The parliament of Sri Lanka(SL) made the citizens to falsely beleve that the Parliamentary Select Committee(PSC) had the right to; a) Inquire the Chief Justice(CJ), b) violate her individual rights c)humiliate her and d) make the position of CJ a “toothless bulldog”.

The members of parliament of both the UPFA and the UNP must resign immediately and the parties should be banned because; a) they violated the constitution of SL, to which, they took an oath of compliance and b) they are guilty of contempt of court by their refusal to comply with a court order to appear in court.

Further, Wimal Weerawansa, a cabinet minister of UPFA, criticised the judgement of the appeal court, which can also make him loose his civic rights in a court of law.

Obviously, since 1972, SL had “Kangaroo legislature” with full Sinhala ethnic blast, fashioning “Kangaroo Courts” and racist military, to obstruct justice to Tamils and force down injustice.

Recently, even the individual and Human right to honour the dead was met with brutal military force in Jaffna University Campus, violating the “constitution” of SL in its colony of Tamil Eelam(TE). Civilised norm recognised by human race to honour the lives of the dead was disallowed.

There is no apology yet, either from the military or the GOSL. There are only threats and intimidations from the Education Minister, who lost his civic rights in the past and was in jail.

Clearly, the spill over of violating the rights and the constitution, is now also to the Sinhalese. But the truth is that any system of injustice is unsustainable.

The biggest impediment to implementing the LLRC completely is the writer’s boss (and the boss’s brother). Just about everyone, including the international community knows this. The only question is why the writer continues to associate himself with the regime. Hope the price they are paying him to try and polish the proverbial turd is worth it. As for the author, he tarnishes himself by those he associates with. The man who defended the indefensible (in this case not implementing their own LLRC report – lets not discuss the war crime allegations) … history has seen a few of those … google Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf for amusement.

Good suggestions coming from a Government M.P.

Who will “bell the cat”?
