Well! Going\u00a0 by\u00a0 Nicky Karunarutne\u2019s\u00a0 revelations that keeps on unwinding gradually and continuously, it is beginning to unravel more under for so long!<\/span><\/p>\n

As many interesting disclosures become\u00a0 exposed in the future, one thing that will register \u00a0in readers\u2019 mind would be the stand taken by the patriotic Sri Lankan, who had been disillusioned at first, but his country on top of politics, as time passed by.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second Presidential election held in 1982, was fought amongst the candidates, was fought amongst the candidates in a competitive atmosphere. They were Colvin Reginald Silva, Hector Kobbekaduwa, Kumar Ponnamblam,\u00a0 Rohana Wijeweera and Vasudeva Nanayakkara from the Nava Sama Samaja Party.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the\u00a0 ruling party (UNP)\u00a0 incumbent President, J.R.Jayawardena contested; the SLFP was represented\u00a0 by Hector Kobbekaduwa, who did not get full backing due to the infighting undercurrent tactics existed within the party. Rohana Wijeweera (JVP), Kumar Ponnanbalam (All Ceylon Tamil Congress), Colvin R.de Silva and Vasudeva Nanayakkara from the Nava Sama Samaja Party.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colvin Reginald Silva assumed he had a better chance of making a mark, but You are a bit late to expose such characters! However, it is\u00a0 better late than never<\/em>! They were pretending to be the saviours of the proletariat. You may also be aware of Dr.N.M.Perera going\u00a0 through the share list every morning as habitual, despite\u00a0 his\u00a0 schedule!\u00a0 <\/strong>Do you know anything about the problems arose then with regard to \u2018Giridara Mills?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the day, it was a total disappointment for his party supporters when he ended up with only 58,531.00 votes against J.R.Jayawardena, who scored 3,450.811 votes,\u00a0 Hector Kobbekaduwa managed to get only\u00a0 2,548.438, Kumar Ponnanbalam 173,934 and Nanayakkara from the Nava Sama Samaja Party received only 17,005 votes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nicky Karunaratne was involved in Colombo district, particularly in Borella, Colombo 7, \u00a0which was a unique electorate with one section of the population diluted with murder \u00a0and murder in areas such as Wanathamulla, while another section of the electorate consisted of an affluent elite society, which existed of Colombo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wanathamulla had been converted into a \u2018No go zone\u2019<\/strong> area except for UNP sympathisers. The place was infested with daring and dangerous type of ruffians of the UNP, who carried out hand bombs and swords threatening the entire neighborhood. For, Colvin, therefore, it became a non-starter, even to dream of visiting the area without Nicky Karunaratne, who was well known among the Wanathamulla down trodden population.<\/span><\/p>\n

As an adult he had been intermingling with all levels in Wanathamulla. his best friend was Mhinda Dharmapla, the owner of Borella Wallawa, who was equally fearless \u00a0and the underworld gangs known as \u2018canditates\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nicky\u2019s humility had earned a lot of respect in the area, which made him certain group to approach him to request him and further him to send Colvin R de Silva to the area, alone unless escorted by Nicky Karunaratne!<\/span><\/p>\n

That helped Colvin R de Silva to canvas in Wanathamulla area with confidence by going very deep inside of Wanathamulla\u00a0 locale and holding \u2018 garden meetings in the company of Nicky.<\/span><\/p>\n

M.H.Mohamed (UNP), who was based in Borella also had influence over the Wanthamulla folk equally. Nicky Karunaratne was identified as the Chief Organiser of the LSSP for Borella at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, M.H. Mohomed day, prior to vote counting at Royal College premises, Nicky was allowed\u00a0 four\u00a0comrades from the LSSP \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 with\u00a0 all the necessary documents that leads to the delegation as the\u00a0 chief scrutiniser for the Party. The late M.H.Mohomed represented the UNP with five people, while\u00a0 Ragitha\u00a0 Senaratne represented the SLFP candidate Kobbekaduwa.<\/span><\/p>\n

The election Ordinanance of the country strictly stipulated \u00a0that only five personnel. However, M.H.Mohomed, being a minister of the Cabinet\u00a0 at the time had brought one extra person, which ensued an argument, following an objection raised by M.H. Mohomed alleging the minister\u2019s government to abuse the government power!<\/span><\/p>\n

This led\u00a0 to somewhat a hullabaloo, which ended up being reported to the Election Commissioner counting centre. M.H. Mohomed had to knuckle under with a lot of\u00a0 pressure, and according balled\u00a0 over \u00a0\u00a0by this this government\u00a0 challenging powerful\u00a0 minister at J.R. Jaywawardene Cabinet !<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Subsequently, when Nicky and M.H.Mohomed became thick of fiends. When latter Tansport Department for buses and introduced a new concept \u00a0for buses as a separate Department. Nicky still remembers with gratitude how Mohomed added his request and appointed Mrs. Soma Kotadeniya ( with a comment that it was not suitable\u00a0 for a female) as the Director\u00a0 of the new department.<\/span><\/p>\n

It did not take \u00a0the over responsibilities of the new Director of her new department to investigate what M.H.Mohomed had commented on prior to her appointment when the big head were in the JRJ administration. She was sent her the proverbial administrative where \u2018 \u2018she had nothing to do except twiddling her thumbs\u2019!<\/span><\/p>\n

This made her really irritated and frustrated. Then she took it personally as a punishment meted out to her by her JRJ government. Sill, Nicky Karunaratene was very happy that a LSSP member of the LSSP, his inititiave to convince the UNP minister had, and he manged to get some Koakadeniya appointed as the first of the omnibus<\/span><\/p>\n

Seemingly, she progressed in her\u00a0 career and became the Commissioner of RMV Motor moto (Registrar of Motor vehicles) and late she introduced the computerised plastic driving licence in Sri Lanka by replacing the \u2018book-type\u2019\u00a0 of\u00a0 Certificate of Competenc to drive any type of motor vehicles. <\/em><\/strong>Nicky Karunaratha appreciates M.H.Mohomed as a true politian\u00a0 gentleman\u00a0 a pleasing politician to regard to Party politics when he had to take some ac Respect.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c As a politician, I (Niky) a always respect having known as an opposition political party, yet keeping his\u00a0 ministries as well as his residence always open for me without any security or protocols\u201d says Nicky.`<\/span><\/p>\n

During an assessment during the first Presidential elections in Sri \u00a0shambles with the final nail in the political coffin as a political party\u00a0 to recon with!<\/span><\/p>\n

This was based on the fact that stalwarts Dr. N.M.Perera got defeated to absolutely unknown candidate from Yatiyantota\u00a0 as much as\u00a0 Colvin R.de Silva lost appallingly.<\/span><\/p>\n

As an Organiser of the. LSSP, Nicky states that the \u201cLSSP\u201d managed to get to get the hornet\u2019s nest upon their own\u00a0 shoulders\u00a0 mainly due to the attitude adopted\u00a0 by the party ignoring\u00a0 the voice of the country,<\/span><\/p>\n

They did not want to see the truth as only made hair splitting arguments to deny the due place of the destitute Sinhala Buddhist majority. 1970-1977 was the only chance they had, if at all, to serve the masses. But\u00a0 it came to an abrupt end\u00a0 by getting kicked out of the government unceremoniously<\/span><\/p>\n

This was\u00a0 due to the LSSP unscrupulous henchmen who were hell bent in using every chance they had their Christian Tamil agenda to work! Even at present (in 2014) it is evident from some of the newspapers articles\u00a0 by various authors who tried to propergate this issue to punsish the Rajapasksa government with all dam lies with the so-called international community better known as predator nations, who think who can\u00a0 win the Bible in one hand and sword in the other!<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout history this has been the case, if others do it in a diffetent way, it becomes intolerable for others to digest.<\/span><\/p>\n
