Colombo, May 2 (Daily Mirror)-  Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka did not play any role in organizing the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) May Day rally and therefore, he did not deserve any prominence, its Vice Chairman Sujeewa Senasinghe said today.

“Fonseka has been critical of SJB and that was another reason for not giving him a speech at the May Day Rally,” Senasinghe told a briefing.

He said speeches were given to only those who helped in organizing the rally.

“I asked Fonseka what his issue was with the SJB and he informed me that he does not approve of the political practices of the party. Fonseka told me that he does not like SJBers visiting funerals and other functions just to woo votes. He does not deserve anything if he is critical of the party in such a manner,” Senasinghe added.

    You are all looters. SF is not in that family.

    Norman Tale Friday, 03 May 2024 01:20 AM

    Then in which family ?? He should either open his own family party or join one of them and not seek court orders..

    Ruwan Thursday, 02 May 2024 12:54 PM

    Presume Vice Chairman Sujeewa Senasinghe is vying for the post.

    Hugo Friday, 03 May 2024 10:44 AM

    Ha,ha,ha. The guy who wrote a book defending Perpetual Tresuries.

    Be Fair Thursday, 02 May 2024 12:59 PM

    SF has some principles, reading between the lines of what Sujja has stated

    Ram Thursday, 02 May 2024 01:21 PM

    Who is this Sujeeva to talk about our war winning commander. Sujeeva is not a patch on SF

    kondaya77 Friday, 03 May 2024 12:33 AM

    When the war was won ,Sarath was in China,.

    joshua Thursday, 02 May 2024 01:25 PM

    SF has done yeoman service to the country but NOT the other SJB morons. Others have only stinking mouth. SJB will be shown the door (same as SLPP rogues)

    podi hadaya Thursday, 02 May 2024 01:47 PM

    SF should know how to behave him self SF cannot expect party facilities while talking against the party

    Blessme Thursday, 02 May 2024 01:31 PM

    SF is much better than any of you as he stands by his principals .you wrote books saying that nothing illegal has taken place in the central bank bond scam, you took money from Arjun Alosiys and it came to light during the bond commission investigation. You have put up a house in Hantana contravening all the environmental regulations, using your political connections. Boy the d day is nearing and try mend your ways.

    Mizaru Thursday, 02 May 2024 01:43 PM

    Fire this OL educated fellow. He is no better than Gota. Time fire Talatha, Rajitha, Eran etc. These are Ranil backers.

    Christo255 Thursday, 02 May 2024 01:50 PM

    So what's sujeewas qualification? Writing a book justifying the bond scam. Sujeewa anything for a few bucks

    Rishan Thursday, 02 May 2024 02:12 PM

    Anyway SJB is a useless party ...

    Volker Metzger Thursday, 02 May 2024 02:13 PM

    This Senasinghe is obviously one of the many political idiots that the SJB has in its midst!!! Fonseka is being reprimanded and prevented from carrying out any activities because he repeatedly criticises the party and some of its members!!! One can't help but hold one's head in disbelief! A party should be happy when it is viewed critically and has controversially thinking members!!! Fonseka is the only personality in this party (and beyond!) who has excellent skills, character and independence and has the necessary presidential stature to change the still catastrophic situation in the country!!! What is a Premadasa or Mr Senasinghe compared to that!!!

    L Jaya Thursday, 02 May 2024 02:19 PM

    While accepting his contribution and dedication to expunge LTTE from our motherland his political acumen is well below and I see I cannot work under people who are younger to him. He believes as an insult to his fame being a Field Marshall. He believes country should be managed like an army where commands given down the hierarchy. He should retire from politics and have a graceful retired life

    Ruwan Silva Thursday, 02 May 2024 02:29 PM

    Sujeewa exposed in bonds scam Sajith has srrounded himself with that type of person sidelining the Field Marshall SJB must make the Field Marshall the candidate

    Citizen2023 Thursday, 02 May 2024 03:06 PM

    No doubt SF was instrumental along with other members of the forces for winning the war. However, since he has not his own party and joining SJB as an aliiance, he no business to question or criticise the party in public. If he is not happy with the policies of the party, he should resign and look for another God-father. With his stupidity actions he is trying to split SJB. He lost his Presidential election against Mahinda and has no clue about politics.Always uses his position as Field Marshal to impress the public. He should confine himself to his home and enjoy the last few years with his family. By taking this step he will be remembered as a war hero. He should be grateful to SJB for absorbing him to the party n making him a prominent member as otherwise he will be "Lost hero". So if he has to remain in the party, he has to follow its policies and take active part n support the SJB leader n other party members at this time of Prez and General elections.

    Bandara Thursday, 02 May 2024 03:27 PM

    SF is hero for us forever.

    Bandara Thursday, 02 May 2024 03:27 PM

    SF is hero for us forever.

    Bandara Thursday, 02 May 2024 03:27 PM

    SF is hero for us forever.

    Royb Thursday, 02 May 2024 03:39 PM

    Unless SP get of this guy Rajitha, Thalatha and Eran nor you win the Presidential and General election so please go home Sajith because you seems to be weak leader and you have a foul mouth only.

    Ram Thursday, 02 May 2024 04:01 PM

    Some lawyers who are not capable of making a mark in court take to other work. Some take to politics. If he one of them

    Charles Jansz. Thursday, 02 May 2024 04:16 PM

    SF seemingly does not understand collective responsibility or responsibility which comes with Leadership !

    Volker Metzger Thursday, 02 May 2024 04:31 PM

    It is exactly the opposite of what one commentator claims, the SJB can count itself lucky that a man like Fonseka has joined this party!!! Fonseka towers over everyone in the top committees of this party and he, like other thoughtful members, has the right to criticise them!!! The fact that Fonseka once lost an election to MR, who, being as cunning as he is, mobilised all means against Fonseka, does not speak against him!!! Fonseka was the key strategic mastermind in the fight against LTTE terror, and the victory is thanks to him and the militant SL Army alone!!! And to accuse this man of political ignorance speaks clearly against the commentator!!!

    Tom Wijesuriya Thursday, 02 May 2024 06:45 PM

    Mayday, mayday, mayday … SJB is heading for a crash landing when SF leaves the SJB. Tom

    Dinesh Withanage Thursday, 02 May 2024 07:22 PM

    What a credibility does the SJB deserve to confer a world hero whose valourous battle leadership endorsed by masses

    Insider Thursday, 02 May 2024 11:13 PM

    Fonseka loves pudding, Let him enjoy it at Ranil's place.

    Chux Friday, 03 May 2024 06:56 AM

    SF may be having so many weakness but who is Sujeewa to talk about him he is not even a patch of SF

    dana Friday, 03 May 2024 09:06 AM

    It’s very unfortunate SP sees this deceptive character as a reliable person,who saw and fought to rationalized CBSL bond scam is correct and even further he is foolish enough to write a book on it,certainly this thick head , must be in political dustbin

    Jeromme Wijeratne Friday, 03 May 2024 01:15 PM

    Ranil Wickramasinghe had already paid 20 Million and bought Sarath Fonseka. Sorry Sajith..

    Russel Harmmer Friday, 03 May 2024 01:17 PM

    SJB is not going to lose without Sarath Fonseka as they must throw away this betrayer who has deals with almost all the parties. He is greedy for money, it's simple.

    Damian Crooz Friday, 03 May 2024 01:19 PM

    During Aragalaya, SF earned lot of US$ through the young guys who received funds from UK, Canada and US. In order to grab the money, SF was behind the boys, now he is trying to lick RW.

    Sisil Sudesh Friday, 03 May 2024 01:45 PM

    Sajith wants only sycophants around him, not people with backbones or initiative. Sajith and the de facto leader, Jalani, fear talented people.

    Hade sharef Monday, 13 May 2024 09:02 PM

    SF is a man with principle not corrupt as other SJB ers.
