Azwer suggests President for Nobel Prize
UPFA Parliamentarian A.H.M. Azwer told the Parliament that we would
suggest to the Western powers on behalf of the entire nation to
recommend the name of President Mahinda Rajapaksa for the coveted Nobel
Prize for Peace and Democracy, rather than resorting to their
iconoclastic ventures.
Moving an adjournment motion in Parliament on Friday, Azwer said
after 30 years of a prolonged war of terrorism, today the country is
marching towards the launch of a massive development drive which is
unprecedented in the history of our country.
Therefore, President Rajapaksa occupies a unique position among World
leaders today.
This fact was acknowledged when the person of the calibre of Ban
Ki-Moon, when he met our President, in our presence outside the UN
sessions at the UN Headquarters, suggesting that our President should
give leadership to South Asia, since he commands the mandate of his
people twice over.
Azwer said in the recent past, we have always observed that endeavors
by local or outside powers to harm the people's President of our country
have resulted in providential protection.
At a time when such antics are being staged in Geneva, we find
providence has helped unearth gems from the land of Mahinda Rajapaksa -
the Deep South. So, I am elated to call Sri Lanka a 'Gem of a
Country'."The international conspirators are now recreating a new drama.
If I put it in cricket parlance, they are trying to dislodge the
world's best-known batsman of peace from his crease!"
