Forward march of PNM cannot be obstructed by petit moves! – Ven.
Dhambara Amila Thera |
Ven.
Dambara Amila Thera, Member of National Executive Council of the PNM and
its Information and Publication Secretary of said that the path of the
PNM cannot be tackled and obstructed by petit moves. He was delivering a
lecture at a public seminar titled ‘Responsibility of the national
movement in the face of foreign intervention’ at ‘Somro’ Reception Hall
at Maharagama today (16th).
Originally the event was to be held at National Youth Centre at
Maharagama, but the PNM was compelled to change the venue to Somro Hall
after the original venue was not granted. Despite the poster that
advertised the starting time of the seminar as 3.00 p.m., it was brought
forward and started at 10.00 a.m. Despite the change of venue, over
3,000 people attended the event. Due to inadequate space in the new
venue, the gathering was given seating facilities in the second floor of
the building, where a wide digital video screen was set up for them. In
addition, loudspeakers were installed for those who flocked around the
hall.
Speaking
at the seminar Ven. Dhambara Amila Thera said, “Patriots don’t need
halls to meet, to discuss country’s issues or apprise the people.
Denying a hall would not affect PNM even a wee bit. The forward march of
the National movement cannot be stopped that way. Rough tactics cannot
stop the correct path the National movement is taking.
The Patriotic National Movement was founded when Sri Lanka was a nursery
of the foreign enemy forces. The Patriotic National Movement was founded
not to be a tail of a crumbling regime but with far more noble
aspirations,” pointed out the information Secretary of the PNM.
At the time the PNM was founded the UNP government in power then was on
the verge of granting an interim administration to tiger organization
and the treacherous ‘Regain Sri Lanka’ programme was about to be
implemented said Ven. Amila Thero.
“Today heroic soldiers of our country are marching towards Mulaithivu
and Killinochchi with greatest difficulties. However, the government has
dissolved North Central and Sabaragamuwa Provincial councils and has
called for elections. The people’s minds that should be towards
defeating tiger terrorism are diverted towards some other direction.
Small fragments of parties which hang on to the government to lick the
bones that are discarded try to deceive the people without criticizing
the sinister moves of the government,” said Ven. Dhambara Amila Thero.
Ven. Vilegoda Ariyadeva Thero made a special speech. Ms. Posia Thasi
Hassan, Member of the Executive Committee of PNM and President of
‘Lakmawa Diyaniyo,’ Dr. Ms. Savithri Paulraj also addressed the seminar. |

Unprecedented crowd at PNM seminar |
|
‘Responsibilities
of the National Movement in the face of foreign
intervention’, the public seminar held by Patriotic National
Movement at ‘Somro’ Reception Hall at Maharagama was
attended by an unprecedentedly large crowd.
As there was no room in the hall the organizers had to
arrange another hall upstairs with video facilities to
accommodate the crowd. However when this hall too was filled
up the crowd filled the road and lands around ‘Somro’
reception hall.
The Information Secretary of the PNM Ven. Dhambara Amila

PNM will be purged after its National Convention scheduled
for next 16th - Rev. Aththangane Rathanapala Thero |
|
Steering
committee member of the Patriotic National Movement Dr. Rev.
Aththanangane Rathanapala Thero said that Patriotic National
Movement will be purged when its National Convention is
called on 16th of next month and it will move forward
vigorously based on its initial objectives.
Rev. Aththangane Rathanapala Thero said that the National
Executive Council of the Patriotic National Movement was
scheduled to meet this evening, but as the situation there
grew tense and was not suitable for a discussion, they
withdrew from the venue and took this decision.
The Thero added that although all district representatives
are invited to the National Executive Council meeting. They
were not allowed to participate at today's meeting.
Rev. Dambara Amila Thero, Propaganda Secretary of the PNM
Rev.
Dambara Amila Thero said that all members had not been
notified about today's meeting and only a few known to be
loyal to them had been informed. However all district
representatives had come for the Executive Council meeting,
but they were denied entry and only five of them were
allowed to attend the meeting. They did so to seem to be
democratic and to make the majority on their side.
Rev. Amila Thero said that the atmosphere at today's
Patriotic National Movement meeting was not as usual with
certain members under the influence of liquor and there were
people with arms inside the room.
"We cannot let anyone to vitiate the morality and democracy
of the National Movement. There should ne no room for
personal objectives. Attempts are being made to prostitute
the National Movement will move forward with its true
leadership for the accomplishment of the aspirations of the
country" Rev. Dambara Amila Thero said.

Call the General Convention and the Executive Council of the
patriotic National Movement forth with Members and leaders
of PNM force its Chairman |
|
Members
and leaders of the Patriotic National Movement force its
Chairmen Dr.Gunadasa Amarasekara to convence forth with its
Executive Council and General Convention.
This was announced at a media briefing held in Colombo 14th
May and it was attuned by archaeologist. Rev. Dambara Amila
Thero, members of the steering committee, members of the
Executive Council and all members of the District
committees.
Rev. Dambara Amila Thero said that using the resources of
the PNM in programmes subsequent to the special statement
made by Mr. Wimal weerawansa in the parliament on last 8th,
Dr. Gunadasa Amarasekara making statements as the chaiman of
the PNM in approval of the course of events and alignment of
a few members of the PNM with dissident Wimal Weerawansa led
to confusion among members of the PNM.
The Thero said that the dissident JVP MP's who left with Mr.
Wimal Weerawansa after his special statement went straight
to the office of the PNM and National organizer of the PNM
Mr, Senarathna De Silva and Mr. Wasantha Bandara who
addressed them are reported to have told "From now on PNM is
your party". Rev. Dambara Amila Thero also said that Mr.
Gunadasa Amarasekara in an artical written to a news paper
has told that "The greatest victory achieved by the PNM is
the defection of Mr.Wimal Weerawansa from JVP"
The Thero said that this sort of behaviour intensifies the
confusion among members of the PNM and there fore the best
way to solve this problem is for its chaiman Mr. Gunadasa
Amarasekara to convence the National Executive Council.
Forthwith Rev. Dambara Amila Thero added that the General
Convention should be convened early if necessary to get any
ideological derailments back on track and to reorganize the
movement. The national movement translated the book
"Confessions of an Economic Hit man" written by John
Perkins. He says that conspiracies range from very simple
ones to those that involve blood bath. PNM was organized to
straggle against imperialist. We were able to stop the couße
intended to make headway through Tsunami Relief Council and
Interim Administration Through temporarily
It
was a power full blow to the imperialists. We have the doubt
that the chairman of the PNM Mr. Gunadasa Amarasekara has
fallen prey to such a conspiracy due to his dependency on a
minority without calling the national executive council. The
struggle initiated by the PNM since its inception in 2003
has not achieved its prime objective "victory to the
motherland". We believe that PNM should continue to exist
and therefore demand that executive council should be
convened forthwith to solve this problem, Rev. Dambara Amila
Thero said.
Rev. Amila Thero said PNM has several battles to launch, but
they have not made headway due to problems at home.
Rev. Dambara Amila Thero who emphasized that the attemts
made by people like Rajitha Senarathna and Tissa Vitharana
to introduce a package with both unitary and federal
elements combined and the attempts to give land in the East
to foreigners should be defeated said that the sole
objective of the PNM is to win real freedom for the
motherland.

PNM launches Sinhala Translation of
"Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" |
|
Patriotic National Movement (PNM) organized the launching
ceremony of the Sinhalese translation of John Perkin’s book
"Confessions of an economic hit man" at Galle Face Hotel on
the30th of last month. The ceremony for the launching of the
translation by Educationalist Leelananda Gamachchi was
attended by all pioneer members of the PNM.
John Perkins, who was an economic assassinator disguised as
an economist and was maneuverd by the USA to develop its
‘empire’, spells out the savageness of the process.
Dr. Gunadasa Amarasekera, President of PNM addressing the
gathering said imperialism is active in spheres of economy,
culture and politics to gain mastery over the world.
“Imperialism entraps countries in debt snare by their
economic invasions. In 1977 our debt burden was not so
heavy. However, after 30 years our debt burden is over
Rs.2000 billion. This shows how imperialists act in the
economic sphere.
The next front of imperialism is the cultural front. They,
through cultural invasions, try to create an individual that
would be suitable for them. For this they use the media
intensively.
The next form of the imperialists is the political invasion.
This is implemented by such statements and threats as “if
action is taken to defeat tiger terrorists those responsible
for such action would be taken before a war tribunal.”
Speaking further Dr. Amarasekera said, “There is a special
background for John Perkins to create this book. The people
in this country are capable of comprehending the substance
of this book; our masses have the strength to change their
destiny.”
The General Secretary of the PNM Parliamentarian Wimal
Weerawansa addressing the gathering said, “Imperialists send
such economic assassinators to our countries to carry out
various undertakings. They become sources of wealth for
western companies. Subsequently, those countries are pushed
towards an abyss of debt. That’s what the kind of John
Perkins did in various countries. This is the 30 year
history of Sri Lanka as well.”
Speaking further Mr. Weerawansa said, “What imperialists do
next is make these countries their hostages. In doing so
they are made total colonial slaves. For this they get
organizations such as ‘Transparency International’ to issue
reports declaring these countries as ‘failed states.’ On the
pretext of administering the ‘failed state’ they intervene
in the country and turn it into a complete colony of
theirs,” said Mr. Weerawansa.

by patriotic National Movement on 26th November at the
Elpinsten theatre.
Patriotic National Movement had named the year 2007 as pre
Keppetipola year and 2008 was named as the Keppetipola year
at this commemoration.
Imperialists, who have decided to establish a human rights
office in Sri Lanka, have come to the zenith of their
invasion and their next attempt would be to bring down a
foreign ‘peace’ keeping force said Dr. Gunadasa Amaraskera,
President of Patriotic National Movement (PNM) speaking at
this commemoration. Their attempt is to disintegrate Sri
Lanka he pointed out.
Dr. Amaraskera emphasized that Sri Lanka could shatter the
shackles of invasion only by following the path taken by
Heroic Monarawila Keppitipola. Hence, PNM has taken measures
to name year 2008 as the “Year of Heroic Keppetipola” said
Dr. Amarasekera.
Even after 189 years of his death Heroic Monarawila
Keppitipola has been able to attract the present generation
in Sri Lanka towards him said Parliamentarian and General
Secretary of PNM Wimal Weerawansa addressing the
commemoration ceremony and added that only very special
people could have that kind of vigour.

General Secretary of PNM Warn the risk of govt suspending
security operations |
|
A risk of government suspending security
operations in the north and east has emerged, Wimal
Weerawansa, the general secretary of PNM said today
addressing a media briefing at Colombo.
Mr. Weerawansa pointed out that security
forces have liberated the east from the grip of Wanni Tigers
and hearing that the imperialist forces are agitated. Since
the government by allowing Norway special envoy Hanssen
Bauer to visit kilinochchi, there arise doubts whether it
has changed the early position of rejecting diplomatic
attempts to reach Tiger held areas. PNM general secretary
explained this as a response to Co-chair request and further
the imperialist forces may intervene to withheld security
measures so as to stop LTTE defeat. |

Rice
instead of wheat flour |
|
Patriotic
National Movement has started a manufacturing project termed
“Deye Diviya” using rice flour in place of wheat flour. This
will save the country a lot of foreign exchange which will
otherwise flow to foreign countries. This will also
strengthen the hand of the local farmer and held establish
the identity of Sri Lanka. This will also be a corner stone
for the revival of the economic independence of Sri Lanka.
Professor
Rev. Aththangane Rathanapala Thero is pioneering this
project the commencement of which was marked by a ceremony
held in Galle, A large number of bakery owners making
products from rice flour were present at this ceremony. They
provided solid proof that any product made with wheat flour
can be made with rice flour as well. This if implemented is
a viable project. |
