Majority must treat minorities like their own people! We must all live in one country as Brothers! I have lot of regard for Tamil & Muslim Culture!!

Fonseka differs from President's view on minorities

“THERE ARE MINORITIES AND THERE IS A MAJORITY”- GENERAL FONSEKA

Retired Chief of Defence Staff General Sarath Fonseka in an exclusive interview with Daily Mirror online speaks about his decision to retire, the treatment he is getting from the government and his moves to enter politics.
Q: General, with regard to the incident that took place last night there were reports that the Military Police had tried to take your security personnel and vehicles away from you. Can you tell us what really happened?

When I was in service I had a contingent of 600 men for my security and about 25 vehicles. The day I retired, I was informed that it had been reduced to three vehicles and 25 men. Even the wives of politicians [who lost their lives ] like Mrs.Kairigama have about 30 security personnel. But they thought that I didn’t even need that much security.

Then when I met the President on the day I was leaving I told him: “You have to increase my security–25 men are not enough,” adding that even people like Shavindra Silva, who was only a Colonel when I was commanding the war has Commandos for his security. The present Army number two has about 15 Commandos for his security and over 50 soldiers, but that I have been given only 25 men. I asked him for Commandos for my security. The President told me: “They are still in the Army and you are a civilian. So we can’t give you the Commandos and that much security.” So they thought that from the day I decided to remove my uniform their responsibility to look after my security was over. Most probably then that is the “Api Wenuwen Api” attitude. What can a “Ranaviruwa” expect in the future?

They continued to reduce my security but the President agreed to give me 50 men and 10 Commandos and I was expected to endorse it in writing. I sent it in writing quoting our conversation, and requesting that that security was provided as agreed. However, this was not my actual requirement or what I would be satisfied with. I wanted the security that I had [previously] because my security is most important to me. Even during the war the first suicide attack was on my life. Therefore everyone in the country knows that the threat to my life is real and great. I led the Army to win the war and obviously any terrorist will take revenge on me and not from those who sat in air-conditioned rooms in Colombo giving political speeches. However, they reduced my staff to 115 men which included about 14 motorcycle riders, 15 drivers plus administrative personnel. The number of vehicles allocated to me was also brought down to 15 from 25.

Four to five days ago I was informed by the President’s secretary that I could keep this staff till I left my house [official quarters]. They gave me only six days to vacate the house. But the Navy Commander who retired six months ago is still in the neighbouring house with 120 people guarding him and 15 vehicles. The secretary also told me to keep those I had with me till I left this house. I am trying my best to leave this house but people who promised me their houses on rent have been intimidated by government thugs who had also threatened to blast their houses and assassinate their families.

Now I’m finding it difficult to get a house but I am determined to leave this place the moment I get a one. I don’t want to live at the expense of the government or be a burden to the Army like others who have been hanging on. The previous Commander before me had lived in this house for three and a half months after his retirement, until he went to Brazil as our ambassador. The previous CDS lived in his house for three and a half months till he went to Israel as our ambassador. But they told me to vacate in six days. So you can see that there is no justice here.

What they are trying to do is reduce my security so that I become a target and they are waiting to see the day I get assassinated on the road. With three vehicles, even a child in this country will know, I can’t get enough security on the road. We are very vulnerable when we are travelling in traffic. If the President still needs 2000 people for security and if the Secretary of Defence needs 500 people for his security, how do they expect me to manage with 25 men and 3 vehicles? That is not enough even to guard my house.

Finally even this allocation of security personnel and vehicles was reduced and then I was left with 15 vehicles–administrative vehicles like trucks and buses for soldiers to move about. Last night they came at 12 o’clock to my house–a Lieutenant Colonel, six officers and 50 soldiers. They tried to enter the premises. This is against the Army norms and traditions and the law of the country. We don’t send people in such a manner not even to arrest a recruit who had deserted the Army.

They said they were following instructions of the Army Commanders and the Secretary of Defence. I was also told by some persons that they have taken these decisions at the Security Council meeting held yesterday (Wednesday). Now the Security Council is trying to cut my security to get me assassinated. When I was active in the Security Council we planned to assassinate Prabahkaran and destroy the LTTE. Now you see it had taken a different turn. Therefore under these circumstances I refused them entry and asked them to get out immediately because it was the middle of the night and only my wife and I were in the house.

This morning I released the vehicles because they keep on harassing my drivers and my people who are here. They are trying to block their salaries and reporting them as absent [from duty]. Due to this harassment I released most of the personnel allocated to me and I am managing with just the minimum numbers for my security. If anything happens to me the President has to take direct responsibility. It is not only the LTTE, but there are thugs who are manipulating things for the government like those who came and misbehaved at the temple when I was there. All these people are assassins and drug addicts and may be even tasked to do some harm to me. So if something happens to me the government must take responsibility and I expect the people to understand this–I know they are following all this. This is the way they put into practice their “Api Wenuwen Api” programme.

Q: General do you feel that you life has been put at risk directly by the Government and that you have literally been made a target?

If they are not aware of the security threats to VIP’s, then why is the President having 2000 people for security? The Army Commander in Vavuniya is not even commanding an offensive operation in the war. But why is he keeping 500 people to guard him? The last Security Council State Intelligence Services Head J B Galanayaka has said that when he attended the last Security Council meeting on the 11th of November, he had come to understood that an explosive laden van had come to Colombo to target a VIP. With all that if they reduce my security, obviously they are doing it intentionally to ensure that I get blasted on the road.

Q: There are various stories circulating that your were not in the country during the last stages of the war–that is from the 10th to the 17th of May. How do you respond to such rumours?

I had got an invitation from this Chinese company from which we buy APC’s mainly. We bought about 100 armored vehicles from them. I am not the one who made the deals: it was the Secretary of Defence and the LankaLogistics company of which he is the Chairman. They do the negotiations; they do the payments; and they buy the equipment. We only do the vehicle evaluation. And that is not done by me–Brigadiers and various people we do following the usual procedure. These companies had invited me to come and inspect some armored vehicles.The invitation was two years overdue. I didn’t go out of the country for two years after I took over command. I went out only for medical treatment to Singapore. Then in 2008 I visited the Indian Army Commander, the Pakistani Army Commander and the Bangladesh Army Commander–visits I should have done two years before.

Then I had to respond to this invitation and the Secretary of Defence approved it. The date was fixed about 5 months before and if I had cancelled the tickets at the last minute it would have been a loss for the Government. And it just wasn’t me about 5 others went with me. In any case I had won the war by that time. By the 10th of May there were only five or six kilometers to go. So I got the troops to move 150 kilometres and when I was doing that, I was not sitting in Vavuniya. I was running the war with maps, communication equipment and satellite phones. That is how I monitored the war. The orders are given; whether I am in Colombo or China or in USA–I knew those commands will be followed. I knew this war would be over in the next couple of days. This trip was planned, everything was arranged and the Secretary of Defence himself approved it and told me to go.

Because I had studied the plans for the next ten days, the plans were in operation without any interruption during the period I was out, but I retuned before the war was over. The war was finally over on the 19th May so at the crucial time I was here. They can’t say that because I went out, the Army will turn back without moving forward the next five kilometers.

But I knew that during that week, certain irregular things happened. For example I had kept a special battalion in reserve. But the Secretary of Defence forced this battalion to battle without even keeping me informed. Unnecessarily that battalion lost 25 soldiers. Eighty soldiers were injured. Other than that there was no damage or delay caused and the battle went as per planned. The only mishap during my absence was the Secretary of Defence forcing this battalion to go into the battle. Otherwise the war was won exactly on the day that I planned and I was there to control the final battle.

Q: One other report that came out is that when you were in the United States recently, you were never asked to appear for an interview with the State Department. In fact Sri Lanka’s ambassador at the UN, Dr. Palitha Kohona told the Daily Mirror Hot Seat that no request was made for such an interview. What is your response to this?

There have been enough letters being sent up and down from the Government to the ambassador there. I have copies of all these letters. So the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing! These two ambassadors, that is at the UN Palitha Kohona and the American ambassador live about one and a half hours away from each other. So I don’t understand how they can coordinate a thing like this and give the same opinion and the same version?

Q: To ask you a personal question, General. The Secretary of Defence, the President and the present Army Commander are people you worked very closely with. They were essentially your friends and people you trusted. Now you have retired, how do you feel when you see them not caring about your security and almost turning on you? Further, you might be a General but yet you are human. So can you tell us how you feel emotionally?

It may be the “Api Wenuwen Api” attitude. I have the courage and guts to face similar situations. I know they can’t push me down or demoralize me and finish me or ruin me. But I feel sorry about the others who will face the same consequences one day. They might not have the same courage or the position or the status to face a situation like that; that is my concern.

But the people don’t realize who our enemy is; if Prabakaran was there, he would have realized it.

Q: Everyone is talking about your entrance into politics. If you are to contest the Presidential election, can you tell us whether you have decided under which party you are going to contest?

Any future aspirations and ambitions I will comment on at a media conference I have on Sunday.

Q: General, it is widely believed that you will run for President. If you do run for President, what is the promise you will give the people?

I believe that if anybody who wants to hold high office in this country or do politics at a higher level, considering the present circumstances, should give priority for democracy, national security, including the people in the North and East, the plight of the people who were displaced, communal harmony, justice to all communities in the country and corruption. The country is corrupt and of course the responsibility lies in the hands of political heads. There is no justice; you can see that people can’t receive justice even if they go to the police or any other place. People are not satisfied with the treatment they are getting. Then politicizing the police has weakened the system to a certain extent.

There is [the subject of] media freedom. There are a lot of allegations regarding this. People in defence circles try to point the finger at me [as been responsible] for the difficulties and the problems the media had in the past. If that is the case, they should have taken action during the time I was under them. All this pointing fingers started on the day that I retired from the Army.

What I have to say is that I had a disciplined army under me and if I did anything to the media I have got the army to do it. I can’t go with a pistol or a dagger and go and attack anybody. So if they think that the army did this then they are insulting the Army that brought the grace and respect to the whole country by wining the war. That is ungrateful and against the “Api Wenuwen Api” policies. With regards to allegations of corruption what I can say is that if they can have investigations with regard to every deal done in the defence circles I will give my fullest support. All war materials are in a gazetted list. In that list, everything has been purchased with the approval of the Secretary of Defence and the LankaLogistics Company of which the Secretary of Defence is one. We don’t do purchasing, we only do the technical evaluation. They do the negotiation of price and everything else, so if there is any corruption the Secretary of Defence, the President, and the tender board must take responsibility.

Q: You said that we need to give space for democracy. But if you run for President what will your stance be with the minorities. How will you win their support?

Forget about running for Presidency. My personal approach is that minorities in this country have lived for many years with a Sinhala majority and you can see are a lot of similarities between them. I have a lot of regard for the Tamil culture especially and the Muslim culture, although I am a Sinhala Buddhist. The cultures have a lot of similarities so I think that they can live together as one nation. Some people try to say that there are no minorities. The reality is that there are minorities and there is a majority but we must all live in one country as brothers. This is a small country and I have said that the majority must treat the minorities like their own people.

Saying no minorities is only rhetoric - not facing reality. We have minorities & they have problems. SF is right - let us face the truth and that is where we start reconciliation by accepting facts. About time humbugs are shown up - like only touching faces of others kids but give everything to your kids, near & dear only..

Sarath is a soldier came through ranks to the position of General. If at all you talk of decipline in Srilankan society, then army premisses is one of such places that one can say, it is there without any doubt. I heard President lambasting in one of the post war speeches that there are no "Minorities" in Srilanka. This is good for people who do not know the meaning between minority and majority in english dictionary. Sarath is not looking for sympathy from the minority to win votes. There is clearly minority and majority when it comes to language and religion in this country. As a sinhalese I belong to the majority but as a Catholic I belong to minority. When it comes to positions and promotions in our society these cultural differences play a major role in silent forms. To accept that fact and without fear for Sarath to say that these exist in our society is one of those qualities you can expect from a truthful politician. I have my fullest support for Sarath Fonseka to come forward and contest this election for Presidency. But on one condition that he should contest as an Independent Canditate and not biased or inclined with UNP or JVP. Both party goers have blood on their hands. Both are responsible for death of many innocent civilians who have nothing to do with party politics. Narendra Fonseka - New Zealand

This is where you have made the first mistake General. There shouldn't be minorities in this country since every one enjoys equal rites. You have lot of things to learn about politics. Your kick off is not successful. In vain you time and reputation.

Now he has changed his view on minorities. Good thats a signal of a old pliticians we have seen for a long term. dont be suprised if he has not delever what promised as all the other politicians.

Posted By: lionheart

A good interview: direct answers without dilly dallying with issues, something to take note of. Its pleasing to read his response to the question of minorities. I agree with General Fonseka: one cannot say that there are no minorities, that is absurd. Sir, good luck with your campaign and may the blessings of the noble triple gem keep you safe. The southern coastal belt is with the General.

Dear Mr Fonseka, this is unbelievable. The General whom we respected most is playing politics at very low level. Your reference to "apivenuven api" is unacceptable. I personally got very involve with this campaign and it was one of the best programme that supported our heros morethan anything else. Please stop degrading people who supported it. You behave like politician with 40 years of bad attitude. We regret about overself thinking you as hero. No more.

According to MR there are only supporters and non supporters. For SF majority and miority exists. For Ranil all of us are kings.

Well done General. It's a superb expression.

Posted By: sarathkumara

NO.. NO..This is totally an unacceptable sentments expressed by Sarath Fonseka who is immatured in politics other than military activities.(however some of his military affairs are also questionable when analysing his part in eradicating LTTE)All people are to be treated as Sri Lankans as done in the countries who are running with pluralism in ethinic affairs. Once majority retains the authority to treat minority all problems will crop up. The correct and prudent policy of the present President is well correct as he intends to pave the way for Tamils for their own self reliance not giving the authority as Ranil gave to Prabakaran but giving them the authority with their own representatives+ infrastrucuture for development.

Posted By: Upul Karu

Clear differences could be observed between SF and MR's policies and attitude. A basic social structure built on 'race' in the country is not over looked like MR, who tried enforcing his views to public for mear political gains. Also instead of being too diplomatic politically, SF has chosen the path of removing 'politicizing' from institutions. SF is targeting what he was doing in the war, addressing the root cause of the problems, that made him a successful and heroic. Guess this could be a good move instead of pumping popular western visions like 'one nation'(can see in USA if i'm not wrong) to peoples head. SF's motto should be 'Be realistic and Be a winner'

Posted By: Niran

Sarath, during the war with LTTE, you have mentioned that Sri Lanka is a Buddhist country and it belongs only to the Sinhalese. Now that you are being treated badly by the GOSL, you are saying that there are minoroties and that they should be treated like brothers and sisterts by the majority. Why is is twist in your talk. Is it a trick like any other politician to capture minority votes, when you contest for Preseident. I don't think the minorities will buy this.

Posted By: Kugan

I was stunned to see who endorses SF to contest. If these are the people who is behind him god bless Sri Lanka. See this... The ongoing “Rajapaksa-Fonseka battle” is a blessing in disguise for the Tamil-speaking people and the Sinhalese despite its immediate appearances; because the upcoming debates are bound to change the confused Sinhala consciousness on an unprecedented scale. The JVP’s decision to back the General as a tactical move to get rid of the utterly corrupt Rajapaksa-regime is sensible indeed, to say the least. Fonseka is a political novice, therefore, he is malleable. He is thoroughly cornered by the reactionary establishment; and therefore, his pliability is increasing by the day. That’s a positive thing. The chances of him suddenly turning into a dictator after an electoral victory is very little indeed. If he does a social revolution will be on the cards; and it’ll be the duty of the JVP to lead the people towards real democracy & real “poverty eradication” along socialist principles. Comrade Bahu’s decision to contest, I believe, is wrong. It will confuse the Tamils and mislead the Sri Lanka’s Sri Lankan intelligentsia. And, this will only benefit the present regime to retain power. Instead, the Left should unite with the JVP to use this opportunity to educate all communities about democratic politics and socialist economics as the prelude to big changes later. In this context, the unity established among all “Tamil-speaking people” (Tamils, Muslims & Plantation Workers) is also a positive development whatever the limitations and contradictions it has at present. [Tamil votes are going to be crucial to the outcome of the impending elections and all Tamil & Muslim parties should present common demands - a justifiable political solution before the candidates – a solution that can be easily understood by the man on the street. It should, in my view, be essentially a Unitary Solution – a solution that is beneficial to all Tamil-speaking people living right across the island: There should be two Regional Assemblies – one for the Tamil-dominated region and one for the Sinhala-dominated region. A democratically-transformed Centre - equipped with the Highest-Level Institutions related to security and economic planning of the island as a whole – should be the centerpiece of the New Constitution. The regional Assemblies should be empowered to handle all lower-level institutions primarily related to regional cultural and economic development – in harmony with the central vision. [I see no reason why such a constitution cannot be designed for the benefit of all communities.] However, I must add that the democratic transformation of Sri Lanka should be inseparably intertwined with an economic vision. The JVP and the SL Left should use the election campaign to expose the Rajapaksa-regime’s total submission to the imperialist economic project. Above all, the deepening gulf within the ruling class should be fully utilized to equip the masses with a democratic/socialist vision, while doing the most practical thing to get rid of the existing regime in the impending presidential election. - Vasantha Raja

What ever you do you need to tell the truth. Yes we are living in a country where there is a minorities & majority One may try to call in different way to satisfy the minorities but the fact remains the same. You need to see things as they are and discribe the same as it is this is the right way of do things.

Read this and the letter of resignation together. I take credit for all that ended well. Others are responsible for all bad stuff. Not a very good stance from a budding ruler. I have lost my respect for him. Its sad, but true. He's not the hero I thought he was.

It seems he has changed his attidtude towards minorities after becoming the presidential candidate. How dirty for him to compalin about Brig.(Now Maj Gen) Shavindra Silva having commandos who was a battle hardened commander in Mannar front. SF is going to run a one man show. We dont want a president like Idi Amin in Sri Lanka

Generalls comment about that the Govt. is trying to get somebody to kill him on the road is a puerly political comment. If something happens to the General, definitely MR will lose any chance of winninig. Obviously they know that and the General is also aware of that simple fact. So, the General is fast becoming another politician and fast learnng how to gain votes.

You have faced lots of humilation, do you still want to continue to live in SriLanka? you can live peacefully in your motherland only if you are not threat to the government.Anyway your life is at risk since you are regognised as one of the witness for the War Crime. Most of them believe that the war crime occured at the latter part of the operation in which you were away, so at least be happy that it favours you.

When we read what Gen,Fonseka was saying about the minorities now, I doubt whether we have two Sarath Fonsekas. Few months ago he was showing a clear racial stand on minorities and was of the opinion that minorties in this country should not expect the same rights which the majority sinhalease enjoy just because they are minorities. Now, just because we want to get the votes of th same minorities, we is taking about caring minorities as brothers. See what dirty politics can do to a conscious of a person.

Excellent explanation as regard to minorities and majorities. Yes. There are minorities. It is totally absurd to say that there are no minorities. We have to accept and stand on ground reality. Well Done. Gen SF. Stand on the principle politics come what may. Please come up with proposal to have federal setup for Sri Lanka for minorities. I regret that SWRD was not able to do that but if you have guts, please reform constitution and give minorities right. Pls avoid bloody relative terms as "We and They" refering to Sinhalease and Tamils or miniorities. I hate it.

Gen Fonseka, I salute you for open talk. Lot of people try to please minorities in srilanka. However, majoarity must rule the country. You very validly said that this country is belongs to singhalaya and will be rulled by singhalaya. It is correct, but many people afraid to say so. Minorities are asking too much. It is the problem of srilanka. Don't worry general fonseka, 72% are singhalayas and they will support. You are our next president.

Posted By: Original Sinhalaya

It seems that the Sarath Fonseka wants to become the president of the country to get the revenge from the current government due to ill treatment. So according to this discussion, his intentions are very clear and the bottom line is he will not be the suitable candidate as a common for the presidential election race as public expected. He is politically immature and also comparing his rights with the other comrades in/out of the office which seems very grave and creating problems within the armed forces. Also it sounds like that he wants to become the president of the country to fulfill his rights and privileges.

Posted By: Kasthuri

Just a little reminder General: In your interview to two leading international media you said while you were still in uniform that 'Sri Lanka belonged to the majority community and minorities can stay but they have no say'! Do you remember? There was an uproar on this in the international press too.Any how according to the UNF/JVP contract you will be exec. president only for 180 days or 6 months!

Any of our priministers from the so called majority of - tamil, muslim, burgher or catholic for that matter" if we all majority whats wrong with these people not to become a primister or a president. Good example why Mr. Luxman Kadiragama was not elected as our priminister - General is correct

The war hero and the potential Presidental candidate has already started to lie.His conscience will say how he harassed the former Army Commander to vacate the official residence when SF took over as Commander.He did not allow 31/2months as stated above. What a big lie???Is he going to run the country by telling lies for his convenience???God help Sri lanka!SF is a vindictive and an arragant character who will resort to anything to achieve his ambitions.He did not care about own casualties in war and the entire Army is aware of it and how he harassed officers.The public do not know who the real SF is.

GSF. Look at Singapore. A country with Chinese, Malays, Indians etc.. The majority are Buddhist Chinese. The national anthem is malay. Singaporeans are proud of their country whatever community they belong to. This is what we should aspire to be...Sri Lsnkans first and followers of a religion thereafter. If one says there are No minorities he is hiding his head in the sand. We need a new face to lead Sri Lanka and GSF has better credentials than than any other.

Posted By: Faizal S

Really, really very good comments given by GSR. Its true that there is a minority coomunity and section of the majority who are reluctant to give the equal rights to the minority. But this majority community wanted to benefit equal rights when they go to the other countries.

According to MR there only 2 kinds of persons, patriots and traitors. Patriots are allowed to steal from public funds and allowed to amass wealth for their families, and occassionaly engage in violence provided they sing praises for MR. Traitors are the people who critise corruption and thuggery.

To: Southern soul.. you seem to lack basic intelligence! The generals inference to “Api Wenuven Api’’ is a metaphor for the Rajapaksha Family. Not the actual campaign.
