The staggering speech he has delivered is as follows: "Just see ... aren't the people disgusted. Therefore we have no doubt about this victory. But we have to achieve this victory in the proper manner. A new concept should be introduced to the parliament, the provincial council which are to be brought into force. To serve the purpose in the case of that concept I think the 7th executive is prepared. If your heart tell you that in the path we now are heading towards in that battle to create a new leader ... even if you dream in the night when other countries are becoming Muslim nations ... it started in a slow motion than this ... in a slower motion than this ...
It was three thousand 'humbayas' that came into this country in 1624. No women accompanied this three thousand 'humbayas'. We gave our Sinhala mothers too to these fellows. It is these Sinhala mothers who go about wearing black robes ... to display their 'marakkala' characteristics. Can't talk against this ... for these 'kehelmal' votes in politics of Sri Lanka. That's why we say ... we oppose you'll. We came to disrobe you'll. Until the last Sinhala person is left in this country ... you fellows won't be allowed to carry out Shariya. The message that we give Sinhala society is to create males so that we can battle it out with you'll ... so that Shariya can't be activated. We didn't come to take anything away. We came to tell this here. What we go from junction to junction and tell ... fathers and mothers asking for strength ... we came on behalf of Sinhala society ... nobody else is big to us. Therefore, we plead only to give us strength to speak about 'Sinhalakama' within the 10 years where a new world which is being built by Gotabhaya Rajapaksa.
If that strength is provided, we may be stopped within that five or six years. Even today we receive death threats from Kanjipani Imran and crowd of 'humbayas'. legal cases are filed even if we go on the streets. But we are not scared. We won't end our talking from today. That's what we say. Not that if we are chopped. If we are chopped and neither blue colour. Even if we are cut pieces by pieces ... the camp called Api Sinhala has come to your feet ... give us that strength".
