Time to undo edifices of Rajapaksa cult
o
matter his excesses, ex-President Mahinda Rajapaksa will be remembered
as the political leader who defeated terrorism that blighted this
country for three decades. His predecessors failed in doing that for
many reasons: All of them were constrained by geo-political reasons,
but, the earlier leaders -- especially J.R. Jayewardene, whose efforts
to fight back terrorism were stifled by an insular India in the 80s --
were hamstrung by geo-political constraints more than their successors.
R. Premadasa was hindered by short-sighted domestic opposition that
forced him to expel the Indian Peace Keeping Force when it was waging a
decisive war against the Tamil Tigers.
