If he delivers same speech in UN , everybody will leave the assembly hall except Sri Lankan Deligation. After coming back to Sri Lanka , they will say whole world is afraid of our King & they all ran away because our king is supreme in the world
JAYA WEWA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those who choose not to understand this speech is pathetic.

Look at the passion when Obama delivered his speech. Where this guy stands? He is king to his VILLAGE BANDAS like you.

Did the government not prevent the ex-CJ of India and 3 other famous judges from coming to the country on 1st Feb by refusing VISAs? Intelligent people and developed nations look at actions more than the utterances. So, there is no point to invitng critics to the country now. Those people will find it difficult to accept our leaders' word by looking at their actions.
mike Monday, 04 February 2013 12:35 PM
Truth is hidden the actual is thuggery, cheating , extortion , no law and order in the country, bunch of culprits are ruling the Country --- Shame on you MR -- The UN or the big Powers should immediately intervene and put and end to the suffering of people in Sri Lanka

If this speech was delivered by a president of any other country, many of great commentators here not only appreciate it but willing lick his/her ass (butt) very happily.

.Foreign debts should be to develop the country. Not to spend and make just a group rich

you are correct mr president- but you must respect the rights of minorities in their own country-SRI LANKA.

Sir, UN will not interfere with our country as long as our country is ruled democratically. Sir, Do you reaaly mean to say our country is ruled by your family democractically. If you say "YES" then foreign countries are not allowed to interfere with us.
RKO Monday, 04 February 2013 04:56 PM
Awesome
president
mark my word he's gonna lead SL to destruction
Patnall Monday, 04 February 2013 04:38 PM
Before respecting UN Charter our rulers should respect our own laws. Then there won't be so called interference from outside!
Pink Panther Monday, 04 February 2013 04:21 PM
How can a country celebrate Independence when it is in debt up to the neck. I do not think any sensible citizen will celebrate his or her birthday if he or she is in debt up to their necks.
Pink Panther Monday, 04 February 2013 06:39 AM
There is also a "Universal Declaration of Human Right". Please have a read.
Fairose Monday, 04 February 2013 08:31 AM
But we can break the laws and violate constitution.

Jagath Leanage Monday, 04 February 2013 08:23 AM
Yes agreed. But isnt there anything mention with UN Charter about the independent of JUDICIARY?
firefox Monday, 04 February 2013 08:15 AM
What independence??
Even the judiciary does not have Independence!
People of Sri Lanka are not free.
suranjith Monday, 04 February 2013 07:28 AM
I am fed up these speeches always talk bad & wrong about others without correcting self wrong
DOTS Monday, 04 February 2013 07:20 AM
Today world is on Global debt!! tell me a nation which is not having a debt ? without debt you can not develop the country !! unless you ready to eat Mayoka and Bathala only.
Mason Monday, 04 February 2013 06:58 AM
As the leader of the country you set an example and follow the UN charter in all respects.
sgn Monday, 04 February 2013 06:50 AM
We need UN and other International countries when we need money only?
Fairose Monday, 04 February 2013 08:34 AM
Mr.President, What charter you followed to impeach the chief justice when the supreme court ordered the PSC findings are null and void?
Mason Monday, 04 February 2013 06:35 AM
There is much more said in the UN Charter than interference in another country's affairs. I

Can understand your anger, fustration etc,. I am also in the same boat.
Shaik Anwar Ahamath Monday, 04 February 2013 11:49 AM
The President quite rightly bemoans the fact that Sri Lankans have left the country and living abroad. I would add that most of the ones who left were the cream of our society. The educated, left for economic reasons stifled locally by the ethnic conflict. Most of the Tamils left because of their opposition to the LTTE. However his ministers have done very little to encourage these people to return. In fact, they have placed obstacles in their path. E.g. Due to employment reasons, these Sri Lankans had to obtain overseas citizenship, which could be resolved by the granting of Dual Nationality, which almost everyone would embrace but this has been stopped for the last two years and the new proposals, when the applications are reinstated are that the applicants should be interviewed by Mr. Gotabaya Rajapakse.

He talking about sovereign nation, who is happy in this sovereign nation accept his own family.
man Hatton Monday, 04 February 2013 11:44 AM
qwerty, don't be carried away, today even an ordinary man can give great speech. In his sovereign state, how many people are happy.?
praveen Monday, 04 February 2013 11:40 AM
can you repeat the same speech at the UN? I don't think you or any politicians in SL have the balls to do it ... Poor people going for a ride for centuries I wonder why they don't get fed up!
Budhist Monday, 04 February 2013 11:36 AM
Well done president.You are the only president with a back bone unlike the others. Long live sir. God bless you
Ami Monday, 04 February 2013 11:36 AM
Don't know whether his talking from the mouth ! When UN people try to visit, either their visas getting denied or intimidate ! Now go and tell all the gullible villagers something else !
Game Kolla Monday, 04 February 2013 10:59 AM
This country borrowed money from IMF....all developed rich countries funded IMF....therefore all those countries has a right to enquire how these money has been used and what purpose.

Southerner Monday, 04 February 2013 10:46 AM
Bitter irony is, a couple of months back educated people of all walks in this country quoting the country’s constitution urged executive and legislature to respect it. Such repeated requests were flatly denied and today HE the President quoting the UN charter urges the international community to respect it. What goes around comes around, it says . . .
GSK Monday, 04 February 2013 10:33 AM
respect who?? first we should leard to respect other, please dont misslead people by giving fancy talks!!
galapitamada Monday, 04 February 2013 10:04 AM
Well said sir and more importantly maintain our constitutional policies as well although automatically adherence to the constitutions of international bodies is also important.
