Wickremesinghe , minister for disaster management
Anura Priyadharhsana Yapa, Development strategy and international trade
minister Malik Samaraweera , Secretary to P.M. , Saman Ekanayake ,
additional secretary Saman Athaudahetti and special assistant Sandra
Perera are participating in the Indian tour .
Meanwhile, Minister of State enterprises Kabeer Hashim
addressing a media briefing on the 24 th revealed the government’s
policies in regard to oil tanks. An agreement has been reached ,
according to which , the primary ownership of Trincomalee oil tanks will
be with the government . Out of that 14 tanks will belong to LIOC , 10
tanks will belong to the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) , and the
balance 74 will be run as a joint venture between the two countries, he
said.
There are no plans at all to sell any harbor in SL, and if such an
opinion exists , that is a misconception. Even previously , Trincomalee
oil tanks were entrusted to India , and hitherto no Institution or
the government used all these oil tanks , the minister pinpointed.
Besides , the CPC had no ownership of any of these oil tanks hitherto.
On the advice of the P.M., a group including minister Chandima Weerakody
toured India recently . It is following discussions there , the
aforementioned agreement was reached , and everything is being done
according to that agreement, the minister pointed out.
Meanwhile , the Neanderthal Leftists and supporters of
the defeated discarded Rajapakses have staged a strike falsely alleging
the Trincomalee oil tanks are being sold to India. What is crucial to
note is , the 99 oil tanks of Trincomalee which were built by the
British during the colonial era had been in existence for the last 70
years. . Yet the leftist parties to which these unions belong , during
their period when they were with the ruling governments did nothing or
took any action to make use of the oil tanks . It is now these unions
are staging strikes when development programs are under way . This is
most intriguing.
The trade unions of SL are only taking advantage of the democratic freedom now prevailing under the good governance , and are misusing that freedom. They are not staging strikes with genuine motives to achieve true demands or for the benefit of the people . They are politically motivated and serve foul anti national agendas. Those demands are extreme and retrogressive. Among their many anti national agendas are : opposing the development of Hambantota Port which is now a white elephant ; and the development of the Trincomalee oil tanks .

These demands are not because of any true concern for
country’s economy or its development , rather simply based on pseudo
patriotism carrying the hackneyed slogan ‘country is being sold’ which
everyone knows are bogus dramas.As these unions are aware if their
foul political agendas are made directly known , they would stand naked
, so under the guise of trade union demands , their hidden agendas are
being pursued.
In the modern era , countries like Malaysia and Singapore did not achieve their development goals based on the antiquated advice and outmoded concepts of these discarded Neanderthal Leftists .
