Gnanasara Thero is a monk who is creating waves in the political world. For what purpose did Maithri grant the Independent Presidential Freedom all of a sudden? In 2014, Maithri was unofficially supported to remove minority of votes from Mahinda Rajapaksa at the 2014 Presidential Election. Maithri's sole objective is to re-run for the Presidential Election, with the help of Gnanasara Thero by using the gallows to win Sinhalese Buddhist votes. By taking advantage of the Dharga Town incident that took place 06 months before the last Presidential Election and the recent incident which is the hunger strike carried out by Rathana Thero, Gnanasara Thero is hoping to break the Sinhalese Buddhist votes and remove 20% of those votes to win the UNP Presidential Candidate. This proved to be true for us in the January 8, 2015 election.
Why does Gnanasara Thero not support a Sinhalese mainstream party?
If Gnanasara Thero has such a concern about the Sinhalese race, why not support a Sinhalese candidate who is capable of winning when he who has the majority backing of the Sinhalese rather than supporting an independent candidate? For whose need is this being done?. We know that the minority of votes will not sway away from the UNP, but if the Sinhalese Buddhist are broken up wouldn't it be beneficial to the UNP itself?. If Kudapola Thero stood with Kappetipola and Gongalegoda Banda to chase the invaders away from our country, in the present why can't Gnanasara Thero stand with a Sinhalese candidate who is capable of winning? A few days before the Presidential Election as a support to the UNP, Azath Salley stated that a Muslim candidate will be put forward as a contestant for Presidential Election. So, if we put forward people like Nagalandala, Pallewaththala, Dhammika Perera will it be beneficial the Sinhalese? Or extremists? As a nation, we must think twice.
