As the general election nears, cunning Ranil, already secured a seat for UNP in the Jaffna district by making a loser, a great sacrificer.

No much difference either bail out or keep in prison hospital

chuti Monday, 08 October 2018 03:27 PM

apparently making controversial statement on the resurgence of the LTTE isn't as big and threatening as Contempt of Court charges!!

No such luck for Gnanasara Thero'

Banda Monday, 08 October 2018 04:42 PM

The Thero messed up with Judiciary and how can he expect leniency from within? Only hope is Pardon.

In few years time politicians will have a system of advance bails before produce in courts.

This is a continuous event!!!!

S.P.Ramkumar Monday, 08 October 2018 05:54 PM

Hon. Wijayakala don't loose your temper in future then you loose everything, We knew that you are not real supporter of LTTE, for your cheapest political benifits you are act like a supporter. As a minister you had a power to talk with northern police top brass and control crime and crime against women and children. But you had not done but you making politically rounding.

I didn’t voted to Mrs.Maheswaran MP; however, I can affirm South that the statement made by her is the one and only statement made by any lawmaker elected by Tamils during last election which represents the mindset of “whole” Tamils. The conflict in ideologies can’t be criminalises; if the “Sinhalese “ government and community believes threatening of Tamils through its impotent judiciary system will change the aspirations,time will prove that it will only be delusion.Daily Mirror , if you are genuine enough, please publish this comment.Dr.Anton

Why waste time. Laws in the books just for a show off to the world.

Kalum Monday, 08 October 2018 07:22 PM

Good. I derive no pleasure in seeing people getting incarcerated or being threatened of incarceration. This seems to be the only entertainment the government is promising its citizens. I thought we’d evolved from such pleasures since medieval times.
