You cannot run two PARALLEL centers in state power one by CJ and other by President.Is duty and responsible President of has to take stutely decison on the interest of State and People of Sri Lanka to REMOVED CJ FROM POST TO SAFEGUARED SOVERGINITY, TERROITAL INTERGRITY AND DEMOCRACY OF OUR NATION. Rule of Law will remain only ONE CENTER OF STATE POWER.
This is simple ligic of Rule of Law is unable relized by ex-CJ.

Hurrah, black coats that backed NGOs and their sponsors have lost, and we the people have won and Sri Lanka is at peace.
If those black coats who smashed coconuts and shouted ‘jayawewa’ to the ex-CJ SiraniB and ‘bangawewa’ to the President and paraded with accused to support her should keep away from courts at east for six months if they have any shame.
We know, crooks and buggers do not have shame.

You mean the people who were transported from Kelaniya with clubs, etc. to stop the protests of the Lawyers. If all the people of the country like these thugs then Sri Lanka will be considered in the world as country still living in the times of yakkas and nagas. Oh God save our good country from these thinkers of brutality.

Of course Leela will endorse thuggery and the despicable things Mervin Silva’s goons are doing out there. She also condones and applauds policemen meekly following the law of the jungle and cheers on those who allow goons to rule the roost.
She has a simple agenda; ensuring the survival of a racist anti-minority government.
Enjoy the polemics while it lasts Leela!

M Y Foote,
No, I have never been an anti minority and never will be. I am for unitary Sri Lanka where Sinhala, Tamil, Muslims and all others live together with equal rights anywhere and everywhere with no bantuland and such concepts. That’s all.

Villager, you are truly a confused person. Tamil and Sinhala are languages, muslim or islam is a religion. If you put Tamil, Sinhala and Muslim together then you are confused. Get your thoughts correct. If you have to add muslim into your equation, then it should be budhist, hindus, muslims and christians.

Villager says:
“where Sinhala, Tamil, Muslims and all others live together with equal rights anywhere and everywhere with no bantuland and such concepts.”
You are free to live anywhere and everywhere except in my ancestral land. The best country for you to practice your new found equal rights is India whence your ancestors came and grabbed my land.
My people are not demanding banduland. They are forced to live in one. We only want our Veddaland.

Leela earlier said to have studied to PhD level being sent to the UK.
But the manner she behaves here is not far from Mervin^s.
She or He is just enjoying as the mobs did it after CJ ^s impeachment was announced. This country is unbelievable. Even the educated seem to be supporting when it goes with undemocratic actions of the ruling thugs.
There is one another called – Sudu Akka keeps commenting the same about so called great leader^s magical powers.
What and how the govt will make it clear WITH the UN in coming March and commonwealth leaders in the coming weeks what I ask myself.

She should better have operated and leave us all in peace. TV is not a sickness but most of the times, as scientists interpret it – they are always not doing things right.
Else, I cant see any other ways to figure out why as over 65year old could come with this kind of statements. Shanty dwellers and the other thugs rallied round were organised by them easily, but the ones like Leela and the ilk to always bend their head for whatever being carried out the govt is unthinkable.

Citizen / January 13, 2013
Sirisena Yatawara, thanks a lot for letting us know that people like you still exist. The impeachment did not follow any rule of law. The courts had judged that this process was unconstitutional. The courts also recommended the parliament to pass new laws to make it a proper impeachment. The parliament neglecting such legal interpretations of the constitution went ahead with their arrogance. That is not RULE OF LAW my friend. That is rule of the likes of the Robert Mugabe and Idi Amin. Your “PARALLEL centers in state power” explains how state media has brainwashed you guys. The fact that the Executive, the Parliament, and the Judiciary should run independently and in parallel is an age old concept accepted to be in the best interest of the people. The likes of Robert Mugabe, Idi Amin, and Mahinda Rajapakse care more about their family and close friends than the people. This is a proven fact. Look at the growth of the per capita income level and the commensurate growth of the Gini Coefficient in Sri Lanka. You would see that the wealth now increasingly gathers around a niche group closely known to the president. To give you one corrupt example, how did Basil Rajapakse get more than 20% shares in Mico Car Company? Did he invest any money? No. Those shares were given as a bribe. Then Basil ordered all Government Institutes to buy Micro Cars. This is more or less the Suhartho Family approach that led to the collapse of Indonesia, because businesses cannot grow with such corrupt business models. This situation will worsen with the Divi Naguma act, which the Chief Justice held to be unconstitutional. Rajapakses are now immune from normal fiscal laws. They will bribe underworld thugs in the name of giving micro-loans, and nobody who does not offer party favors will get any loans. Already the Samurdhi officers are enslaved for political purposes. The Divi Naguma Department will be a true PARALLEL STATE CENTER that runs against the constitution, if you truly care to worry about. I am sure people like you will be OK with it. So, a parallel independent judiciary is needed to protect the people of Sri Lanka from this greedy and corrupt family and friends like you. Rajapakses started to hate the CJ after she made recommendations to revise the Divi Naguma bill to be a more PEOPLES’ friendly one. So, with the greed of people like you around Rajapakses, the normal people must get courage to peacefully overthrow the Government. They cannot expect any good coming out in the future.

The question is not who is supreme. What happened here was that a power drunk government sacked a judge just because she did not play ball with them. We all know this government, and also almost all the politicians in this country ( which includes that abomination Ranil) have no moral right to accuse another of misdoings. By this act we have shown the entire world what a barbaric and uncouth race we are.

This is a very bad message given to all citizens of this country by its president. If the Chief Justice is removed from the post despite the supreme court order not to proceed with the PSC can a ordinary citizen have any hope in future? Where can he go as a last resort? Are we to appeal to the parliament?
/
Upasiri / January 13, 2013
I think Sirisena and Dushy is wrong. When the SC has ordered that the PSC is unconstitutional and the proceedings are not meeting the Articles of the Constitution, if the CJ leaves her post because Mahinda as a Bull in a China shop wanted to smash the whole country then it may make a big problem. I listned to MP Sumathithran’s speech, during the debate and he provided all the ammunitions for the UNHRC to take Sri Lanka to what ever place they need to take the country. The joker MP’s provided the back ground music. Sri Lanka is not in isolation to do what Rajapaksa and his brothers want to do. Our Country is watched by others and in this hi-tech world any information will be around the world in few seconds. If in March UNHRC revive goes bad for Sri Lanka, CHOGAM will be full-out from Sri Lanka.
If President Rajapaksa wanted to impeach CJ, he should have done it in a proper and in a leagl manner as the answer is yes or no from the inquiry, he can still impeach her. Now he created a mess and he may satisfy the locals but the IC will be going to look at this in a differnet manner. The Sinhal saying “Hadisiyata Koraskateth Thatha Danna Bariya” is proved correct by Mahinda Rajapaksa.

In the mood of the regime and culture of the day this was inevitable in a regime that leaps down the cliff before looking. This now makes
good friend Kamlesh Sharma’s task more difficult re. holding CHOGM
in H’tota. But despite Jeffrey Archer’s belief there is honour among thieves. But in many Departmental Stores goods (in this case filthy lucre) once sold cannot be (will not be) returned.
As to the beheaded CJ, as many of us believe, any undue attack on the sacrosanct office of the CJ must be resisted by all men desiring to live under a free society. As to the individual concerned, far too many sins have been committed – dirty linen of which all now washed in
public. It would appear the greatest harm was done to 10,000 families
defrauded by Lalith K & friends – who went before the individual for
justice and relief. They ended up gobbled by the very saint to whom they prayed for succour. How valid is the argument of the learned counsel the Residencies were de-linked from the SC order not to dispose of any GKCC properties. Often evidence in our land can be manipulated and the chances are more when the sum is near astronomical.
But the good news is GKCCC depositors may get their 3rd instalment of Rs.200,000 soon – courtesy Basil, Thilanga and Big Boss himself.
And the plucky Rajapakses win one more battle. Is it real or pyrrhic is a question only the future and unfolding events will reveal. Meanwhile, let us watch Cricket, luverly Cricket – played by the greying, balding, ra-bada Champs of 1996 – some in The House, others outside, one Dancing in Bollywood as well while the rest swimming in
filthy lucre. As Dickens would say it is also the best of times for some.
As to The Royal Family – they get ready for the next battle in Geneva.

Mr.Villager. I say you are talking like a bloody Ganankaaraya eh?.You bloody buffoon you say now SL is at peace.You are a donkey who cannot understand that it has already gone to pieces..smithereens. Shirani is not the problem here.It is the judiciary. Your king is not the owner of the judiciary. The way the impeachment was handled was all wrong. Unethical..irregular unfair and unlawful. So, how dare you say that Shirani is ex CJ. No. She will be the CJ of this country as long as she wants to remain in that position unless the MARA gets rid of her in a way that doesnt contravene the constitution. All those Kewattayaas and Badajahariyaas round the president mislead him and put him into a pit. Uneducated brainless shit eaters like you are so jubilant about it! You will regret in no time!
/
Villager / January 13, 2013
Diogenes,
In spite of ex CJ was found guilty for failing to declare details of 20 bank accounts and for purchasing a property and then taking control of cases involving the company that sold the property to her and also for having a conflict of interest because she as the CJ had supervisory powers over judges in a bribery charge against her husband among twelve other thing she was accused of.
Now you ugath modayas want her to be ‘…the CJ of this country as long as she wants to remain in that position….’ I can’t imagine how much muck in your head and hate baggage you carry not to understand that Shirani B is deeply involved in a regime change through a judicial coup. We are happy she is gone with her national and international conspirators for obvious reasons. We know that they have tried it before with SF but abandoned him when he is of no use.
We patriots feel jubilant and at peace because all those conspirators and bustards that backed her failed to make this country an Egypt leave out a Syria.

M Y Foote / January 13, 2013
Your racist slip is showing Leela.
Both Egypt and Syria were/ are run by despicable despotic, life time dictators. I don’t see the parallel, between Sri Lanka and those two countries. There, the people are attempting to over throw “DICTATORS” and the whole world is aligned with the people. You don’t want an Arab style spring, so you say. You are hell bent on protecting a regime that has lost its legitimacy. By saying you don’t approve of an Arab style spring you imply that the only cause you stand for is that of “ensuring the longevity of this despotic regime”. You relate to this regime more than the people in the middle east who are fighting for their rights. Your hidden motive is thus to protect a racist regime.
You may say you are against all things violent, but readers can see through you.

People who do misdeeds always live in fear. Then they imagine coup de tats, foreign conspiracies, thunderbolt from the sky, assassination attempts. Remember Premadasa, the extent to which his acts took him to perform maha bali pooja. And how did he end up; do you need a description. Danger for those miscreants who live in fear canno be camouflaged by mobilzing mobs for the foreign cameras benefit. They dont show public support to the government, only they show clearly that these are government mobilized thugs orchestrated by the governments hooligan minsters, and local thugs like the villager employed to slave his master collecting or intimidating villagers to vote for him. At the end, the danger comes from his own shadows. Those who lurk inside his tail coats or the redda. What does the red loop round his neck predicts; is it a turban cloth that indian assassins used to throttle their enemies, or the noose round ones own neck. The time will tell. There is something called natural justice; they pretend to be good Buddhists, so they understand it clearly, I hope. Kamma has its own timing for fruition.

It is sad that President Rajapakse, demonstrated his sheer ignorance and greediness of absolute power over all organs of government, (impotent legislate already under him and he is determined to have the Judiciary as well). He simply refused all advises given in the interest of the country by all learned people and simply showed his egotism and lack of knowledge of all norms of the governance. Rajapakse knows the whole process adopted to dismiss the CJ was absolutely unlawful and his actions effectively made Sri Lanka a ‘failed state’ in the eyes of the international community. Yet, his sheer greed for power ruled over everything and displayed the extent of his blindness for absolute power. It is sad that he had failed to realise that all this time he was somewhat safe under the majority Sinhalese which is no more there. This man’s future is in real peril now as he had given a golden opportunity to the international community to round him up with his brother Gotabaya for war crimes and crimes against humanity against ethnic groups of Sri Lanka, which would be backed by all right thinking Sri Lankans belongs to all communities.

All we do is watch this act play out with some trepidation lest the fall out will affect the citizens of the Country more than the creators of the mess, (those who are running the Country today)

Government labels everybody who criticizes its undemocratic actions as LTTE sympathizers or members of NGOs or INGOs.The main reason as I understand is to fool people and be in power as long as possible. Removing CJ is only a small part of their programme. The longer one rules the more unpopular he or she becomes.Nobody can be in power for ever.It is not difficult to predict the fate of autocrats and their henchmen once they are out of power.Many know what happened from Hitler to Bednito Mussolini to Zomoza to Marcos to Idi Amin to Anwer Sadat to Charles Tailor to Saddam Hussain to Slobodan Milosovic to Hosni Mubarak and their henchmen.

And now, the installment of a new Chief Justice, who will wag his tail and obey the Rajapaksa’s every command, and do their bidding, illegal or not. This is what our nation has come down to. The dictatorship will continue, any other barrier will also be dealt with.
If only the people of Sri Lanka has access to bank records and relevant documents of all Rajapaksa’s and the rest of the 200 relatives that rule these shores. Shirani Bandaranayake’s records will be pale in comparison.

justice / January 13, 2013
The Divineguma Bill was deemed to be inconsistent with the constitution unless approved by all provincial councils,by a Panel of the Supreme court including the Chief Justice.
But only the CJ was targeted for scrutiny of her private finances by the PSC,and now removed by the President after impeachment by parliament.
But, why were the other members of the Panel not similarly examined by the PSC?

There are moment in history of world when PEOPLE all over the five continental seem to rise up, that something SYSTEM is wrong,TO DEMAND FOR CHANGE.That was NOT happened in Indepedence Judiciary -Sri lankan under the ex-CJ leadership.Capitalism run by central command OF CAPITAL of all forces under ONE CENTER theory OF STATE BY CERTRL TOOL OF Executive power of MODERAN STATE.If power blance are change by Judiciary,needed to address by State to correct imblance using tool of Parlimentry Sovergenity. Imbalnce of power not suited to even Parilmenrty democracy at all.What MR did in simple term is correct the IMBLANBCE-that is not dictatorship.
Ours nation are lack of ELITE politicians, there are FEW of them in Parliment.Members of Parlimentry 225 additional to PC are more.They are not poitical elites,obviously elecated handpick members by the Party,voted by people according rule of political game changes of Power and Positions.
Last couple of years certain verdict of Judiciary NEW ruling has concenration more power in hand of court of Law or Judges ;into certain level anomalous in between power of Judiciary and Parlimentry & President power; that power Judiciary exceed beyond President and Parlimentry power as well.That created many centers in STATE without knowing to the Politiacl class and political Parties. That is how concept of Independenc of Judiciary came into being in RULE Of LAW within legal system in island.Nobody identify such negative trend in apperance,due busy on fast track of route going behind eraning paper currancy to become RICH within short period Parilimenarty tenure.
On the other hand since end of 1960 -or begnging of 1970 proseasse of youth insurgencies had undermine Major Politiacl calss and parties until 2009 may.Nation run by dual form of Insurgensies one-in south by JVP and other North by LTTE,both cases has totally distrubed social and legal order incuding Judiciary.Result of such political and social upheavals was the products of legal disorder in Judiciary.This has not been address by regime in power.
My problem is not yet over after appointant of NEW CJ. Why new social CLASSES deamding and ASK FOR CHANGE THE OLD ORDER OF DEMOCRACY OF LESS-developed, WEAK AND BACKWARD capiatlism could trun into NEW ERA OF DEMOCRACTIC CAPITALISM.
Ours legal system has to change accrodingly.New appoinment of CJ will be impair and temporization of ongoing crisis Judiciary without immunological soluation.

DID NOT WE ALL KNOW THAT THIS WAS THE WAY IT WOULD END ? HAVENT THE
POWERS THAT FOUGHT THE CJ’S CASE PLANNED THE NEXT PHASE OF THIS DRAMA?
THE WAY I SEE IT THIS IS ONLY THE END OF THE FIRST CHAPTER OF THE BOOK, AND WE NOW AWAIT THE NEXT, WHERE THE PLOT THICKENS AND THE CRAFTING CREATES ENHANCED INTEREST. REMEMBER, PRABHA WON A COUPLE OF ROUNDS IN HIS FIGHT FOR EELAM AND THEN SUCCUMBED WITH HIS LIFE AND LOST EVERYTHING, AND CHANDRAPREMA WAS ABLE TO WRITE”GOTTAS WAR” HE! HE! HEEEEE! NOTHING IS PERMANENT. LIKE THE BUDDHA SAID LIFE ITSELF IS IMPERMANENT ! HE! HE! HEEEE!

THIS IS A “PHYRRIC VICTORY” FOR KING RAJAFUCKSE
THEN IT WILL BE THE “REQUIEM IN PACE” FOR THE “MAHINDA CHINTHANAYA”
THEN IT WILL BE A “SUBHA ANAGETHAYAK”
THERE HAS TO BE A CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE MOVEMENT
SAD TO SAY THE DESCENDANTS OF THE LEGENDARY SINHABAHU DO NOT HAVE SPINES
OUR KING WILL END THE WAY OTHER DESPOTS ENDED

Lanka Muslim, UK / January 13, 2013
In the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, democracy is practised through club carrying thugs, socialism is for those in the helm of power in the Govt. to have control of all the available financial resources and enjoy use them for their benefits and the power given by the people through the ballot is abused to deprive the country of justice and freedom. Even though Mugabe has somewhat changed now and Ghaddafi and Hosni Mubarak ended up in disgraced for abusing power our rulers are following the arrogance that Mugabe has given up and the iron fist attitude of Ghaddafi and Mubarak which provoked the people to rise against them.
