Hartal-Left and Trade Unionism. – Dr. Tilak S. Fernando<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Hartal\"<\/p>\n

\"TilakDuring\u00a0 Hartel<\/strong> ( the General strike) organanised by the Marxist parties in 1953 to express public dissatisfaction over the cost of rice of the GCSU ( General Clerical Services\u00a0 Union). Mr. Kanakasamy was shot by the police lead by LSSP\u00a0 stalwarts; Dr. N.M.Perera, Dr. Colvin de Silva and Lesley Gunawardena. The GCSU was\u00a0 powerful and acted as in the form of real power to demand a prominent powerful upsurge until 1985. It was stated by Nicky Karunaratne, who was based on the LSSP hierarchy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018The old left\u2019<\/strong> liked to look back with heroic nostalgia of the\u00a0 1953 general strike as the vital event of their, history. Consequently,\u00a0 for many years to follow the general strike as an occasion for provoking speeches\u00a0 by left party members.<\/span><\/p>\n

A review of the past showed that the old left of the SLFP, which benefitted out the hartal in the popular\u00a0 upsurge of 1956, which felled the UNP and brought S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike\u00a0 as the Prime Minister.<\/span><\/p>\n

The GCSU Head Quarters.<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0 GCSU headquarters in Fort was a small \u2018 but\u2019 during the sixties but later it was converted into a multi-million story building under the leadership of I.J. Wickrema\u00a0 and K.M. Karunaratne. Inside their office hanged a photograph of the famous 1953 hartal including the victim of Kandasamy on display\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

I.J. Wickrema was outspoken gentleman, who was highly critical of Mr. N. M. Pereira\u2019s demand overtures, after becoming\u00a0 the finance minister. Finally, he was kicked of\u00a0 the leadership by N.M. for going against N.M.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0 new headquarters was opened by Mrs.Bandrarnaike when she was the Prime Minister with a very colourful ceremony with a\u00a0 momentous Pirith ceremony\u00a0 throughout the night.<\/span><\/p>\n

When, Kandasamy died of gunshot wounds, the LSSP thought it was a\u00a0 new beginning for their- future project visa vis \u2013 \u00a0to power\u00a0 by implementing their future project.<\/span><\/p>\n

GCSU was considered the most powerful alliance among the\u00a0 Trade Union forum<\/strong> where NM had\u00a0 a steady and a close union with it. Even\u00a0 SWRD Bandaranaike\u00a0 was unable\u00a0 to govern the country the country, peacefully due to the interference against his government.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was in fact due to the LSSP\u2019s deceptive, dishonest and sneaky undercurrent manipulations that the Tamil workers always got the upper hand and managed to secure fine jobs while, lamentedly in a country like Sri Lanka, where\u00a0 there was a majority of Buddhists were\u00a0 denied were denied of any chance in a beneficial capacity being employed as minor workers or having to depend on labour\u00a0 as a means of\u00a0 substance!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0It was intended a sad dilemma where the majority of the population (Sinhala people) had to succumb to minor jobs in an insignificant capacity while\u00a0 the minority (Tamils) enjoyed all the<\/span><\/p>\n

The Tamil percentage up to 70% at the time, until politicians in the form of Tamil , until Politicians such as T.B.Illngaratne caliber changed this government administrative policy to employ more rural\u00a0 youth by directly introducing the State Language<\/em> policy of Sinhala only.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the Gloomy Period.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

During those \u2018gloomy, low-spirited\u00a0 days the \u2018Jaffna train from Colombo\u00a0 to Jaffna was fully packed from Maradana station, which consisted of Tamils, who were employed in the South<\/span><\/p>\n

For the week end, yet the irony being when the train reached Anuradhapura station, Tamils for the week end, yet the irony\u00a0 being when reached Anuradhapura station, Tamils who were looking for yet when the train reached Anuradhapura station, Tamils took absolute control of the train by pushing Sinhala passengers out of their way up to Jaffna. It was a time where some of the Sinhalese men from the South had business in the North.<\/span><\/p>\n

Karunaratne recalls<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Karunaratne recalls on several occasions when Colvin R d Silva to addressed, for \u00a0not\u00a0 fathoming \u00a0the mentality of those LSSP hierarchy for misleading their Union members boiled down to nothing, else but to expose their endeavor to utilize the \u2018ill-literate\u2019 working\u00a0 within the main Government.<\/span><\/p>\n

On several occasion when Colvin R de Silva addressed the union backed \u2018strikers\u2019<\/strong>, he managed to condition the workers by injecting \u2018poison\u2019 into their minds thinking that by repeating in mantra from saying that, \u201c strikes alone is useless\u2026\u2026but you have to organize rallies and agitate from your work places; at least to throw a stone to spill some blood on the floor\u2019!<\/span><\/p>\n

One should not just fathom the mentality of the hierarchy for misleading their Union member which, simply boils down to nothing\u00a0 else but\u00a0 to expose their\u00a0 endeavor\u00a0 to utilize the \u201cIlle- rate\u201d working classes masses for their own ends!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201csuch tactics never helped them to any demands, even when the LSSP enjoyed three portfolios in Mrs. Sirimavo Bandaranaike\u2019s government, and the result being their demands were thrown out of the window. Mrs. Bandaranaike decided to get rid\u00a0 of the LSSP coalition from the SLFP government, within a proverbial honeymoon!<\/span><\/p>\n

Those\u00a0 so called \u201cRed Leaders\u201d<\/strong> lead a double life in the luxury,\u00a0 including Peter Kenuman of the\u00a0 Communion \u00a0enjoyed for a\u00a0 swim at the Otter\u2019s Club, in Colombo 7. He was\u00a0 a keen swimmer and has arrived with visitors in \u00a0the swimming pool those days. It was a different breed of affluent people in the society. Peter Kenuman was a Minister of Construction at the time. Going by what these personnel used to talk covertly in their private, he completely lived completely what they advocated, was rather\u00a0 baffling from their\u00a0 political philosophy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Vicky remembers Vijaya\u2019s <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Going\u00a0 back to the days when Vijaya Kumaratunga was released released\u00a0 from prison, Vicky remembers and wanted to join the LSSP, yet his decision\u00a0 away from his own Party and joining LSSP. When Vijaya contested the election, I drove all the way from Colombo\u00a0 to help with his electioneering with financial contribution (Half\u00a0 of which was my friend Kotakadeniya.\u00a0 On the<\/span><\/p>\n

On the following morning I, ( Nicky Karunaratne) drove I \u00a0drove all the a following morning, I gave our contribution to K.P. Silva of the LSSP hierarchy for going and betraying the LSSP for betraying us like just like the LSSP hierarchy for betraying us like the\u00a0 LSSP hierarchy by going to Jaffna with him with Chandrika and meeting with ruthless terrorist\u00a0 Prabakaran, who suffered from a mental disorder and a meglomaniniic , relates Nicky.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was a ruthless terrorist\u00a0 Prabakaran, who suffered from a mental disorder and a meglomaniniic , relates Nicky .The\u00a0 money was given to K.P .Silva at\u00a0 the Minneriya Rest House<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0This is not the\u00a0 first time in Sri Lanka of such an intrusion by the CIA, says Nicky, but it has\u00a0 a record of such activities\u00a0 from time immorality. \u00a0CIA gets very main objectives or break\u00a0 backbone of other Nations and get through their other agendas and their own games.\u201d!<\/span><\/p>\n
