′ The so-called patriots who took votes by kissing the big earth have also put their hands on the oil tanks of the tri-flower ′′

JVP Central Committee member Dr. Nalinda Jayathissa says that the patriots who came to power by displaying the national flag in the top pocket of the shirt kissing the Mahapolawa.

He expressed these comments at the press conference held at the Colombo party headquarters.

And it's more like this there.

′′ Gotabhaya Rajapaksha comes to power saying that he will take back the property that sold the country's national resources. Mahinda Rajapaksha definitely said this at the election stage. Once upon a time they kissed the ground and showed. Was displaying the national flag in the shirt top pocket. At the end of a story, I started saying that I love my motherland three times. This is why people thought not only they would sell but they would take back what they sold. People were watching that the Hambantota port sold by the UNP after Gotabhaya Rajapaksha came to power, the terminal which was sold before 2015, including the south jetty of the Colombo harbor, will be taken over again to the government. Not only that, I was waiting for the government to own the Trincomalee oil tanks used by India without even filing a tax agreement. But more has been given to the company that bought the Hambantota harbor by 25 months. India's western jetty has been given to Adani. Several important and historical lands around the Colombo port have been put for sale through Selendiva. Looking to sell many more lands by the Urban Development Authority. He has put his hand to sell the land in Wellassa.

This is why Trincomalee oil tank sales are on stage. The British government had built 101 oil tanks. These oil tanks were built near Trincomalee port to supply oil to wars and trade ships. 02 oil tanks were destroyed by bombing during World War II. Tried to own this oil tank britanya when our country was given freedom in 1948 With the world political power overturn, in 1964, the Sri Lankan government made various efforts and paid two and a half lakhs of British Sterling Pound to the British Navy and acquired these 99 oil tanks. But the governments that were supposed to develop these oil tanks didn't have a plan. Jay to give these oil tanks to America in 1987 R. Even though Jayawardana tried, it couldn't be done due to Indian influences, the Indo-Lanka agreement also comes based on the impacts of these oil tanks.

Milinda Moragoda minister of the UNP government who came to power will bring a cabinet paper to lease the oil tank complex to an Indian company on 2002 May 21 Today this government is appointed as the Chief Commissioner of India. It is the former minister of Milinda Moragoda. As a result of that cabinet paper, an agreement of understanding will be resolved between the Petroleum Corporation and the Indian Oil Company on June 2002, 11 After that on February 2003, 07, the Ministry of Finance Secretary I. Ooo. C. Agreement is being cleared by the company's Managing Director and the team. According to that agreement, it is said that we should go to a tax agreement in 06 months. But now 18 years and no tax agreement has been resolved. But Indian company is using 14 oil tanks. By the way, these 99 oil tanks are given to the Sri Lankan government for each year. That's an immoral work. Because there is no tax agreement.

This Indian oil company was given a license to store and distribute oil imports for 20 years in 2004 That license will be abolished in two years. So if the license is not renewed, the Indian company will lose the benefit of running oil tanks. That's why the Sri Lankan government has got an opportunity to own this oil tank complex. When such a situation has arisen, the mineral oil minister Udaya Gammanpila has started a new game who said that they will take over the things sold. As Indian company uses oil tanks without tax agreement, Sri Lanka has a legal right to take these. Instead, on 2021 December 20, the Gammanpila minister will send a letter to the Chairman of the Petroleum Corporation to establish a company called Trincomalee Petroleum Terminal Limited based on the Trincomalee oil tank complex. This article deliberately inserts an article that the Udaya Gammanpila oil tank complex has the right to the Indian company. This is a serious problem. A perversion. The minister admits that the Indian company has a legal right. But the Indian company does not have such a legal right.

Now the minister is trying to build a new company. There is a plan to give 49 % of the shares of the company to the Indian Oil Company. That company takes over 99 oil tanks. This justifies the legalization of immorality while the Supreme Court case is being investigated that the Indian company does not have the right to use oil tanks. And today's news was reported that Udaya Gammanpila says oil tanks will be given to Indian oil company for another 50 years. The government is appointing this country to a place like this. Even though they say they will not sell, the government is selling all the resources that can be used for the development of the country to foreign companies.

Colombo port is a dollar fountain. When it is like that, they lose dollars by giving the operations that can be earned from the jetty in Colombo port to foreign companies. The same thing is going to be done to the oil tank complex. Our country can earn dollars by developing oil tanks. Petroleum corporation employees show unions using Trincomalee oil tanks to fuel surrounding provinces by Rs. per year for oil corporation. That between 900 and 1,000 million could be saved. This can reduce the loss of the oil corporation. That relief can be given to the people.

Since there is no storage facilities in the country, diesel can be stored only for 19 days. Petrol can be stored only for two weeks. Kerosene oil can be stored for 10 days only. Super diesel can be stored for 18 days only. So we need a formal storage facility. Employees at the Mineral Oil Corporation show that 20 oil tanks are needed to store oil in a month. Need 53 oil tanks to store for 02 months. 86 oil tanks can store essential oils for 03 months. Then the oil prices in the world market can be stored when they go down. Instead, the oil tank complex is now on sale. Udaya Gammanpilai is used today instead of Milinda Moragoda then. Gotabhaya and Mahinda Rajapaksha have been used instead of Ranil Wickramasinghe. What Ranil couldn't do properly is going to be done through Rajapaksha.

We tell the people of this country that both of these are doing to fill their pockets with the commission money they get by selling national resources. The people have a big role in protecting the national resources of this country. At a time when the government is upset with the people, the 2/3 of the parliament and the power of the cabinet has been rapidly disgraced to the process of selling national resources. Some things ministers don't even know. These oil tanks, port jetty, land and resources are necessary for a government that will build the country in the future. So all the people who love the motherland need to join together in the fight against the sale of oil tanks by the unions. We as a party give full support to the fight to protect the national resources of the country for the future."
