NPP Government Accused of ‘Witch Hunt’ as Opposition MP Summoned by CID

January 9, 2026

The Anura Kumara Dissanayake-led government, reportedly unsettled by the rapidly escalating anarchy and public dissent following its recent ascension to power, has launched a campaign to suppress the rising young voices within the opposition.

The decision to summon Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Member of Parliament Prasad Siriwardena to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is being condemned by the opposition as a clear act of political victimization and a targeted “Prasad witch hunt.”

Raising the issue in Parliament, MP Kavinda Jayawardena fiercely denounced the government’s repressive actions against MP Siriwardena, making a powerful statement that “shook the House.”

Mr. Jayawardena argued that the government is misusing the CID to cover up its severe failures, such as distributing books with links to obscene websites to Grade 6 students under the guise of educational reform. He asserted that young leaders who pose democratic questions cannot be intimidated by summoning them to the police and the CID, further stating that the entire opposition stands united like a wall in defense of leaders like Prasad Siriwardena.

Political commentators suggest that this incident confirms the Malima government lacks any viable program for national development. Unable to manage the economy, they resort to hunting down dissenting voices. They view the ongoing political persecution of Ranil Wickremesinghe and the summoning of Prasad Siriwardena to the CID as parts of the same overarching conspiracy.

‘Elephant-Telephone’ Youth Alliance Sends Chills Down NPP’s Spine! – Prasad and Pasindu Join Hands Against Failed, Nation-Wrecking Regime

In a move set to reshape the country’s political landscape, the youth leadership of Sri Lanka’s two main democratic forces is preparing to establish a unified front against the arbitrary rule of the NPP (National People’s Power) government, which they claim is imperiling the nation’s democracy and darkening the future of the younger generation.

A crucial discussion recently held between Prasad Siriwardhana, MP and Chairman of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Youth Wing, and Pasindu Gunaratne, Chairman of the United National Party (UNP) National Youth Front, has ignited a new beacon of hope in the political arena. The participation of Charitha Abeysinghe, SJB Horana Electorate Organizer, and Vinsad Pathiraja, a member of the UNP National Youth Front’s Executive Committee, underscores the fact that formerly separate sister forces have now united against a common enemy.

The ‘Beautiful Life’ Promised Before Power is Now Just a Dream!

The government, led by Anura Kumara Dissanayake, which came to power promising “A Prosperous Country – A Beautiful Life,” has plunged the nation into severe anarchy. The NPP, which pledged to slash electricity tariffs by 33%, is now reportedly attempting to increase the bill by 11.57%, leaving the public financially strained. Faced with this incompetent regime, which is focused on burdening the public with billions of rupees, even those battered by the Ditwa cyclone, instead of offering relief, the youth believe the only viable alternative is the unification of the experienced forces of the UNP and the SJB.

Youth Leaders Deliver a Deadly Blow to the ‘Cultural Revolution’, Wrecking the Younger Generation!

The NPP’s attempt to destroy the country’s morality by distributing school textbooks containing links to obscene websites for Grade 6 students has drawn sharp condemnation from these youth leaders. The understanding reached between Mr. Siriwardhana and Mr. Gunaratne is not merely a political meeting, but a deadly strike against the “immoral and incompetent” governance launched by the NPP regime. The ruling party is now gravely fearful of this Opposition youth alliance because their sole weapon, “youth attraction,” is rapidly slipping away.

“The youth leaders emphasize that by combining the economic vision of Ranil Wickremesinghe, who rescued the country from bankruptcy, with the people-centric program of Sajith Premadasa, the nation can be saved from the NPP’s dark rule,” the statement concluded.

The battle to send home the NPP government, which is eyeing the sale of the Kataragama Deity’s gold, maintaining secret ties with drug traffickers, and playing games with the people’s tax money, has now begun. This youth alliance plans to launch a series of massive protests nationwide in the coming days, which will undoubtedly mark the beginning of the end for the NPP regime.

Anura’s Regime Stumbles: Political Witch Hunt Against Ranil Backfires Amid Economic Crisis

Political analysts suggest that the Malimawa government, led by a seemingly bewildered Anura Kumara Dissanayake with no clear plan to revive the nation’s economy, is engaged in a shameless attempt to politically persecute former President Ranil Wickremesinghe to cover up its own failures. Specifically, the accusations leveled against Mr. Wickremesinghe regarding his visit to the UK are being viewed as nothing more than political vendetta, with his lawyers having already confirmed the diplomatic nature of the trip via an official invitation letter from the University of Wolverhampton.

The true motive behind this “Ranil hunt” is the abyss the Malimawa government is facing, unable to deliver on the promises made during the election. The government is struggling and clearly stressed by mounting international pressure concerning its secret ties with Venezuela’s alleged drug terrorist, Maduro, the distribution of books containing links to obscene websites to Grade 6 students, and a failed promise to reduce the electricity tariff by 33%, which has now turned into a planned increase of 11.57%. It is evident that the government is promoting a narrative of “imprisoning Ranil” across social media to divert public attention from these serious issues.

However, the government’s repressive approach is proving to be a political boomerang. The persecution targeting Ranil Wickremesinghe has begun to unite previously fragmented opposition groups. Notably, the Samagi Jana Balawegaya, led by Sajith Premadasa, is now standing in support of Mr. Wickremesinghe, generating massive public opinion against the government’s political revenge tactics. The move to target Mr. Wickremesinghe, who rescued the country from bankruptcy, while taking no action against the Rajapaksas, indicates that Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s administration is “crossing the Rubicon,” heading toward irreversible political self-destruction.

It is predicted that this unsuccessful “witch hunt,” which is being carried out to appease hardliners within the party while simultaneously maintaining the neo-liberal economic policies introduced by Mr. Wickremesinghe, will ultimately pave the way for the Malimawa government’s downfall.

Harin Fernando Spearheads Massive Educational Initiative in Uva Province; 500,000 Books to be Distributed

In a major relief effort for parents and children struggling with educational challenges and the current economic pressure, a massive educational service initiative is being implemented, centered in the Badulla District under the leadership of United National Party Deputy Secretary and former Minister Harin Fernando. Under the first phase of this grand project, the distribution of “Five Hundred Thousand Books,” exercise books, and school supplies was handed over to schoolchildren in the Haputale and Koslanda areas yesterday with great ceremony.

Political analysts point out that this move is a timely step, as leaders like Harin Fernando are offering genuine literacy endowments for the future of children, at a time when books containing links to obscene websites are reaching the hands of youngsters.

The program reaffirms the United National Party’s consistent prioritization of education and human resource development. Guided by former President Ranil Wickremesinghe, these social welfare projects, which aim to improve the lives of children while strengthening the country’s economy, have already benefited hundreds of thousands of children across the island. While the Malima government is burdening the public with various acts and taxes, Harin Fernando and his team are recognizing the pulse of the people and providing such relief.

This initiative is not merely limited to distributing books; it has succeeded in instilling new hope for education among children in estate and village communities living in challenging areas, such as Haputale. The people gratefully recalled the service Harin Fernando previously rendered as a minister regarding the country’s educational reforms and digitalization efforts.

Grace Island Officially Debuts in Sri Lanka: A New Paradigm of Compassionate, Community-Led Development

Amidst a landscape often dominated by traditional top-down aid models, Grace Island, a people-centric development initiative, was officially launched in Colombo on December 13, 2025. Inspired by the decade-long success of the Kolkata Society for Cultural Heritage (KSCH) in India, the organization enters the Sri Lankan development sector with a distinct philosophy: “Grace” as empathy in motion. Operating with functional autonomy, Grace Island aims to bridge the gap between abstract compassion and measurable, dignified impact through local leadership and ethical stewardship.

Proving Impact Before Inauguration: The Cyclone Ditwah Response

While many organizations wait for formal ceremonies to begin operations, Grace Island demonstrated its “people-first” commitment weeks before its official launch. In the immediate wake of Cyclone Ditwah, which devastated Sri Lanka on November 27–28, 2024, the organization bypassed ceremonial formalities to mobilize rapid relief. Under the leadership of Devduni Lanza, and supported by a robust network of youth volunteers, Grace Island successfully reached nearly 800 families affected by the catastrophic flooding and displacement. This early intervention set the tone for the launch, proving that the organization’s core values of accountability and urgency are already embedded in its DNA.

Strategic Leadership and Cross-Border Collaboration

The launch event drew a distinguished gathering of administrators, professionals, and community leaders, highlighting the organization’s focus on regional solidarity. Sourav Mukherjee, Founder of KSCH and Executive Director of Grace Island, emphasized that this is not merely a geographic expansion but a “deepening of shared values built on trust.”

The leadership team reflects a diverse blend of financial expertise and public advocacy:

Mark Perera (Founder & Executive Finance Director): Stated that ethical stewardship and transparency are central to every intervention to ensure sustainable social value.
Devduni Lanza (Founder & Executive Director): Envisioned the platform as a way to create solutions that endure by listening to and partnering with local communities.
Nayanathara Hettiarachchi (Founder & Executive Director – Public Communication): Aims to elevate community voices and inspire collective participation through honest communication.

A Vision for Systemic Change

Moving beyond emergency relief, Grace Island has outlined a comprehensive long-term roadmap designed to tackle systemic issues within Sri Lanka. Key focus areas include:

Environmental Restoration: Implementing large-scale mangrove restoration and conservation projects.
Economic Empowerment: Enhancing rural livelihoods and promoting women’s empowerment through inclusive financial models.
Education & Innovation: Building community resilience through education-driven development and fostering youth-led leadership.

By integrating the proven methodologies of KSCH—recognized for its work in women’s empowerment and cultural heritage preservation in India—with a deep understanding of local Sri Lankan realities, Grace Island seeks to foster a more resilient and equitable future. The organization has extended an open invitation to institutions and individuals committed to ethical change to join its mission of turning compassion into purposeful, lasting action.

Ruling JVP Regime Under Scrutiny Over ‘Narco-Terrorism’ Links with Maduro’s Venezuela

A grave complaint has been lodged with US President Donald Trump regarding what is described as “extremely dangerous and secret relations” between Sri Lanka’s current Malima government and the regime of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who is indicted by an American court on charges of narco-terrorism.

The confidential report, submitted by “Concerned Citizens of Sri Lanka and the Global Sri Lankan Diaspora,” alleges that the “fraternal ties” between the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP)—the key power within the Malima coalition—and the Venezuelan “Mafia State” pose a serious threat to the security of the Indian Ocean and US interests.

Did Maduro’s Money Fund Anura’s Presidency?

The report’s most serious claim is the information received that the Venezuelan Communist Party (PCV) heavily funded the Malima election campaign during the 2024 Presidential Election. This allegation—that drug money was used to shape the country’s politics—completely rips off the mask of Malima’s “clean politics” facade.

The petition urges the Trump administration to immediately investigate secret discussions held in Caracas between JVP UK Secretary Darshana Hettiarchchi, Dr. Janitha Gamanayake (daughter of former secretary Upathissa Gamanayake), and close associates of Maduro.

Venezuelan ‘Dust’ Settles in Sri Lanka?

The Malima regime’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement today (05), issued after the US Special Forces apprehended Nicolás Maduro and brought him to New York, is seen as laughable. The Malima government, acting as Maduro’s apparent saviors, is attempting to cover up his crimes by invoking “the sovereignty of states.”

Political analysts suggest that the reason for Malima’s intense interest in protecting a leader of an international drug network is the fear that their secret financial and political dealings will be exposed.

Sri Lanka Risks Becoming a ‘Narco-State’

Sri Lanka’s location on critical sea lanes in the Indian Ocean makes its potential entanglement with Maduro’s narco-terrorist network a terrifying prospect for global maritime security. The petitioners have urged the Trump administration to monitor financial transfers between Colombo and Caracas, which violate US sanctions, and to suspend security and economic partnerships with Sri Lanka based on these alleged drug ties.

TRUMP ORDERS SUDDEN RECALL OF CONTROVERSIAL US ENVOY JULIE CHUNG AMID “HAWAII PLOT” EXPOSED; JVP-LED GOVERNMENT FACES CRISIS

The controversial tenure of US Ambassador Julie Chung, widely seen as the “unseen hand” behind the rise of the Jathika Jana Balawegaya (NPP) in Sri Lanka, has been abruptly ended, with the Donald Trump administration ordering her immediate return to Washington. This sudden exit of Ambassador Chung—who advocated for “system change,” championed the protest movement, and even visited the JVP headquarters to pave the way for Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s success—has reportedly thrown the JJB-led government into a state of severe disquiet and difficulty.

“HAWAII” PLOT TO PROTECT FAILING JJB GOVERNMENT UNRAVELS

It has now been revealed that Julie Chung had launched a secret plan to extend her stay and protect the failing JJB administration in Sri Lanka. She was reportedly preparing to argue at the upcoming Indo-Pacific regional ambassadors’ conference in Hawaii that the island nation was at risk of a renewed economic crisis, and that her continued presence was vital for managing the situation. “State Secrets” reports that over the past few weeks, she held discreet talks with opposition leaders, NGO heads, and businessmen. Their collective aim was to keep Chung in Sri Lanka to mask the failures of the JJB government.

TRUMP’S DECISION SENDS JJB’S “ALLY” PACKING

However, all hopes of the JJB government were dashed when US President Donald Trump unexpectedly canceled the Hawaii summit and ordered 30 officials on extended service, including Julie Chung, to return to the US before January 16. Chung was a key figure under the Biden administration who directly intervened in Sri Lankan politics. The “love” she tried to demonstrate—even reportedly tattooing a map of Sri Lanka on her foot—is now clearly understood as a geopolitical strategy aimed at bringing forces like the JJB/NPP to power.

ARRIVAL OF ERIC MAYER: A MORTAL BLOW TO THE JJB?

The new ambassador replacing Julie Chung, Eric Mayer, is a prominent figure in Trump’s Republican party. He is an experienced official with previous engagement in the Central and South Asian regions. Political analysts suggest that he will view the Biden-friendly JJB administration with a highly critical eye. With the era of ambassadors like Julie Chung—who remained silent while the country was devastated by the ‘Ditta’ cyclone and educational standards plummeted to a level where explicit material was allegedly shown to 6th graders—now over, the JJB government is expected to face severe international pressure.

For the JJB administration, which relied on foreign influence and alleged plots to retain power, Julie Chung’s departure is the loss of their “protector.” Political commentators believe that under the new Trump representative, Eric Mayer, the “true nature” of the JJB government will be exposed to the world.

PM Harini Under Pressure to Resign Over Textbook Scandal; Internal Power Struggle Rips Through JVP-Led Government

Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya is facing intense pressure from within the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) to immediately resign over her “criminal responsibility” for including links to obscene websites in the Grade 6 English textbook module. The scandal, which critics say has “destroyed the morality of the nation’s children,” has caused outrage among party supporters and led to daily protests at the JVP’s Pelawatta headquarters, plunging the government into a severe crisis shortly after taking power.

Political sources confirm that President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has decided to remove Ms. Amarasuriya from the premiership to manage the escalating situation and has already communicated this decision to the Pelawatta faction. However, a fierce dispute has erupted between the President and the JVP’s hardline Pelawatta group over who should succeed her.

The hardliners are pushing for Bimal Ratnayake, considered the second-in-command of the government, to be appointed Prime Minister. The President, however, is wary, fearing that appointing a hardliner like Ratnayake could further embarrass the government on the international and diplomatic stage.

As a result, President Dissanayake’s preference is for the current Foreign Minister, Vijitha Herath, a figure perceived as more moderate, to take the top job. Should Herath be appointed, the President reportedly plans to move the “failed” Harini Amarasuriya to a ministry with less responsibility, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This development starkly highlights the ongoing internal power struggle and the “inexperience” that plagues the JVP-led government.

The current administration, which has already faced criticism for its handling of the Ditwa cyclone disaster, its alleged attempt to sell the Kataragama Devala’s gold, and now exposing Grade 6 students to obscenity, is now resorting to a game of “musical chairs” with a cabinet reshuffle in a desperate attempt at self-preservation. With education authorities reportedly fleeing in fear, the potential removal of the Prime Minister underscores the utter failure of the JVP’s promised “System Change.” This impending, critical cabinet reshuffle is guaranteed to spill the internal crisis of the JVP government further out onto the streets in the coming days.

‘Eyes on the Prize’: Kataragama God’s Gold? – Basnayake Nilame Prepares to Empty Temple Safes Under Guise of ‘Nation Building’

In a move unprecedented in history, the Basnayake Nilame (Chief Custodian) of the Ruhunu Maha Kataragama Devalaya (Temple) has decided to auction off 70% of the gold ornaments piously offered to the Kataragama God by devotees. The proceeds from this grand auction, which is being conducted under the label of the “Fund for the Reconstruction of Sri Lanka,” are reportedly slated for donation to the government. Critics point out that the JVP-led government’s inability to manage the nation’s economy post-election, resorting finally to using divine property to cover state expenses, is a serious precursor to a major religious and social crisis.

This decision has caused widespread unrest among devotees, fueled by the belief that repurposing or selling an offering made to the deity will invoke a “divine curse.” Basnayake Nilame Thilina Madhusanka stated that the decision excludes the 2,000-year-old historical gold artifacts, and the recently received gold items will be sold under the supervision of the National Gem and Jewellery Authority. However, despite the rhetoric of “transparency,” opponents accuse the government of misusing temple property to fill the state’s empty coffers—a deplorable attempt to mask the JVP’s economic failure.

It is particularly ironic that a government, which has failed to provide adequate relief to people affected by the recent ‘Ditta’ storm, is now setting its sights on temple safes. Following the moral outrage caused by the distribution of books with obscene website links to 6th-grade students in the education sector, the JVP administration has now introduced a culture of plundering the resources of religious sites, shattering the faith of devotees. This process, allegedly with the “approval” of the Commissioner General of Buddhist Affairs, raises fears that other major temples and shrines across the island may face a similar fate for their gold assets in the future.

The JVP, which promised to “eliminate corruption and rebuild the country” before coming to power, is now attempting to fill its stomach not only with the common man’s tax money but also with the God’s gold chain, a move that has drawn intense public disgust. Civil society organizations are urgently emphasizing that this auction must be halted immediately, and the divine property should be used for the development of the Devalaya itself, in accordance with the devotees’ wishes.

Political Patronage and Moral Calamity: PM Harini Amarasinghe Implicated in NIE Porn Link Scandal

A serious “moral crime” involving the distribution of obscene website links to Grade 6 students through a National Institute of Education (NIE) module has exposed deep-seated political cronyism connected to the Jathika Jana Balawegaya (NPP) leadership.

Amila Sandaruwan, Secretary of the Unified Teacher Services Union, revealed at a press conference in Colombo that the daughter of a key lecturer involved in creating the problematic module was an NPP candidate in the last local government election.

This explosive revelation fuels accusations that the education sector has become a ground zero for the NPP’s political power project, sacrificing the future generation in the process. Disturbingly, audit reports confirming the lecturer’s financial fraud and lack of educational qualifications were reportedly ignored. Despite these warnings, the “Anvil government” selected him for this sensitive editorial panel.

The most shocking aspect is that teacher unions had previously provided written warnings to Prime Minister Harini Amarasinghe regarding this individual’s deficiencies and fraudulent activities. According to Mr. Sandaruwan, the Prime Minister disregarded these warnings, effectively throwing them in the trash, to hand the responsibility to her political ally.

Experts Sidelined for Political Appointees

Mr. Sandaruwan pointed out that despite the existence of four education faculties in Sri Lanka’s university system, no qualified academics were consulted. Instead, the reforms were carried out solely by NPP-affiliated individuals, leading to the system’s current collapse. He contends this was no mere accident, but a political conspiracy to corrupt children’s minds and inject the Anvil ideology into the school system. There are now mounting calls for the immediate resignation of the Education Minister and Secretary, who are held responsible for the moral devastation caused by this despicable act.

Government Hides Behind Suppression and Lies

As details of this serious misconduct emerge, the government is accused of using the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to announce an investigation merely to evade true political accountability. The government’s move to force the resignation of the NIE Director-General is seen as an attempt to protect high-level political connections.

As the country struggles to recover from the devastation of Cyclone Ditwa—a crisis the government also failed to manage—citizens are now questioning if this corruption of children’s textbooks marks the “true change” promised by the Anvil administration.
