NALIN DE SILVA ATTACKS RANIL WICKREMESINGHE FOR TRYING TO ECHO WHAT “HIS MASTERS SAY IN BRITAIN WHO CREATED THE PROBLEM”

Calling Ranil Wickremesinghe, the UNP leader an agent of the West Professor Nalin de Silva of the Kelaniya University said the UNP leader is instructing the government to accept solutions by the creators of the problem in Sri Lanka and such “solutions” could be suicidal for the country.

“Ranil Wickremesinghe who spends most of his time abroad would not have known the proposals at first hand. However, if he was genuinely interested in the proposals he could have obtained the necessary information from various websites or from a friend in Sri Lanka,”said Nalin De Silva further criticizing the Leader of Opposition.

Further attacking Ranil Wickremesinghe Nalin De Silva said no problem can be solved without knowing what the problem is. This is a “fundamental axiom” in Sinhala Buddhist culture, and Ranil Wickremesinghe who is alien to that culture would not have known it. Instead of Studying the problem, he is satisfied with echoing the views of his masters in the west, and he wants the President also to emulate him.
