Former Chief Justice Sarath N. Silva during an emotional speech today described President Mahinda Rajapaksa as ‘a harbinger of evil’ (Henahura) who has made a thundering blow against the law of Sri Lanka and added that this attack will surely boomerang.
Silva
Ex-CJ Silva addressing the gathering at a public rally held at the Muttiah Park today made these remarks as he stringently crticised the Supreme Court opinion given on the constitutionality to contest for a third term as per a request by President Rajapaksa, while he described the judgement as one ‘lacking in transparency’ and a ‘corrupt point of view’.
“It seems the Supreme Court judges have worked in great haste to deliver the verdict to the request made by President Rajapaksa in great secrecy to the CJ. The SC was literally allowed only a few hours to deliver this judgement as a result of the weekend and the poya holiday last week. However despite time restrictions, Nimal Siripala Silva delivered it before the parliament yesterday! Nowhere in this world has a Supreme Court decision been delivered before the parliament. Is this respect or disrespect for the country’s law?,” Silva questioned the public.
He went on to criticise the judges who gave the verdict as he stated that such individuals need not station themselves at Hulftsdorp but should instead remain in a small room within the premises of Temple Trees so they they can freely manufacture verdicts that suit the whims and fancies of the President.
He went on to state the judgement is also not a cause for surprise since as it was Peiris who as the then Attorney General helped draft the 18th amendment in order to remove the legal restrictions that prevented Mahinda Rajapaksa from contesting for a third term of Presidency.
“We are left with no other choice than to expect a sense of justice from the judiciary although we were aware of the outcome. But as the public we can do one thing – the power of the judiciary lies in the hands of the masses. So I urge the public to take a stand against these blatant injustices and right these wrongs at the upcoming Presidential elections,” he added while adding it is time to save the country from shawl-donned thieves.

The joint opposition must EDUCATE and listen to the pulse of the people.
They must EXPLAIN and EDUCATE the Sinhala masses on why abolishing the Executive Presidency is necessary in order to win votes: The executive Presidency has enabled massive corruption and social and economic inequality and injustice and impoverishment of the people to benefit a few – i.e. Mahinda Rajapaksa family and cronies. This must be told directly to the people.
Abolishing EP and constitutional amendments is too abstract for the moda Sinhala Masses. The LINKS between Rajapaksa family and cronies CORRUPTION, bad economic policies that impoverish majority of people should be clearly made to win Sinhala Modaya’s votes.

“Please tell us what was his contribution to the process of democratisation of this island. “
as i repeatedly stated before , SNS is the architect of the current mayhem , now tell us what do you want him to do now , just go on helping MR as nothing has happened or vanished in to thin air ? neither of the above choices wouldn’t do any good for SL , then what is the next most logical option ? SNS has had accepted his fault for letting MR go and he regrets about it , had he been just expressing his regrets now and do absolutely nothing about it , yes your criticism may be acceptable , is that the case now ? SNS has been spear heading against MR and actively participating by educating populace , at least for me he has done enough damage for MR’s 3 rd term candidacy when main opposition leader is hiding !
if we just go on criticizing every single person and action for the sake of criticizing , then we might as well have a good look at ourselves , are we just bunch of key board revolutionists ?

Democracy and elections can never oust our dictators who control the military machinery behind their fist of fury. A peoples revolution that will deliver the bullet is the only answer now. This is why great countries like the USA have constitutionally mandated their citizens the right to bear arms because in people vest the supreme power. They can form a militias and even a private army in order to overthrow autocrats when the checks and balances means to an end. The present anarchy is a damn good lessons for our “modaya’s” who do not seem to learn lessons from our forefathers or the constitutional framers of great nations. Our foolish people are a backward race who deserve these dictators and Neanderthals.

Chandra / November 12, 2014
An article by Charles Perera at LW begins with the following
In the corporate environment the Executive President” is the officer that exercises the majority of control over a company. It is his/her job to lead the company and guide it into a direction of profit and success. They work often with the COO and CFO of the cooperation to govern the company as a whole. At some companies this title is also referred to as CEO, Chief Executive Officer. If a said company has a Board of Directors the Executive President/CEO will often serve as Chairman of the Board.”
It is the same with an Executive President. During the past nine years It has been demonstrated in Sri Lanka that the Executive President is a positive power centre to fight enemies efficiently and keep at bay intruding enemies to thwart progress and development of the country, and bring peace and security to the people. Sri Lanka needed that environment. An Executive President proved extremely useful in the situation it was found in 2005 when Mr.Mahinda Rajapakse was elected to the high Office.
It was more important that the hands of an Executive President were not bound by checks and balances and kept free to exercise his executive powers for the protection of the country and the welfare of its people. In that the removal of the 17th Amendment was useful and the 18th Amendment that replaced it was essential to allow the Executive President to move freely in the exercise of his office.
Checks and balances do not help very much a President who wants to provide people with welfare measure as it is well seen in USA today. The President Barrack Obama’s welfare projects have been nipped away by the Congress and the Senate. Do we want same thing to happen here bringing back the 17 Amendment to limit the powers of the executive President ?
ROFL! ROFL!

Time for the people to rise up and speak out against this corrupt and brutal regime. CJ Sarath Silva speaks the truth, and he is a learned man, and knows exactly what our country is facing. Another term, and we are all sunk. They have ruled with arrogance, greed, and made sure those who kiss up to them, murderers, thieves, and goons, are taken care of, protected, and have had their backs scratched. The people must not be fooled by these harbingers of evil anymore, they should remember Weliweriya, when their people were protesting for clean water, not luxuries, and were brutally killed and injured, by none other than this brutal family, they should be reminded about the cost of living while these skunks live like royalty, and they should be reminded about the ridiculous travel bill incurred by these people and their entourages, around the world, in utmost luxury, eating and sleeping in top hotels.
We cannot get rid of these vermin, until the country unites and votes them out.

Upali Wijewardene / November 13, 2014
Yes, CJ’s speech is fiery, but he is the cause of all this. He FIRST allowed crossovers, a politically motivated judgement and then he took Mahinda Rajapaksa off the hook in the Tsunami swindle which gave him the resources to launch his campaigns. The Ex CJ Silva’s judgements were no better that the current Mohan Peris’s. All of them have kissed the dirty arses of politican ever. Who can save the country now?
Why is it that no one has thought of impeaching the chief justice over his eagerness to deliver the SC’s opinion in a few (working) hours. That could also make the opinion null and void.
Legal experts will have to also now challenge the opinion here as well as the international court of justice. Another chapter to be added to the Geneva process.

Dr.Rajasingham. Narendran / November 12, 2014
Ex.CJ Sarath Silva has used very strong words indeed. MR should be thankful he did not use the words ‘ Hena gahapuden’, considering the emotive nature of his speech. The first sign of MR’s desire to enjoy unbridled power, was when he ignored the Supreme Court’s ( then headed by Sarath Silva) direction to reduce fuel prices! The ‘ Best man’ (at MR’s wedding) has turned out to be his ‘Worst man’ ! CJ Sarath Silva led Supreme Court also ordered the road blocks and check points in Colombo be removed, and Tamils who had sought refuge in Colombo be not sent back to the east. Sarath Silva also enabled MR to contest for the presidency the first time by absolving him of misappropriating Tsunami funds. He calls it a mistake now. Sarath Silva probably knows more than we do about MR and his ways and we know a lot!

Fully agreed with this comment, without any reservation.
These guys appear time to time push the elections toward Sinhala Intellectuals direction to make sure it produces only Sinhala racist governments. These types of law manipulators to elections are the real descendants of DS, to manipulate votes by handing law, rather than honestly contesting in election. That is why from 1948 only racist governments are able to come to power. This mad dog can see only 18A, but not the havoc has happened to the country. He is not allowing others to win the election. He is pushi
He ruled ICC should not get involved in Lanka. He ruled Chandirka should lose one year. He wanted MPs to cross to SLFP. He shared on the tsunami fund and gave verdict toward who stole with him in partnership. God saved the Sinhala Buddhist from his tyranny in the Supreme Court.
This guy is a nasty, dirty and manipulative the Sinhala Intellectual ng the Sinhala Buddhist to surrender further to king.

There were many people in this country who applauded when we ditched the Privy Council and chose the ultimate arbiter of justice as our own
Supreme Court when we hurriedly became a Republic – a charade with which Tamils distanced themselves with in that illegal Constituent Assembly. The country will now see that it was not the Tamils who were defrauded when the Kodeeswaren Case, where the Privy Council was convinced the then GoSL was playing politics with the Constitution. The learned gentleman judges of the Privy Council referred the matter to the Ceylon Courts – an unprecedented step. Mrs. B’s Ministers may have patted themselves on their backs that in sending the Kodeeswaren’s case to the cold storage the interest of the Sinhala nation will be served. What we see now is the folly of that action.
The bitter truth is we are not adult enough to govern ourselves according to the Laws. What works today is the Law of the Jungle and no less a person than a former CJ, well versed with the law, says that.
Sri Lankan justice that was held in such high esteem in the years gone by is now being laughed at – universally. That we now have 2 Chief Justices simultaneously is in itself a slight on our reputation.
Mother Lanka, we weep for thee. Your major troubles are just beginning.

None of them so far said they want a secular government. Even the Ranil foxy is quoting from Buddhist scripts how extreme Buddhist will his ruling be. He looks like he going to declare he is Sinhala Buddhist to become an EP.

It is nice to here the EX CJ speak well of JRJ. I think that the fundamental problem Sri Lankans have is that they cannot appreciate the qualities of a good and honest leader. There is a blindness to the consequences of using petty jealousy to guide whom they vote and support. There is a reason MR referred to him self as the Gamme Baiya even though he cannot call him self that anymore. It is because our Sinhalese have a mindset of identifying with the Gamme Baiya and voting for him. So people like JRJ and RW not good must be treated with suspicion. But MR = Game Baiya good man can be trusted even if he shoots them in the face. Until the Sinhalese grow up and get educated enough to understand these differences there will be no proper resolution to these problems because they are self inflicted due to stupidity. It is a noble cause to fight for justice and I wholeheartedly support the efforts of the opposition but I often wonder if their best efforts will be negated due to the moronic nature to the Sinhalese voters.

Did not Sarath Silva realize the true evil of Mahinda Rajapakse until only two years ago ?
After all they were bosom pals for 50 years.They were Pals when MR was a southern politician and Sarath was a high ranking State Counsel. They were pals when Sarath Silva was CJ and MR was PM. They were pals when CJ Sarath Silva was caught with his pants down with a girl young enough to be his daughter in a swamp near the parliament. They were pals when Sarath Silva as CJ heard the case of his pal MR (in the fraud case of Saving Hambantota)
Sarath Silva then said that he was the only judge in the world who can rise above the principles of bias, conflict of interest ,political affliations, and hearing his own friends cases ! I think Sarath Silva is far more evil than MR. Sarath Silva is the devil disguised as a human being. He is a destroyer of institutions, principles, families and human beings.
I cannot understand how the JVP which moved a motion of no-confidence on Sarath Silva when he was CJ is now bringing him forward as a worthy man whose opinion should be listened to !

Sarath Silva is himself a total crook.
His regime as CJ was when justice was totally subverted.
It is alleged that he used criminals for his own nefarious ends.
If he had been taken in as a minister
and given all the perks, he would have
been much happier. Where did he
mess up?

If ex-CJ was now CJ
He’d sing a different song
If CJ was now ex-CJ
He’d say MR was wrong
All bloody rogues

Quote “Former Chief Justice Sarath N. Silva during an emotional speech today described President Mahinda Rajapaksa as ‘a harbinger of evil’ (Henahura) who has made a thundering blow against the law of Sri Lanka and added that this attack will surely boomerang.”
What are you Sarath Silva? A KUPADIYA AND A Sc.m of manupilator??…..
Then, what was your close association with “BEDDEGANA SANJEEWA” the criminal ?????????????
What was this Criminal doing in your Offices during CBK’s rule??
YOU TOO WERE A HENAHURA FOR THE COUNTRY………..
Moreover, remember the people have not pardoned you.
You have no moral right to speak against MR because you too were one time a responsible person for Law and Order in the Country, who FAILED MISERABLY…….

Isn’t there an old saying, ‘Set a thief to catch a thief’. I suppose in somewhat similar way, it takes one ‘Henahura’ to identify another of that species. What the country seems to be paying for seems to be for the sins of both these fellows!

like he did before when thoppi passa visited him and put arm around – its was golden memories of their romances.
we saw the same when modawansa was on hunger strike at the un and thoppi raising him from the dead.
So like the street show gamayas will try to hoodwink the land of gamayas about a better situation if if if.;)

The CJ Sarath Silva calling Rajapakse a “henahura” and a “hora” is like the pot calling the kettle black. These two are so black it is hardly distinguishable. Sarath Silva was once upon a time MaRa’s best friend and given out some ropey judgements favouring MaRa. He may cry foul now, but the people have not forgotten what he did, when he was the darling of the Rajapakses.
