Colombo High Court Judge Vikum Kaluarachchi today directed Welikada Prison Authority to take MP Wimal Weerawansa to attend the Parliament Committee sessions, in which he is a member.

When the revision application, which was filed seeking an order to alter the remand order given by the Fort Magistrate, was taken into consideration, Gamini Marapana PC who appeared for the petitioner told court that his client is currently being permitted to participate in Parliament sessions but he needs to be attended in Parliament Committee Sessions as well.

Permitting the request, High Court Judge put off the further consideration of the application for March 8. (Shehan Chamika Silva)

How come our justice system allows a remanded suspect to visit parliament? Once a person is remanded, he needs to be suspended by the speaker until he is proved innocent by that same court of law.

If this man had a bit of a sense of honor, he would resign as a parliamentarian.

Most Hon. Judges whom stands for justice, please don't release Weerawansa on the 6th March, 2017, send him again to the prison. Only now without his presence we have little bit peace.

If he has a bit sense, how many times he had gone to temple trees and begged RW to absorb him in to UNP. As you say, he should resign from politics by now.

OK Hon. Judge's verdict we cannot say anything, but our humble request is - not to send him on bail or release him. Until he regrets and admit that he looted so many billions, he should be confined to remand.

He and Gamampilla are the worst trouble makers in our country next to Mahinda. All these fellows should be kept behind bars life time.

Is the expensive Gel and the clean suit (white) is provided by the prison when he goes out?

How on earth a 'law breaker' is allowed to be 'law maker'. If our system of democracy is to have any meaning then such persons should be disqualified from entering parliament.

Correct, the entire nation likes if WW is kept behind bars.

Kadupol Jothywansa Tuesday, 28 February 2017 07:25 AM

Who will listen to him in the Parliament.

Kaboos Tuesday, 28 February 2017 08:41 AM

What ever said and done WW should be in parliament as a MP. This guy can make poor mass to believe what ever he utters. With least qualifications can make a big impact
