  SRI LANKA CAN BOUNCE BACK QUICKLY,  IF POLITICIANS WOULD ALLOW – by N.S.Venkataraman

Sri Lanka Flag

Sri Lankan Prime Minister has correctly said that Sri Lanka’s current predicament is it’s own making. He also must have further said that if Sri Lanka’s recovery from the present economic mess were to be delayed, it would also be Sri Lanka’s own making.

Millions of  patriotic and responsible Sri Lankans living in Sri Lanka and other parts of the world must be following the developments in Sri Lanka on day today basis with great concern  and must be feeling highly frustrated when they read the news about continued protest on the roads , blocking traffic and shouting slogans . Particularly, the massive agitation by the students a few days back make one suspect whether these students have adequate understanding  about the gravity of the situation.

The problems faced by Sri Lanka today cannot be sorted out by demonstration and protest but only by chalking out careful and appropriate agricultural, economic and industrial revival plans.  The continued public agitation would certainly disturb the government officials and think tanks in the government , who need  the cooperation and support from all quarters and need peaceful political climate.

SRI LANKA CRICKET NEWS – SEPTEMBER 2025

Let not anyone be under the mistaken impression that the agitators on the streets and the politicians who criticize the government day in and day out  are the sole representative gathering of the silent majority  of the people. They are not.

While millions of Sri Lankans really feel   sad and humiliated  to see the present conditions in Sri Lanka and the disturbing news about Sri Lanka appearing in the global press , leading to loss of reputation for the motherland, they  certainly do not approve the methods of the agitators and the politicians.

The past Prime Minister of Sri Lanka and several ministers in earlier government have paid the price for their mis governance  and a new Prime Minister is in office now. He needs support , guidance  and suggestions and not brickbats , since such brickbats and abuses would only retard the recovery process of Sri Lanka. The government needs time and peaceful condition to work out the road map for recovery and implement the strategies. 

In the difficult conditions in Sri Lanka today, the Government may have to take some drastic measures that may have to by pass existing procedures and regulations to some extent.  The government may  have to bow down to some extent  to the conditions imposed by the international   financing institutions and other countries,  which are willing to provide much needed  help  to Sri Lanka at this critical time.

Every Sri Lankan would agree that in the past few weeks , the only country that has come forward to help Sri Lanka in material terms with understanding and goodwill is India.

What is shocking about Sri Lankan politics and  politicians is that some of them seem to be favourably inclined to one country or the other ,  whereas they should   be favourably inclined only towards Sri Lanka.

Suddenly,  a controversy has been created  about  a renewable energy project in Northern Mannar district , which has been given to Adani group based in India. Speaking before the Committee on public enterprises , the Chairman of Ceylon Electricity Board appear  to have remarked  without care, caution and a sense of responsibility that Indian government has pressured Sri Lanka to give the order to Adani group. Some politicians appear to have applauded such statement .

What should be seen is whether this renewable energy project would help Sri Lanka , particularly since the project  has  short gestation time for implementation.  In the present time of fuel crisis when Sri Lanka has no money to buy fuel from abroad, the renewable energy project is much needed and will reduce the demand for petroleum fuel. Why oppose this meaningful project ?

Atleast for the next twelve months, politicians and media  should allow the government to move on with it’s   recovery plans , instead of creating hurdles by making critical remarks , which would be a counter productive move.

Sri Lanka , the great country that it is , deserves better and let the politicians and the agitators go silent for the next  twelve months.
