@@chamindadissanayake8414 Your are absolutely correct. The theme of NPP is to create an environment where all citizens are equal and not discriminated against on any basis and have equal rights and opportunities which has been well accepted by the Electorates and demonstrated in the outcome of the General Elections

5:11 The interviewer stated the JVP was anti Tamil, racist. That was a blunt lie. When did JVP was anti Tamil or Muslim? JVP always fought for national unity, even in 80s. They were against the LTTE but not Tamils. What a blunt lie.
Being anti-LTTE does not mean anti-Tamil. Even a sizeable proportion of the Tamil populace did not support LTTE. Anura did protest the North and East merger, and I personally feel he was right. A merger had the potential for Regionalism which goes against a unified country. One should first understand India's long-term design to control Sri Lanka, and what better way to initiate it than by divide and rule, an undesirable strategy we South Asians inherited from the British Raj! If you study the history of the JVP, they have all along fought against inequality, Inequity and upper class, elite rulers of this country. Anura is on the right track. All hands to the plough.
JVP has never been an anti Tamil party. Their past clearly showed that there weren't . Hence the strong vote base from the heart of the north of Sri Lanka.
Anura had never promised implementing the 13th amendment; in fact he openly mentioned in a Jafna rally that he didn’t come with that promise. Instead, he said we all are Sri Lankans living in this country.
@@NandaWimalajeewa Yes provincial council is duplicate the function of central and a white elephant. The president had reservation about provincial Council but for the moment he is not going to abolish it. because tamils think that as their right even though it
Beginning 1971 they took lives of many,in order to stop this revolution.But they could not prevent all those being reborn.We have proved,from North to South and East to West all those souls are come to life.Now we will deliver ,so that every Sri lankan will be proud of our country..No force either internal or external,will be able to prevent our progress. Jaya,Jaya,Jaya.Salute to All our brothers and sisters,who made the supreme sacrifice with their lives.Your acts were not in vain.
No interest in Leftism, Marxism, communism, capitalism and democracy. 70 years of democracy ended in "bankruptcy". The current government is sincere, honest and determined to get the country out of the mess and lead us into prosperity. God Bless Anura and his team. God Bless Sri lanka.
Finally Sri Lanka has got a good president and a good prime minister and a educated cabinet. This country is very corrupt hope this government can change it. We wish them al the BEST.
The JVP was never anti Tamil and never racist. This is what the governments in power wanted the rest of the people to believe . It was the UNP government that carried out the 1983 riots against the Tamils in the south .
@@jackiedesilva1140 Agree with your point. I or tamils don't think JVP is anti tamils. They have taken certain position in regards to NE merger, land, police powers etc. That is their policy and they are entitled to have them. It is the JR who branded them as who carried out July 83 riots. In fact, JR and UNP are responsible for it and all tamils know and will tell if asked. JR did so in order to escape from international criticism. JR destroyed the country with open economy, PR election system, executive presidency, 83 riots, Jaffna library etc etc. This is history anyway
The JVP/NPP filed a court case and separated the North and East, which was functioning as one district for Tamils after 13th Amanment was signed by India and JR govt of SriLanka 1988. JVP/NPP filed stopped the Sunami disaster reliefh fund aid which was going to Tamils in the north and east IBC filing a court case. JVP/NPP gathered 10,000 young men and made them join the Sinhala army to crush LTTE who were running a shadow government and protecting Tamil people in the North and East.
Dear Dr may be your generation wanted federal but our generation wants unity and needs recognition as srilankan, Equal rights for everyone. We will work for that. We will continue our fight to have one nationality. That's Sri Lankans who believe different religions and speak both shinhala and tamil languages.
This is Peoples of Thamil Muslims Singhalese interest .. We all r proud Sri Lankans.. We all r Children of Mother Land Sri Lanka.. Congratulations Anura Our Dear President n NPP..❤❤❤
Congratulations on the Wire for setting guidelines. Contratulations to all Sri Lankans for choosing the right leaders among you, this time around. Congratulations to the President, the Prime Minister and their teams. May you correct the government, public and country moral compass of this beautiful island🙏🕊️🧘♀️
Dr Saravsnamuthtu, you have not removed bi partician mentality, why not you talk of As Sri Lankan..keep saying Tamil parties ..so on. Karan, you are interviewing the wrong person. He did not talk of past government spreading nepotism, and hatred among races...
Good questions and nice answers. I am an ordinary citizen who voted NPP .In this discussion one big piece is missing. ,No one discussed the special qualities of President Anura. as a person..I think greater part of this success lies in that. Comparing to other presidents we had so far he is a learned, , very intelligent, uncurrupted,person with very high level of organizing power.. He carried a message of non-violence... and truthfullness. All the poeple attracted to him and started to love him with great respect in spite of ethnic differences.
Enough of talking 13 amendment. we tamils and sinhalise came together as srilankans to vote for our president and we succeeded. Let us live as lankanans .India doesn't want peace in srilanka nor a well wisher of tamils.we belive in him .
Gentlemen, We did not decide based on our desires, but rather, we were forced to act due to the actions of power-hungry politicians. However, that era has come to an end. Today, people, especially the younger generation, are more educated and have taken it upon themselves to educate their parents and families. This collective effort is what led to the NPP's overwhelming majority. Furthermore, the general public, regardless of race or religion, has begun to trust one another, as the NPP has taught them to view everyone with equality and fairness. As a Sri Lankan who has lived abroad for decades, I never thought I would consider returning to my homeland. But with these positive changes and renewed hope, I believe that one day, I might go back to my country.
Well said dear, Yes come back home Yes this is our golden opportunity rebuild our Motherland with AKD' s new Strong Government, Yes we will make Sri Lanka one of the rich & Beautiful country in the world, God bless Sri Lankans, Jayawewa❤❤❤
NPP never promised to activate 13th amendment fully, please study before talking. Northern people are not expecting that and they want good governance!
Yes, you are correct, the 13th amendment was the baby of India and it was not discussed with Tamils, we the Tamils don't want anything imposed on us by India, whatever the issues we have in our country we can resolve them amicably and we Tamils don't want any outside influence in our affairs, we Srilankans will move forward working together for the betterment of our country.
I’m highly appreciate for both of your valuable program presentations. Very impartial and good program. Again I would like to appreciate for Both of you about yours knowledgeable and experienced understanding about current political situation of Sri Lanka. Thanks 🙏
The 13th Amendment was something that India and Tamil political parties forced into SL gov. Now that people have defeated traditional politics, Tamil people can directly engage with the government and resolve the differences based on their needs, not what Tamil politicians want. This is by far the most important result in this election.
When did NPP commit itself to implement 13th Amendment fully giving Police and Land powers to North and East?? They are dead against that, aren't they??
There's no need to worry; they will not misuse their power. This mandate from the people is essential for implementing the necessary constitutional reforms and addressing current ethnic issues. Rest assured, the public is vigilant and will ensure that the government fulfills their aspirations.
For the first time in Sri Lanka, after independence, Sri Lankans have made the best choice in electing their president. AKD, is a man from the soil who throughly understands the suffering of the masses, is honest, academically qualified and is backed by highly qualified academics too.
This is a good example to all neighboring countries to enforce peoples power and not to divisive old politicians. Most countries ignore the poor and downtrodden due to poverty or cast.
My view, The newly elected Parliament has a lot to do. Implementing the 13th Amendment could be a significant step toward encouraging trust and inclusivity in Sri Lanka. By genuinely addressing the concerns of minorities, the government has the opportunity to strengthen racial harmony and unity. True progress comes from action, not just promises and lip service. If this government can take that bold step, it would indeed pave the way for a truly united Sri Lanka. Tamil and Sinhala people can mix if they choose to, but some may prefer not to, and that’s their choice. As Sri Lankans, we should respect individual preferences.
One thing need to correct that NPP never mentioned in anyware that they will implement 13 amendment. They said they will bring a constitute that would be accepted by the all the Sri Lankan nationalities.
Karan Tapar and Dr Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu’s illuminating interview was welcome. However, there was no discussion on the foreign policy which the new government would adopt. It would be prudent if the government would be consistent on its foreign policy, instead of wavering when vital international issues arise in which it would have to take a firm stand.
Parkiasothy Saravanamuttu is spot on. I will risk going even further by saying that history will one day be compelled to concede that AKD was the best of them all.😊
This is a dream. But how dare you or other make such statements not knowing that they would survive next three months. Truth is that they got elected by sowing LIES about rival politicians. If they would not be successful finding the UGANDA or other hidden funds, how would they survive to stay even 6 months ?
Historically JVP is not an anti tamil party. They were against the indian intervention and the terrorist organization LTTE. Even this time they promoted new young tamil leaders from north and east and also added few tamil leaders from other areas as well. They identified that most of the problems that sinhalese and tamils have are common problems.
Utterly amazing isn't it with all the challenges to democracy in the world, the Sri Lankan electorate has yet again shown the world political maturity. Sri Lanka gave the world the first woman Prime Minister. The previous woman Prime Minister and President came from privileged backgrounds. Utterly missed in the interview, the fact that the current President, Prime Minister and the leadership come from non-privileged backgrounds. It is quite interesting to observe that the election result has even surprised groups like The Centre for Policy Alternatives. So much for their political acumen. Enough of constitutional stuff for now, let's get the economy on a sustainable footing over this term of Parliament.
There is no bad past for Anura Kumara Disanayake. He is the most down to earth and efficient head of state. You must understand that people need genuine leaders. Bottom line is people need peace and prosperity..and essential needs.. not to fight among ethnic and religious groups. Weak politicians spread racial and religious disharmony and wants to be regional and world thugs.
I'm sure AKD will keep a good friendship with India, but definitely he will not activate the 13th amendment fully to satisfy India.
หลายเดือนก่อน
How can you be sure knowing that one of their lessions in JVP are anti-INDIA politics. So you can dream but the issue that JVPrs themselves would stand against AKD led politics within next 6 months.
It was never the ordinary Sinhalese, Tamils or Muslims who were suspicious of each other. It was the Sinhalese, Tamil and muslim clans who were involved in politics and hunting for power that created those brutal and inhuman conditions. Sadly, some Indian politicians used the Tamils, especially the youth, to fulfil their narrow and cheap political agenda. The NPP told the people the truth and what to do on this issue and finally the majority of Sri Lankans understood this bloody game.
Why Sri Lankan people want separate country they all voted for one nation please stop talking trash because in SriLanka all Sinhalese, Muslim and Tamil are living together as brothers and sisters.
I find it puzzling that international media often chooses to interview individuals like him, especially when they spread misinformation about the Sri Lankan government. It's important to ensure that accurate and balanced perspectives are presented.
Political power here remained within about 5 families since the indipendance. Accusations of corruption, killing, deprivation of rights of people, authorotarian governance, and no justice served for those accused, etc, have increased to unprecedented levels since 15 years or so. JVP/NPP (current government) patiently educated the masses of their rights, exposed atrocities of those in power and paved the way for people to pin hope on system change based on non corrupt governance and independence of law and order.
Executive President is largerly immune to law when in and out of power. Although the parliament is the supreme authority headed by the Prime Minister, the authority of the executive president usually manoeuvre parliament and other important institutions.
This election results due to a fake and massive falsehood campaign initiated by the JVP after a high jacking protest against RAJAPAKSHA S (aragalaya ) . unfortunately former president Mr Ranil wickramasingha didn't have time and the interest to do politics With the electrate.Also under his presidency massive publicity and all facilities were given to NPP. INCLUDING THE GOVERNMENT OWNED MEDIA , PRESS, ELECTRONIC,AND RADIO. ALSO ALL THE SOCIAL MEDIA, SOCIAL MEDIA WITH FULL OF FALLS HOOD . THEIR MAIN THEME WAS 76 YEARS CURSE. WITCH WAS NOT TRUE . WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ALL REAL ACHIEVEMENT S BY RESPECTIVE GOVERNMENTS HDI , EDUCATION, HEALTH, INCOME, ELECTRICITY, WATER, HOUSING LITERACY, AND INFRASTRUCTURE ARE MUCH MORE ADVANCED THAN ALL THE COUNTRIES IN OUR REGION . ALSO SOME OF DEVOLOPET COUNTRIES. ADD TO IT TOTAL UN ORGANIZED OPPESSITION HELP NPP TO ACHIEVE THE ULTIMATE RESULTS. Also Sri Lankan society is educated and impatient. They always need quick answers to economic problems. They didn't appreciate the fact that the former president after so much hard work rectified the most root causes for bankruptcy .purely due to lack of media campaign. Now things have happened . So all Lankans are waiting for quick results as AKD WITH NPP PROMISED. IF FAILING SOONER THAN LATER THIS IMPATIENT YOUNG GENERATION WILL BE ON THE STREETS WITH NOTHER ARAGALAYA. WITCH BEYOND CONTROL OF ANY FORCE. AS MR SARAVANANUTTHU SAID TIME ALLOCATED GOING TO BE 6 MONTHS. 😂 TIME WILL SHOW US. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU EDUCATE ALL CITIZENS BEFORE ANY COUNTRY BECOME A FULLY DEVELOPED. CITIZENS EXPECT ALL FACILITIES AND FREEDOMS WHAT MOST DEVELOP COUNTRY CITIZENS ARE ENJOYING. DUE TO INFLUENCE BY SOCIAL MEDIA PLUS ADVANCE TECHNOLOGY 😂😂😂
Dear Mr. Thapar, as a Sri Lankan listening to this discussion, I am so pleased with your approach and the right questions you asked Mr. Saravanamutthu. Keep it up Sir.
Couple of clarifications: 1. NPP was never against Tamil people. In the past JVP (main party in NPP alliance) was against the LTTE separatism. 2. NPP or JVP never committed to 13 amendment. They want all people in the country to be treated equal. They are against federalism the way India has.
01. No The general public of north is very systematic and tactful , 02. When nothern they visit and be with southern people and when they speak in another language they do not express their actual political agenda , they just say ok we just want prosperity. 03. But when they are in their own village of north they blame their politicians for not gaining the nationalistic rights and demands . And even the young GENZ even promote their nationalistic political ideology when they speak in their own language , but they do not tell the same when they speak other languages . 04. So the people in south think that " only politicians are talking these things not the people " like that , but there is a significant percentage of people who dream nationalistic goals among general public, but the thing is they just do not express it in another language. They express it when they speak in their language with their people. 05. Infact in this time also some proportion of people kilinochchi , mullaithivu are still voted to ITAK with political demands, those are the one with political rights expectations and demands . So these voters are sending ITAK to parliament in order to talk about their nationalistic ideology but these voters do not express it when they meet southern people . 06. You can understand this by listening to their you tube , news paper , facebook , TV media which are in their own language. So it is very clear that there are two type of people are there ; 01. Who say only economical prosperity is enough , 02. Other type of people who say winning political rights matter more than economical prosperity like that.
NPP has never promised to implement 13 amendments to the constitution fully, and neither northern people were expecting such a thing that the majority of people wanted economy development, free of corruption, equal rights prevalent country to live in as sri Lankans.

Dear Friend don’t call it JVP repeatedly. It is now NPP where JVP is only one constituent.
Why would there be any astonishment in citizens choosing to vote united for a non ethnically driven party?
Because since 1948, the Tamil and Muslim dominated regions have preferred ethnically oriented parties.😊

SriLankan People elected President Anura & NPP with a landslide victory for : UNITY- EQUALITY- PEACE & PROSPERITY!👍
what is the meaning of sinhala national unity: occupy Tamil land, demolish Tamil heritage, and place buddha statue on it.
We are a independent country and no country can dictate terms to us.
Utterly amazing isn't it with all the challenges to democracy in the world, the Sri Lankan electorate has yet again shown the world political maturity. Sri Lanka gave the world the first woman Prime Minister. The previous woman Prime Minister and President came from privileged backgrounds. Utterly missed in the interview, the fact that the current President, Prime Minister and the leadership come from non-privileged backgrounds. It is quite interesting to observe that the election result has even surprised groups like The Centre for Policy Alternatives. So much for their political acumen. Enough of constitutional stuff for now, let's get the economy on a sustainable footing over this term of Parliament.
There is no bad past for Anura Kumara Disanayake. He is the most down to earth and efficient head of state.
You must understand that people need genuine leaders. Bottom line is people need peace and prosperity..and essential needs.. not to fight among ethnic and religious groups.
Weak politicians spread racial and religious disharmony and wants to be regional and world thugs.
I'm sure AKD will keep a good friendship with India, but definitely he will not activate the 13th amendment fully to satisfy India.
How can you be sure knowing that one of their lessions in JVP are anti-INDIA politics. So you can dream but the issue that JVPrs themselves would stand against AKD led politics within next 6 months.
AKD ❤
This guy isn't Sri Lankan he loves division thats a straight up fact
AKD never promised he would implement the 13th amendment. Vote for me , I'll deliver no goods to the Tamils.
It was never the ordinary Sinhalese, Tamils or Muslims who were suspicious of each other. It was the Sinhalese, Tamil and muslim clans who were involved in politics and hunting for power that created those brutal and inhuman conditions. Sadly, some Indian politicians used the Tamils, especially the youth, to fulfil their narrow and cheap political agenda. The NPP told the people the truth and what to do on this issue and finally the majority of Sri Lankans understood this bloody game.
Why are these foreign journalists always get the same lot to describe the situation in SL. dont we have others who are not been funded by west.
Like who? And why did you watch this if it offends. But if you did watch it you know what you are uttering is completely falsehoods
❤AKD IS GOD LEADER,
There is a clear reason why they chose this man to make an interview over other hundreds of thousands of people who would have done this way better..
AKD has asked to get rid of the ' ism' s. The unity of the citizeney and the need for reform is unmistakeable
Why Sri Lankan people want separate country they all voted for one nation please stop talking trash because in SriLanka all Sinhalese, Muslim and Tamil are living together as brothers and sisters.
Anura will fulfill many of his promises during 2yrs time for sure because Anura is great leader for whole world.
I find it puzzling that international media often chooses to interview individuals like him, especially when they spread misinformation about the Sri Lankan government. It's important to ensure that accurate and balanced perspectives are presented.
Sarawanamuthu should know it’s NPP n not the JVP.
I wanted to know Srilankan's electoral system and with the kind of corruption that was highlighted, how did such an interesting outcome happened?
@ytubeguruji863 the NPP was so popular amongst the people they managed to achieve it.
Political power here remained within about 5 families since the indipendance. Accusations of corruption, killing, deprivation of rights of people, authorotarian governance, and no justice served for those accused, etc, have increased to unprecedented levels since 15 years or so.
JVP/NPP (current government) patiently educated the masses of their rights, exposed atrocities of those in power and paved the way for people to pin hope on system change based on non corrupt governance and independence of law and order.
Executive President is largerly immune to law when in and out of power. Although the parliament is the supreme authority headed by the Prime Minister, the authority of the executive president usually manoeuvre parliament and other important institutions.
This election results due to a fake and massive falsehood campaign initiated by the JVP after a high jacking protest against RAJAPAKSHA S (aragalaya ) .
unfortunately former president Mr Ranil wickramasingha didn't have time and the interest to do politics
With the electrate.Also under his presidency massive publicity and all facilities were given to NPP. INCLUDING THE GOVERNMENT OWNED MEDIA , PRESS, ELECTRONIC,AND RADIO. ALSO ALL THE SOCIAL MEDIA, SOCIAL MEDIA WITH FULL OF FALLS HOOD .
THEIR MAIN THEME WAS 76 YEARS CURSE. WITCH WAS NOT TRUE .
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ALL REAL ACHIEVEMENT S BY RESPECTIVE GOVERNMENTS HDI , EDUCATION, HEALTH, INCOME, ELECTRICITY, WATER, HOUSING LITERACY, AND INFRASTRUCTURE ARE MUCH MORE ADVANCED THAN ALL THE COUNTRIES IN OUR REGION . ALSO SOME OF DEVOLOPET COUNTRIES.
ADD TO IT TOTAL UN ORGANIZED OPPESSITION HELP NPP TO ACHIEVE THE ULTIMATE RESULTS.
Also Sri Lankan society is educated and impatient. They always need quick answers to economic problems. They didn't appreciate the fact that the former president after so much hard work rectified the most root causes for bankruptcy .purely due to lack of media campaign.
Now things have happened . So all Lankans are waiting for quick results as AKD WITH NPP PROMISED. IF FAILING SOONER THAN LATER THIS IMPATIENT
YOUNG GENERATION WILL BE ON THE STREETS WITH NOTHER ARAGALAYA. WITCH BEYOND CONTROL OF ANY FORCE.
AS MR SARAVANANUTTHU SAID
TIME ALLOCATED GOING TO BE 6 MONTHS. 😂
TIME WILL SHOW US.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU EDUCATE ALL CITIZENS BEFORE ANY COUNTRY BECOME A FULLY DEVELOPED. CITIZENS EXPECT ALL FACILITIES AND FREEDOMS WHAT MOST DEVELOP COUNTRY CITIZENS ARE ENJOYING. DUE TO INFLUENCE BY SOCIAL MEDIA PLUS ADVANCE TECHNOLOGY 😂😂😂
The interviewer should change the old-fashioned Tamilnadu extreme thinking. This is GEN Z. Learn from that generation please
Best president ever
Dear Mr. Thapar, as a Sri Lankan listening to this discussion, I am so pleased with your approach and the right questions you asked Mr. Saravanamutthu. Keep it up Sir.

Couple of clarifications:
1. NPP was never against Tamil people. In the past JVP (main party in NPP alliance) was against the LTTE separatism.
2. NPP or JVP never committed to 13 amendment. They want all people in the country to be treated equal. They are against federalism the way India has.
How different could the results be if the polls weren't called earlier?
Tte President has very high levels of EQ and Intelligence. He will therefore bring true transformation to Sri Lanka.
01. No The general public of north is very systematic and tactful ,
02. When nothern they visit and be with southern people and when they speak in another language they do not express their actual political agenda , they just say ok we just want prosperity.
03. But when they are in their own village of north they blame their politicians for not gaining the nationalistic rights and demands .
And even the young GENZ even promote their nationalistic political ideology when they speak in their own language , but they do not tell the same when they speak other languages .
04. So the people in south think that " only politicians are talking these things not the people " like that ,
but there is a significant percentage of people who dream nationalistic goals among general public, but the thing is they just do not express it in another language. They express it when they speak in their language with their people.
05. Infact in this time also some proportion of people kilinochchi , mullaithivu are still voted to ITAK with political demands, those are the one with political rights expectations and demands . So these voters are sending ITAK to parliament in order to talk about their nationalistic ideology but these voters do not express it when they meet southern people .
06. You can understand this by listening to their you tube , news paper , facebook , TV media which are in their own language.
So it is very clear that there are two type of people are there ;
01. Who say only economical prosperity is enough ,
02. Other type of people who say winning political rights matter more than economical prosperity like that.
please,we want unity,we want peacefull life,our president humple and strong man....
Mr. Karan Thapar please tell the Indian ordiance how Anura Dissanaike is going tackle curruption as mentioned in the story below.
The best option so far.
