A Future Oriented Policy Statement
08 January 2020
The recent presidential election can be considered as the most competent
election in the history of politics. The main reason to say so is the ballet
paper represents 35 candidates, reporting the highest number of candidates in
the history of election in Sri Lanka. Perhaps they may eagerly waiting to do
something valuable on behalf of the citizens in Sri Lanka though it sounds
sarcasm.
While two main parties are competed to be the president of Sri Lanka,
some alternative options began to be highlighted, pinpointing the weaknesses of
both of the previous regimes. Especially the regime under Mr. Mahinda
Rajapaksha was remarkably highlighted for many allegations such as the murder
of Lasantha Wickramathunga, an outstanding character of journalism and
Thajudeen, a rugger player who had to give up his life because of the enormous
powers of family bandyism.
Most of the political characters tried to paint a
horrible picture of the emerging future under Gotabaya Rajapaksha during the
election campaign. The main point of journalists is that they had a peaceful
environment during the period of Good Governance to express their thoughts with
no boundaries and nobody defeated them. Therefore journalists are still fear to
accept Mr. Gotabhaya Rajapaksha as the 7th executive president Sri
Lanka.
