We all know the famous story of Madduma Bandara. While the true historical incident was pivoted around the cruelty of King Sri Wickrama Rajasingha, it is small Madduma Bandara that challenged this cruelty saying;
“Aiyandiya, biya nowanna. Marena hati mama penwami”
(Don’t be afraid brother, I will show you how to die (as a hero). )
It is names of this type of heroes that the history has written in gold.
While these historical reports applaud the heroic character of Madduma Bandara, those equally rebuff the character of his own elder brother Loku Bandara as feeble cry boy.
It is famous saying that ‘history repeats’, and therefore it is our duty to clearly identify parallel characters in modern society.
Dr. Jayalath Jayawardana is one of the mysterious characters in Sri Lankan political arena. He prefers to spend more time in Wanni jungle than in his electorate and most of his visits are secret and puzzling.
He occasionally come in front of media and states that he is concerned of killing of people due to war (He never call this as terrorism). His main endeavor in the last decade has been to distribute sirens among the Sinhala and Muslim people in so called border villages (in his own terminology) in North and Eastern provinces.
Throughout his political career, we have never seen him distributing even a club to defend the villagers from brutal attacks of tiger terrorists, nor we have ever heard him initiating the same approach (run away) in the LTTE control side.
The rational behind Dr. Jayalth’s campaign is crystal clear. It was LTTE who wanted to chase away Sinhala people who defend their home lands against the myth of Ealam and it is Jayalath Jaywardana who was co-coordinating this chase away from the south. He was very active facilitating the run away of Sinhala people when LTTE is brutally attacking the villagers.
It’s good to see that current government has completely turn this vicious agenda facilitated in south by Jayalath Jayawardana by forming new military unit named Nandimithra Balakaya that are no longer in mere defensive mood, but well capable of carrying out offensive against terrorists to defend their villages.
If modern Loku Bandara ever present in Bogambara ground, he would have cry and say;
“Malanuwani biya nowanna, duwana hati mama penwami.”
(Don’t be afraid younger brother, I will show you way to run away)
But luckily, we no longer need a trumpeter to run away, because at last we have found a true leadership to chase away the terrorists.
In the future, people of Sri Lanka will decide if they further need the service of these so called leaders only capable of facilitating fleeing, because they have finally realized that we need leaders only to march forward and defend our territory and not to run away in fear of terrorists.
