Serves him right for being arrogant and violating clear court orders. He thought he was being smart....NOT!

This namal baby thinks law is in his hands and he is above the law.

The protests are fooling the entire country because they were the ones who started it and plunged the country into debt. It's ok to lease everything that will not be a profit to the country. What is the point of having everything without use and profitable.

He disobeyed a specific court order and so he deserves punitive action.This is justice. But I wonder what special treatment he gets in Hambantota remand.

alex Wednesday, 11 October 2017 01:48 PM

supposed to be a lawyer, and violates the court order. His Bar License should be cancelled. In any case it was obtained under dubious manner

S.T.M. Jabeer (Attorney-at-Law) Wednesday, 11 October 2017 02:38 PM

Hereafter Namal should not wear the black coat as he broke the Law.
