"This is the Land of Lord Buddha"

Just within 3 months after the presidential elections, the Parliamentary General election will be held on 8th April. The campaign was over by 5th night though the candidates are still runing here and there to collect votes.
Who cares the election rules in the country. From regional council member to the highest executive power holder, the president of the country is also breaking the rules. President him self says he is above the Sri Lankan Law. But, almost all the close ones to president exercise this power as police can not take any action against them at all.
Now, the main opponenet at the presidential election to the elected president is under arrest and no freedom to rn his campaign. No, freedom to run their campaigns by the opposition parties as a whole. IGP of police says he can not enforce the law in the country. Election commissioner says, there is no point of order to the police to enforce the law. How can we expect the rule of law in the country.
The defence secretary, one of the most powerful civil servant of the country runing the election campaign to support to ruling party candidates. At the same time the former army commander arrest claiming he had some political connections with the politicians and had telephone conversations with them. So, how can we see the free and fair elections in the country?
What is happening to this country is only god knows.
But, I have seen there are some stickers in the private buses saying.
"This is the land of Lord Buddha."
Then, I can not imagine what is the type of the land for Sathan?????
I am afraid to think of that.
