Bar association needs to mobilize all professionals, trade unions and workers in Sri Lanka and protest the impeachment of the CJ! Talk to FUTA, the trade Unions, and political opposition and take out the biggest protest in Sri Lanka – ARAB SPRING STYLE!

BASL has hidden agenda working behind political motiviated act.Nothing else Wijadasa Rajpakasa in MP for UNP in opposition party politics.He seek Ministry Of Justice next government to be come into being.
Lead by BASL- by Wijadeasa Rajapaakasa take for politcal trump card to gain political advantage for UNP.He should relized imperchment priority of eleminiating Corrupation form Hishest position of CJ and restort clean managemant of Courts of Law. Charges against of CJ and her husband are very serious.
This has nothing do with politics.To protected sovergnity of Law and fair justice of our Court of law is superme mission of Imperchment.

BASL needs to gain the respect of litigants and the common man before protesting measures against judiciary.
People are watching this tussle with amusement because they have no respect for the legal fraternity both in and out of parliament as both sides do not agree with each other.
People want quick justice without going broke trying to get it.
They couldnt care less about who are the judges,and how tey are appointed.

Whoever heads the BASL, as lawyers we have to oppose this bloody impeachment. What we need is an independent judiciary and rule of law. we don’t believe in personalities, institutions but only on law.

Lion… I not belongs to any party of politics,or doubling acting like Eddi Jayamana.Please listen to ordiniary citizen voice.
I think Colobmo Telegrphy is one of few web site , who endrosed blance view of Public voice and differnt view, of various school of thoguts of democracy in an Island.
Corrupation is main cancer of our society and is undermine our daliy life,it has penerted into whole body of our daily funcation system.
From Office Peon up to President level corrupation has been occupy and now it has been occupy by CJ’S position.How is sad?
Instead take on side of corruaption person, we should resoult opposes as Right thinking citizens any level of corrupation.
I want BASL to fight for the Right Casue.

Bravo! If the BASL has expressed “grave concern and urged fair play”, we should hail their unanimous collective decision. Now the people will look on the legal fraternity with a new respect. It is a happy augury that professionals, academics and intellectuals are gradually taking up positions in the forefront of the battle against injustice!

Bar association having read the impeachment motion could have analysed the legality of charges and chances to prosecute CJ. Moreover it could reveal in whose box have more skeletons. Safeguarding the little justice remain is a necessity.
