Major General Janaka was the mastermind of the counter attack at Welioya where LTTE terrorists lost approximately 500 carders in a single night. It was the worst debacle of LTTE terrorist organization prior to the current final operation against terrorism that currently undergo in Wanni jungle. He not only defended strategic Welioya area, but provide moral and at time political leadership to those innocent people in the absence of proper political leadership from then UNP government. It was valiant Janaka Perera – Sarath Fonseka combination that withhold the LTTE thrust in Jaffna peninsula in April 2000 when the political leadership in Colombo was under mental trauma due to LTTE propaganda machine in South of the country and Western world.
This very fact is more than enough for any ordinary citizen to identify who was behind the assassination of Major General Janaka Perera. That is why whole nation mourn in hearing the brutal killing of war hero and patriotic son of mother Lanka. It is more pathetic and heart breaking to see the behavior of UNP leader Ranil Wickramasingha and his political junta at Sirikotha. Ranil Wickramasingha is pointing his fingers at various parties ranging from government, police, defense sectary, TMVP and many more. Still he has not enough guts to look straight at media camera and say that it is LTTE that killed his political partner Janaka Perera.
Ranil has every right to request for independent inquiry and also question lack of security provided. But above all he should have guts to name the killer (LTTE) by name that very ordinary person in this country know. His mere inability to publically name LTTE as the killer due to his inner fear psychosis has lead to pointing fingers at every nook and corner. If he categorically named LTTE as the killer and then formed his argument for lack of security measures provided by the government, the common people of the country may have heard his point.
Firstly, LTTE strategically eliminate the UNP’s genuine leaders R. Premadasa, Lalith Athulathmudali, Ranjan Wijayarathna, Gamini Dissanayaka and many others from Sri Lankan political arena. It is due to this very fact that Ranil Wickramasingha had wind fall grabbing the UNP party leadership. The name of the game of terrorism is inflicting fear across the nation including political leaders and it is under weak leadership that terrorism gets dividends.
When Ranil Wickramasingha grab legislation power for little more than two years (still the executive power was not with UNP at that time), he showed his real white feather. It is under his rule that so called peace truce was signed legitimating Ealam boundaries. Our elite long range brigade was branded as traitors and all key intelligent figures in the military forces were exposed. When LTTE brutally killed Major Muthaliff during so called Ranil-Praba peace honey moon, Ranil Wickramasingha was behaving as dumb as ever.
It all turned round when people of this country took a brave decision to elect Mahinda Rajapaksa as president. Now Prabakaran is witnessing his due destiny at his Ealam grave yard. Ranil Wickramasingha continue his struggling to retain his party leadership (that political leadership vacuum that LTTE killing made) rather than eying for national leadership.
Ranil Wickramasingha always needed battle hardened people to collect some patriotic votes, but he never needed true leaders when he has power. Firstly, he dig the grave yard of Major-General Lucky Algama by inviting him to politics. But he never justify that undue killing when he grab power. Instead this feeble character opted for peace honeymoon thinking that he can pass his political term while giving political and military ransom (just like his political uncle JR) to terrorist leader. Now he has brought another general to grave yard by inviting into politics. With the tragic death, now Ranil Wickramasingha has done with the service of Major General Janaka Perera and he does not care to get justice for this killing by at least calling the real enemy by name.
It is pity that a great people like Major General Janaka Perera trapped in Ranil’s last minute survival drama risking his own life. Janaka Perera was finally targeted by LTTE to take long due military revenge. But it is unfortunate that this war hero’s own political leader is finding it hard to name LTTE terrorist leader as his killer. It is even more unfortunate that still there are handful of people who are willing to vote for this type of Muppet characters who can not give due respect to their own party members who try to uphold the slipping flag of the party.

I fully agree with this assessment, and only a couple of more additions: I personally believe that Ranil, who has no leadership qualities at all, has a secret agreement with the LTTE terrorists that they should not do any harm to him and that he will, in turn, offer the LTTE a favorable political offer that any other Southern political leaders will not do (may be an ealam or something very similar to that). This agreement is not some thing that is in writing for obvious reasons, but a verbal agreement backed by a foreign power, more likely Norway, and some leading Tamil expatriates who finance the LTTE activities (ie. Ganakoon), and have the full confidence in Velu. This agreement will, eventually, those who support this agreement internally, will be backed by other western powers with perhaps the offer of the Nobel price to Ranil in order to pacify any negative reaction to such a political deal from the Sinhalese community. This explain why Ranil never accuses the LTTE for any crime it commits in public. I also believe that Mangala, and Rauf Hakeem are fully aware of the existence of such an agreement, but will not disclose as it would mean they become willing targets of the LTTE, with perhaps even Ranil's consent. In fact, Mangala made such an allegation in 2004 when he was a strong supporter of Chandricka, but that was the only time he explicitly made a reference to such an agreement. This should be an eye opener for all patriots. Ranil will use you as a sacrificial lam to buttress his position within the party and to subdue all critics. That is what he achieved through Janaka Perera, the beloved war hero!
I don't agree with the facts discussed in this article.If you beleive all suicide bombers should be LTTE carders you are an idiot.
Karuna and Pilleyan were trained under the same ideology. So these people are now with the ruling party. These people have the technology that suicide bombers use. Now the point is who is going to be a suicide bomber. Answer is simple.They can use any mentally upset person to create a suicide bomber. We beleive that was the thing happened in Anuradhapura.
It is better to understand terrorists are terrorist. They can not be purified or rehabilitate.
Government officials know this and now they manipulate those karuna fraction to destroy opponents. Thats all
Harry said; Why Sri Lankans are in this mess, what is the fundamental problem in Sri Lanka, why the people of Sri Lanka didn't realize the issue...especially the majority...why and how these rebels or terrorist were created. Tamil people waited and waited without taking arms for a long time (since independence) then part of tamil people were forced to become rebels or terrorists. Who genuinely tried to solve the fundamental problem, at least Ranil was the first person to accept that tamils are discriminated and need solution for the country as a whole and that was the first step and time for "everybody" to think about this problem. If it is not solved in an amicable and reasonable way, the people of Sri Lanka has to face a very bad consequences, especially the majority, it is certainly not a threat but a reality.
Before the last presidential election, there has been informal and secret discussions between the LTTE and strong supporters of MR. LTTE wanted UNP to be defeated and they want MR. This is a long term strategy of LTTE to win Eelam. Time wil eventually reveal this information.
Ranil is not a leader and he has no leadership qualities. He could not even keep his party together. He should have left the UNP leadership and perhaps politics, many years ago.
I will not hold LTTE responsible for the killing of Janaka Perera because of many logical reasons. The main reason is even before the body parts were removed, the police who was not present, made a statement that it was an LTTE suicide attacker.. How did they come to that conclusion?
Majority right thinking people of this country, Sinhala & Tamils, believe that greed for power and corruption are the main reasons to be in politics... Nation and country.... not all that important.
I very much agree with the 4th comment. Do not come to stupid conclusions when you are discussing politics. Just one question : Last presidential elections,Why did LTTE wanted MR to win ???? Is it because Prabha had a sexual relationship with MR? Think of a realistic answer for for yourselves for the question. Previously Bandaranaike's did their level best to spread their dynasty and now it is Rajapakses'. I do not know why sri lankan people are so stupid.......I feel Ranil genuinely care for the Country but he lacks so many qualities which, JR, Premadasa, Lalith and Gamini had. What a pity ! LTTE was smart enough to get rid of them all except JR. He was much smarter than all the leaders and what more he had a peaceful death !
While I can understand the aspersions here. It clearly shows the LTTE is behind the killing of Gen.Perera. How can one say the TMVP is behind it, after all haven't they come into the democratic process now. And if One says terrorist will be terrorist think again....JVP will have to resign and take responsibility for their terror uprising
LTTE is going to be eliminated.. So great.. The war should be over now.
