SJB to take disciplinary action against SF?
Taking an offensive stance against Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka, Leader of the Opposition and Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) leader Sajith Premadasa said he will not hesitate to take displinary action against those who criticise decisions taken by him and his party.
This offensive remark by Premadasa came just a few days after MP Fonseka criticised the decision made by Premadasa to appoint former Army Commander, General (Retired) Daya Ratnayake as Senior Advisor to the SJB.
"No one should call me and tell me whom I should give party membership to. I will ignore such people who try to advice me. I will not hesitate to take bold decisions to take disciplinary action against those who criticize the party," Sajith Premadasa told a gathering in Galle over the weekend.
"It is the duty of SJB members to safeguard the party and see that it emerges victorious at future elections. Those who cannot carry out that duty should get out," he added.
"Some people try to draw a similarity between my father and me. However, I only accept my father's development model. Therefore, there are differences between me and my father," he also said.

What Immaturity?? Sajith is well matured very well balanced politician. He is the only decent politician available right now. Sarath Fonseka has blown up all chances given to him to become a better politician. So he should be sacked.

Sajith who is making stupid decision again, like giving Diana Gamage a seat. He should have known that she had dual citizenship and known she was unfit to be a MP. Once a fool, always a fool. Sajith is very immature but at least a better human than Jarapakshe

Very true. Certainly. SF needs to be cultivated within civil society to take on responsibilities for the betterment of the nation. There's a need for a shift in his attitude, and he must come to the realization that the rules governing the military may not be applicable or suitable for civilian society.

100% true. SF is very untrustworthy and may be suffering from a mental illness like PTSD. He should retire from politics. Sajith should show his backbone and sack this guy if not. SF has shown he has kinder garden qualities when comes to politics. military Genius and political idiot.

No right thinking person should approve what SF is doing to the party SF being the party chairman should safeguard the party and its leader SF has made so many unnecessary mistakes and remarks SF should resign and leave the SJB, SJB is strong enough to overcome any crisis people in the is with Sajith and also with AKD earlier it was MR.

Discipline should be there in any party though we don't see many. If SF has a problem, it should be resolved within the party. Forget he is a senior of the party. I thought he had matured as a politician. That looks distant right now. He only boasted that he won the war alone and no one else should take credit. He was very critical for other commanders of the Navy and Airforce being granted honors of the same rank as Feild Marshall. He always says that the navy Comander was a Comander without a fleet. He never appreciated what the air force and navy did in the war. True he led the army to victory but he never did it alone. Now politically he is showing his immature nature. Very sad he is going to ruin himself politically.

In this critical time just before an election all responsible officers of the SJB should act with utmost restraint. Sajith although he is the leader of the party and a highly educated and intelligent person should have consulted SF prior to taking the decision to admit another high profile and controversial person to a high position in the party. This does not been not admitting the former General but to sort out any differences as should be the case.

Sajith broke away from Ranil acquiring all the dirty habits Ranil possessed. In the Democratic party he cannot give membership as he pleases. When a person apply there must be a procedure to place the application before a Committee to take a decision. SF too faulted criticising Sajith without first making his displeasure known to the party

Premadasa shows here once again his weaknesses, his feeling of inferiority, his communication deficits, his resistance to advice and how his autocratic behavior will increasingly reduce his party chances!!! The public registers this presumptuous misconduct very carefully as a basic trait of his personality!!! When accepting new members, he should generally communicate with the relevant representatives of his party, and Fonseka is undoubtedly one of them, and listen to their opinions! When Ratnayake was accepted into a certain position within the party, it was actually a matter of course!!! But Premadasa lacks the intellectual sovereignty, personal strength, unifying power and the politically strategic thinking to make the SJB the party with no alternative for the voters!!! He should have given up primacy in the party long ago in favor of Fonseka!!! Fonseka would be a worthy presidential candidate with a good chance of winning!!!

wickrama wijayasiri Sunday, 04 February 2024 04:05 PM
Why does not Sajith read the writing on the wall? Now looking back, grudgingly, I have to admit that RW's reasons and claims why SP would not be a good leader for the UNP were not completely unfounded. 'Lady and Lord SP' have to concede that they are not the choice of the majority of voters, unless they are 'Secret' MR supporters attempting to maintain the status qua.

SF is right in saying that SJB or any useless political party should not take any MP or any person. Those changing parties should never be taken as all they want is power and when the government changes, they change the party. The party shpuld be refusing those jumping idiots. Take a stand like JVP.

SJB has already decided Sajith is there Presidential candidate since 2020 Sajith has worked very hard to come into this position today, and he has been with the people day in and day out, no leader is 100% perfect, Sajith is the most powerful and suitable SJB candidate for next presidential election is battle between SJB a d NPP. SF political gamble would fail.

Wijebahu Monday, 05 February 2024 11:18 AM
Very true. All Jvpiers, ex pohottus and Ranil supporters are commenting here. they just ignore what Sajith has done so far as a opposition leader and not as a ruler. Sajith can do immense changes. NPP is just a myth. they will not even come closer to Sajith.

Cannot understand why people keep bashing Sajith P. He is the ONLY politician who had helped people while in the opposition. Irrespective of the ultimate objectives, his party's donations to the education and health sectors had significantly helped patients and school children. He is showing what can be done in practice, while everyone else is only providing theories on how to assist the poor.

@Christo 255 - In any party there is only one Leader. If the party's decision is to offer membership to new comers no member can be a spoke in the wheel. The only reason I see that SF is not in agreement to the new comer admitted is because there maybe some personal reasons as both have been military men. A party cannot continue in its goal if every member starts to chip in with their likes and dislikes. Even in any organisation the composition may have people of different characteristics but the organisations Vision and Mission should be the focus without any individual bickering. As the saying goes " United we Stand Divided we Fall"
