Srilanka
Struggle Against Us Domination Continues
The contradictions among the
comprador ruling classes - are
sharpening and openly bursting
out in Sri Lanka as the imperialists
are intensifying their attempts to
further tighten their stranglehold
over Sri Lanka. W hile the Sri
Lankan Prime Minister Ranil
Wikremasinghe is busy in nego-
tiating several agreements with US,
the Sri Lankan President Sirisena
has openly termed these attempts
as “detrimental to the Country” and
openly announced that he will not
allow the signing of SOFA (Status
of Forces Agreement ) between Sri
Lanka and US as “it facilitates and
allows the free access to the US
troops and contractors to Sri
Lanka’s ports. It undermines the
independence and sovereignty
and betrays the nation.”
Sri Lanka is a strategically
located island in the Indian Ocean.
It occupies an important place in
the US strategy to dominate the
Asia – Pacific region and Indian
Ocean. Therefore, US is leaving no
stone unturned to consolidate and
strengthen its economic, political
and military hold in Sri Lanka. The
parties of ruling classes in Sri
Lanka had turned their back to the
best heritage and traditions of
nationalism represented by the
earlier generation of Sri Lanka’s
political
leadership.
AS
compradors, they chose to serve
one or other foreign power. The US
and other imperialist powers are
using this to their advantage and
the Indian ruling classes had
become a tool for this. True, one

classes today are openly opposing
the US moves to further strengthen
its hold on Sri Lanka. But this
opposition is equally dependant on
the economic, political and military
support of one or other foreign
power like China. Here the
question is: How the Sri Lankan
people stand on their legs, protect
their national interests and fight the
imperialist politics of domination.
W hat role they play in the just
struggle of entire people in the Asia,
Asia – Pacific region to prevent war
and safeguard the just rights and
the interests of the people from the
imperialist politics of domination. It
is the struggle of workers,
peasants, democratic and peace
loving people in Sri Lanka and the
region that determines the future.

These acquittals indicate that
the investigating agencies like NIA,
who are under control of the central
government, have been directed
and asked to dissolve the cases
against the accused and the real
culprits.
In this connection it is relevant
and note-worthy, to reach to such
a conclusion on the statement of
Rohini Selini, Special public
prosecutor in Malegaom blast case,
in 2015 that she was told by the
NIA to go soft in the case. Salini has
later been dropped as a prosecutor
in the case.
Thus the justice in defeated
and buried by the very rulers and
ruling party B.J.P in power and that
their claims of fighting against
terrorism and dispensation of
impartial justice etc are nothing but
false claims to hood-wink the
common people!
