No need calling anyone or any group rogues and robbers until proven guilty beyond doubt and this has not happened yet.Yes,true the guilty must be punished,but after all evidence and proof is brought to light.

Exactly my views as well, revoked his bail and the heart trouble will start again.

This fellow was not in remand but in the hospital fooling everybody with some rouge doctors who medically defended this man with or without money.

Did he arrive in an ambulance, or what ?

If remanded or jailed he is bound to catch an ailment.

Premalal Saturday, 27 June 2015 11:21 AM

Looks like he had made a full recovery from the serious sickness which needed ambulance transport. Maybe seriously sick people should seek bail rather than medical treatment.

Loud applause by opposition members = Loud applause by members of an organization of robbers

Remand or Jail will be the right place for Basil, not parliament.

Welcome back to the house of thieves,

All politicians are liars!!! Never trust government

Upul Friday, 26 June 2015 05:41 PM

As soon as he was granted bail all his ailments, aches, pain, and non ability to walk (to the court room) are just cured by some miracle. These strange things happen only in SRILANKA.
