Pol Pot’s brothers call me Hitler’s brother: MR

Those who call me Adolf Hitler’s elder brother are Pol Pot’s younger brothers, former President Mahinda Rajapaksa told a public meeting held at Sri Visuddarama Temple in Mawathagama, Kurunegala.

He denied the allegation made by New York Times in its report, ‘How China got Sri Lanka to cough up a port’; he said it was a story planted by the present administration to attack him.

“The country’s largest bond scam has created a situation in which various allegations are being levelled against current leaders in the government. To cover up their wrongdoings, they have contacted a paper from overseas and planted a story against us. I have invited them to investigate my bank accounts and even volunteered to provide my account numbers. I told them that if they find any wrongdoings I will take a knife and cut my throat. They are still searching for evidence,” Mr. Rajapaksa said.

He said the Government not only wanted to sling mud at him, but also wanted to cover up their wrongdoings.

Mr. Rajapaksa said no international organisation had given them money; these were false allegations.

With regard to the upcoming provincial council elections he said some wanted it held under the previous system while others say that they want a new system.
“Whatever method is used we will surely win,” he added.

With reference to the 2020 presidential election he said his party would select a candidate who can follow the 'Mahinda Chinthana’ manifesto. (Thilanka Kanakarathna)

Former Chief Justice Sarath Silva declared in public that if he had not absolved you from that case , certainly you could have ended in jail. What else the stronger difference than is needed to judge your integrity

He always uses temples for his political speeches, Temples are for praying and not for hearing political speeches.

Appu Monday, 02 July 2018 05:41 AM

Retire gracefully. We have had enough of your Mahinda Chinthana a.k.a. autocracy and nepotism!

Gayan Sunday, 01 July 2018 07:42 PM

Lets hold elections and let the people decide who should retire.

lion Sunday, 01 July 2018 03:13 PM

Unlike some of the srilankan news papers we don't believe that NYT has resorted to publish a report to tarnish the name of Rajapakshas. What benefit it receives for distorting facts with regard to a third world politician like MR. This is really a stupid statement by MR which no one will believe.

JAK Monday, 02 July 2018 04:40 AM

The reason NYT published is Money... paid to so...

antonsunil Sunday, 01 July 2018 03:14 PM

Lord Wolfstein Sunday, 01 July 2018 04:29 PM

Mahindha chinthana has ended up in loss making projects in Hambantota.last flight flydubai also stopped

Dee Sunday, 01 July 2018 08:28 PM

But the financial advisers son now talking big. With blessings of cardboard hero aka future presidential candidate from the US.

Rohan Sunday, 01 July 2018 05:04 PM

The only force working 24/7 to stop the Chinese in Hambantota,even at this late stage,is the Indian government. Indians consider Sri Lanka as sort of their “colony” and the Chinese having a port there is totally unacceptable to them. It is more likely Indians planted the story in the New York Times.

divza Sunday, 01 July 2018 05:15 PM

so you dont want a future leader to have his own 'chinthana'instead want to follow your footsteps and be a dummy fellow ???

Unchikun Sunday, 01 July 2018 05:24 PM

"Pol Pot’s brothers call me Hitler’s brother". We call you Ali Baba!

Cobra Sunday, 01 July 2018 07:10 PM

Hitler, Mussolini, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Kaddafi-what difference does it make, they were all dictators!!!

Citizen Perera Sunday, 01 July 2018 08:18 PM

You are the scandalous politician we ever had.

TONY Sunday, 01 July 2018 11:16 PM

WHY DO YOU GO TO TEMPLE. TO WORSHIP OR TO GIVE STATEMENTS TO THE MEDIA. IT WILL BE BETTER IF YOU CAN TALK IN PARLIAMENT WITHOUT MAKING STATEMENT IN TEMPLES

Waru Monday, 02 July 2018 03:07 AM

MR your a joke. You can fool the rural population into believing you. You put the national carrier into shambles, country into $44 billion worth of hoplese projects and debt. And yes you sold the coutry to China for your own personal gains. I dont think any renowned economist in the world would agree that Hambantota needed an airport and harbour of that magnitude.

Manel Monday, 02 July 2018 03:30 AM

Hitler wanted decimate only Jews. MR wanted to decimate Tamils, Muslims and all who dissented especially journalists.

Tilak Monday, 02 July 2018 07:22 AM

Will you give the bank account deta6of your other family members??

S.P.RAMKUMAR Monday, 02 July 2018 07:58 AM

Sri Lanka is a grate democratic country where people select their representative to rule this governments, Hitler OR pol Pot never being selected to rule this country. We don't want to call nay person as a Hitler Even one of frustrated minded Monk need a Hitler type ruler. We have respect each politicians who are selected by people of this country.

fareed Monday, 02 July 2018 12:45 PM

Well, he never had election in one shot and the same way the government will have election when they have done something good for the people because the government has wasted three years by doing nothing but allowing protests and strikes.

Sihab Monday, 02 July 2018 01:01 PM

Useless comparison. It’s too late to react.

Pasel Monday, 02 July 2018 11:07 PM
