From John D’Oyly to Robert O’Blake by Lt Col (Retd) Anil Amarasekera
This is an article written to express my profound gratitude to the ordinary people of this country for having taken the correct decision at the just concluded presidential election. If they had taken the wrong decision this nation may well have suffered once more under foreign domination, as it did from 2 nd March 1815 for nearly 133 years under the British colonial administration, until independence was regained once more on 4 th February 1948.

Sarath Fonseka has been taken into custody on Monday 08th of February and is being investigated for offenses against the Army Act.
NOTE : The foundation has received the article below from the UNP party office by an anonymous author who’s brother had sacrificed his life for the party. Whilst expressing sympathy for his views we may not agree with his observation of an ‘intelligent’ leader who has managed to systematically destroy a once formidable organization that had the support of the vast Patriotic Silent Majority.
The age of Sovereignty dawned with the attainment of Independence from the British colonial yoke. It was a land of lush greenery. The new generation kissed their beloved land, where giants of the caliber of the late D.S.S. held sway, greeted by the 700,000 voters, whose majority formed the green society.
During the last decade, the Sri Lankan green society, sacriced so much for a brighter future for the motherland.
In the last phase of the 80s, when over 10,000 brethren, including my brother was killed in cold blood, when the JVP unleashed terror, we faced the challenges, going through untold hardships to preserve the green society, as a political party with clear economic & political vision, a development strategy. Our party, the UNP presented its identity proudly, with the majestic elephant, as its cherished symbol.
