He has the freedom to speak to his conscience the same way Uni Student Leader Ryan says all Policeman say lies

SC has to investigate and find out whether there is any merit in the statement made by the deputy minister before charging him for contempt of court.A true democracy can be built only on unbiased judiciary.

When Jesus told the truth 2000 years before, lawyers at that time namely Kaipass decided to crucify Jesus.

JVP 71, 88 and LTTE how many youths killed by Sr Lankan government.What was the reason? Injustice everywhere.What this lawyers are doing ? Postpone cases and take their charges without a receipt. Even bus conductors are giving a ticket. In 2018 Budget , compulsory requirement to provide a receipt by lawyers for every transaction.

Ranjan is a clean politician unlike the ones who came to politics saying one thing and now doing another. . We respect him.

Sofia Wednesday, 25 October 2017 01:08 PM

It is the corrupt lawyers who are trying to silence Ranjan for telling the truth as everyone knows these black coated cheats.

Nalin Wednesday, 25 October 2017 01:18 PM

One has to agree that the majority of lawyers in this country are corrupt. The second highest percentage of Parliamentarians after the lot who have not even passed the Ordinary level exams are non practicing Lawyers.

Ranjan is correct and very courageous. Just take former CJ with his famous wrong verdict given in the Hambantota case in favour of MR. And there are many more foul eggs in our judiciary. via DM Android App

Ranjan should be protected at any cost, he has spoken the truth?

Ram Wednesday, 25 October 2017 03:26 PM

GMOA ridicuels CA decision, no action except on a private complaint against Padeniya. SC will get a good dose of corruption in judiciary and in the legal profession
