Ruwan Wijeyawardena recently when he met the army in Jaffna that the army camps would not be removed as being the expression of view of his uncle through nephew. Not only that, when I met his uncle Hon. Ranil Wickramasinghe after the elections this is what he told me \u2018We are going to assure Mahanayake Theros that we would not be removing any army camps in the North\u201d. After telling me this, he, who never smiles like his uncle J.R. Jayawardena, smiled a bit. What I understood from that was \u2018I am going to keep cool the minds of the Mahanayake Theros, in order to win the forthcoming General Elections\u2019 \u201c.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhen Hon. Ruwan Wijeyawardena expressed the same view before the army recently I got alarmed. We requested to release at least 5,000 acres of land out of the 6,500 acres occupied the Army. But the statement made by Hon. Ruwan Wijeyawardena makes us to belief that the army is not having adequate land space for their accommodation and that there is no attempt to remove even a single army personal who had been enjoying posy live-style in the 6,500 acres of land.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new Government\u2019s message to the Sinhala people was that they were not going to reduce the army and not going to remove their camps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wish to ask the Prime Minister, who is acclaimed as democrat, as to why he is submerged in an obsolete (Patham Pasali) old political tactics. Because of this reasons only I am bringing this motion hurriedly in spite of myself suffering as a result of unfit physical condition.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>S.
