My mother will not back down says CJ’s son

Shaveen Bandaranayake the son of Chief Justice Shirani Bandaranayake, who is facing an imminent impeachment motion in parliament in a note posted on Facebook, said his mother would not back down from anything and called on the citizens of the country to stand by her.

“An individual can live his or her life seeing the injustice around them, turn a blind eye and die a forgotten person. Or, he or she can take a stand against tyranny. The Chief Justice of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka is taking a stand. Which side you, the citizen takes, defines who we are as Sri Lankans,” he said.

When the Daily Mirror contacted Shaveen today, he confirmed he had posted the comment.

The following is the full comment sent to us by email:

“My mother is the 43rd Chief Justice of this country. She is also the first female Chief Justice in this country’s 200+ year history. She is an academic, one who possessed a PhD in Law before it went on sale. She is also a loving sister, mother and a wife. She is a hardworking woman who loves her country dearly and wishes to preserve its seemingly flailing integrity.

She is not a politician. She is not the kind of person who expects to do something and expect something in return. She is also not the kind of person who would waver or change under pressure or intimidation. She is not going to change her conscience on a whim. There have been many occasions in which she could have given in and been rewarded lavishly.

Most people are unaware of who my mother really is. Until recently, seldom would anyone have heard anything from her or about her. She has always believed that as a judge and as the Chief Justice, she must not socialize or be seen to favour any party. It is not that she is not a sociable person. It is purely because she feels it’s a burden she must carry in order to uphold the integrity of the august position which she holds. Is that incapacity? Is that misbehaviour? The powers that be claim the impending impeachment to be one to uphold democracy and the concept of separation of powers. Frankly, in my humble opinion, it is one of vengeance. It is one of spite and pure hatred.

There have been many people in support of my mother’s cause and I am both humbled and strengthened by it. Those who stand with us today, I feel, stand not just for my mother. They stand for the independence of the judiciary and a democratic society. My mother believes in this country and it’s people. She has been a citizen of this proud country for 54 years and have dedicated almost 32 years in various capacities for this country. The country has not betrayed her. It’s people have not betrayed her. Those who govern have betrayed the country it governs and the people who elected them.

My mother will not back down from anything and if I personally have a ounce of her courage, I consider myself fortunate. She has always fought for what is right and will do so until her last breath. An individual can live his/her life seeing the injustice around them, show a blind eye and die a forgotten entity. Or, you can stand up against tyranny and make a stand. The Chief Justice of the democratic socialist republic of Sri Lanka is making a stand. Which side you, the citizen takes, defines who we are as Sri Lankans!

Well said Son.

Sapumal Bandara Friday, 02 November 2012 11:05 AM

A brave son of a brave mother.

asela Friday, 02 November 2012 11:12 AM

People who have gone to at least 5th level of school will understand what's happening here . All educated genuine Sri Lankans are with you . But I doubt to what extent they can make a stand . You need to remember we are far behind to the word Democracy . If you try to go against this dirty regime they will make sure that you will not survive that long .. Anyway I salute your braveness

Andy Friday, 02 November 2012 11:14 AM

a good move and we all should support them...

Gnanam Friday, 02 November 2012 11:14 AM

My dear son... stay away from this dirty politics. As your father was also a sucker ended up in courts. so please mind your own business would be a great advice...
Good Luck and all the best for a great future.

Bale Friday, 02 November 2012 11:19 AM

Well said. But why is DM giving publicity to a FB post?

Gune Friday, 02 November 2012 11:19 AM

If she is not a Politician how come she was appointed as a supreme court judge during chandrikas regime? And what was her experience at the BAR?

Eneff Friday, 02 November 2012 11:36 AM

Why Bandaranaike and not Kariyawasam?

Minister Friday, 02 November 2012 11:41 AM

Well, we could have endorsed your comments had your mom forced your dad not to accept any high positions in the Government and/or corporation as she is the CJ of the country and there was a conflict of interest.

candappa philip Friday, 02 November 2012 11:42 AM

You are truly a son of a great mother. Take care.

jiggy Friday, 02 November 2012 11:47 AM

Wow what a facebook warrior.

sam Friday, 02 November 2012 11:48 AM

I am sorry want to sort out bit of messy info I got about this matter...
1. CJ was friendly with MR until the TFC deal went bust and force Mr. Bandaranaike to step down from NSB
2. And CJ was align with government until bribery commission start a case against Mr. Bandaranaike, who led the TFC deal while he was NSB chief
Once after his husband marginalized from cooperate bodies CJ went against the MR and all this start. I may be wrong and if someone got more inside info, please inform the public, for this sudden changes...

Sunil de Silva Friday, 02 November 2012 11:49 AM

Can we get Shaveen to give a similar commendation on his father?

Karolis Friday, 02 November 2012 11:50 AM

Well said son, We expect a few people like you who has back bone. Try to be a modern day Madduma Bandara. As you said we have to die as a peroson who lived. Don't be anothere Hirunika.

ACE Friday, 02 November 2012 11:52 AM

Very well written. CJ's son seems like an educated chap unlike Dr Mervin's little thug

lawyer Friday, 02 November 2012 11:55 AM

What is the price of a Phd in law now and where to buy it?

buffaloa citizen Friday, 02 November 2012 11:58 AM

Their are only few who understand humanity, democracy and righteousness in this country. The majority, are pseudo patriots and cowards (they are good at annhilating and harrassing minorities and they consider this bravery), that is why they blindly elected MR to teach a lesson. The country has transformed to a hench aiya state. That is the culture of the majority citizens and their elected leaders.

merril Friday, 02 November 2012 12:04 PM

Shaveen, We are proud of you and your mum. But one thing I don't agree is she shouldn't have allowed your father to get a political appointment as Chairman - NSB. Through that she tarnished her image.

Wara Friday, 02 November 2012 12:05 PM

Not well said. If he talk about his father as well, then well said !

Wara Friday, 02 November 2012 12:05 PM

Impressive write up.. and well said kid! Absolute tyranny and what not!

By the way, shouldn’t the name of CJ’s son read as Shaveen Kariyawasam?

J.D Friday, 02 November 2012 12:14 PM

Thumbs up..... dear son

bunty Friday, 02 November 2012 12:16 PM

Your mom reversed all she gave about the Golden Key Case! Your dad had many corrupt deals and those also involved Ceylinco related deals ! Should v feel sorry for you?

Nodrog Friday, 02 November 2012 12:16 PM

Buffaloa, get lost or po dah once and for all with your racists comments. Somehow every topic under discussion becomes a racial issue with you.

Musthaq Friday, 02 November 2012 12:17 PM

Great expectations for our nation, what a shot against the evil political malpractices, excellent patriotism......
Thuogh this exemplarary decision though would fail due to thuggarism, is a great example of how a true patriotic civil servant or individual shoud act bravely at any circumstance.

Nodrog Friday, 02 November 2012 12:19 PM

A good lesson to all that no matter what you cannot lie down with dogs and not end up having fleas.

jayantha Friday, 02 November 2012 12:00 AM

I also say welsaid son and brave son.But someone should explain how on earth the CJ in a country shake hand with a so junior lawyer like namal rajapakshe and can be impartial.

We are proud about you and your mother. We are with independent Judiciary and face book made Gadaffi to die under culvert like dog

jayantha Friday, 02 November 2012 12:00 AM

I am also against this move of impeachment as it is not done in good faith.but she also were not with general public when she made some decisions in the past specially against trade unions and some other occations. via DM Android App

K De Silva Friday, 02 November 2012 12:34 PM

Ok What you said about your mother may be correct. How about your father who was responsible for buying TFC shares for a huge sum which belongs to the people of this country.

Lobo Friday, 02 November 2012 12:34 PM

And I suppose you are one of the few who has all those traits and the courage? Don't use big words if you don't know the meanings of them, it only exposes your ignorance. If you have a grievance with the Govt, take it elsewhere. Don't make this a forum to put forth your hatred, allegations and theories on what this country is. Leave if your'e not happy...good riddance!

A citizen Friday, 02 November 2012 01:05 PM

Well said. We are far awayfrom Democracy. World will ignore us as uncivilized country

samara Friday, 02 November 2012 01:14 PM

people will rise up,it will be but too late

Silva de Mervin Friday, 02 November 2012 01:32 PM

Yes! He is now in the danger of 'beating himself up' on the road.

Hector Perera Friday, 02 November 2012 01:40 PM

I take my hats off for you son. Fight for it and you can start it. I guess thousands of people will rally around you. There were some comments about your father by some people who doesn't know Sri Lankan politics. My dear friends his father was carrying out the orders by the Regimadipathi. You will come to know the truth very soon, if you believe them. But he made a mistake carrying out them without resigning. This is a good lesson for the other law abiding educated citicenz not get in to that trap with this most corrupted Govt.

J. Crossette Friday, 02 November 2012 01:58 PM

Well come to the privileged-victim's club of Mrs Wickramathunga, Apsara Fonseka and Hiruni Premachandra..

Now good luck and god bless this kid!

hawkins Friday, 02 November 2012 02:24 PM

Dear son, The crisis in judiciery of Sri Lanka is more complex than what you have stated. You are a bright and a smart kid. Don't get involved in issues of this nature, simply concentrate in your studies. Good luck.

Rana Saturday, 03 November 2012 12:01 AM

I am fully against with this impeachment against CJ. The reason is the Majority of the Parliament is Rajapaksa supporters who are thugs, womenizers, murderers and corrupted ones and they do what ever President says and the impeachment is one man action.
However CJ was also should realise famous saying " Balloth Ekka Nida Gaththanam negitinna wenne Makkan Ekka kiyala"

Junior Citizen Saturday, 03 November 2012 12:09 AM

DM is giving publicity b'cause it is written by CJ herself and posted through son's FB - she okayed 18th A, Reversed Golden K order, disgracefully held on to while husband being prosecuted by bribery comm- She should go or thrown out.

saman Saturday, 03 November 2012 12:10 AM

We are highly proud to see your deep thoughts in understanding political corruptions in the country at very young age, even though your mum is being directly targeted in this case. This is a great example for the society.

Mahehs Saturday, 03 November 2012 12:11 AM

Dear Shaveen,
As a son you’re correct. But, N. Silva to you’r mom, done a great injustice to this country. None of the CJ’s didn’t even try to correct the system & restore the justice in the judiciary until they face injustice. N.Silva is the person who made judiciary a brothel house. This is a good lessen to all the judges & lawyers who are going after politicians.

Raj Saturday, 03 November 2012 12:12 AM

Mervin & Co may try some drama on this issue???

sarath Saturday, 03 November 2012 12:22 AM

Pluck up courage!

cobbler Saturday, 03 November 2012 12:23 AM

This will be a much better country, IF, the children of 10% of the POLITICIANS can give a similar statement.

Raju Saturday, 03 November 2012 12:36 AM

What is this new love for CJ. When she was appointed these were the very people who shouted it was political patronage. At that time she was seen as a MR fan. Now what is this noise. More than her she it is her husband who is the villan. He is charged withh corrouption and misuse of funds at a state institution even late government has now brought chrges. This woman carries Bandaranayake name married to a Kariawasam. Then this boy also carries the name Bandranaike just to derive benefits attached to this name. A bogus son who know nothing about law and order should keep his mouth shut until proper legal procedure is completed.

Prof Wickramatillake Saturday, 03 November 2012 12:45 AM

We are with you, but clarify how she got to MR in the first place. Now a reverse has happened?

Jaya Saturday, 03 November 2012 01:02 AM

It's strange the son to carry mother's surname rather than father's. I am unable to understand this logic or legal implications. He has not mentioned about is father's alleged involvement in illegal transactions. For CJ, hiding her spouse's information is a high hand act and it is a breach of trust and conduct.

everyone understand the injustice in Sri Lanka, but we do not know the full history of this cases to pass a judgement.

s.Rajapakse Saturday, 03 November 2012 01:49 AM

god boy. but our people can even kill their parents for something. specially blady politicians. look at the minister?. dont know whether he is a law prof. he will kill anyone to preserve his ministership. he selected secretary now going against? less educated people are ruling the country. paba,mervin wimal ,malini,anarkalei are our bosses.

ranil Saturday, 03 November 2012 01:55 AM

Son, Do you know how she was appointed as SC Judge, and why?

weha Saturday, 03 November 2012 01:57 AM

As I always say, these people never care as long as they are ok. but once they too feel the pain they come out with all sorts of statements.
another Hirunika in the making i guess.
Guys don't get carried away. people who shout only when they are on the receiving end aren't the people we should get behind

Christopher Saturday, 03 November 2012 02:02 AM

OK, now all comment pundits are analyzing a sons plea for his mother. He has every right to publish comments and appeal for help. Grow up Lankans. The issue is are you with her or not. It is up to you to decide and not drag this and that and other people in to it.

Rishard Saturday, 03 November 2012 02:03 AM

Patana, it was the Twitter more than the Facebook. Start tweeting.

jan Saturday, 03 November 2012 02:29 AM

Jayantha Saturday, 03 November 2012 03:09 AM

You are much more great than all those who are in silence, bend their back under injustice and dig their own grave with ignorance and selfishness.
A day will come when the justice will triump.
So be patient my dear son till that day.

Devaka Saturday, 03 November 2012 03:33 AM

Absolutely True

kolla Saturday, 03 November 2012 03:47 AM

Dear Son, This regime knows only one thing that is 'injustice' they think the country is their personal asset. The pain they spread to sons, daughters, husbands, wives is unthinkable. They also have sons and daughters and when the pay back time comes earth will be too small for them to hide. We salute you for you courage. You've showed the different between a son of an educated lady and a son of a thuggery minister.

Polkudu Chandrika Saturday, 03 November 2012 03:47 AM

I have lots of handkerchiefs for you to dry your tears. Some for your mother also.

Asoka Saturday, 03 November 2012 03:52 AM

This poor boy now under unpatriotic path. Take a example of Sarath Fonseka. He never ever get any place in Sri Lanka politics. His place same as Wickramabahu Karunarathne. Because of UNP he got votes. UNP never ever allow this man to lead in future.

Travis Saturday, 03 November 2012 05:10 AM

Dear sir, How can you say to him,mind your own business, it's about his mother, just causing more problems will not held any one.

Travis Saturday, 03 November 2012 05:20 AM

yes, asking the question,fine,also demand the answer and then argue on specific answer, But for God's sake do not get away from the real issue. This issue being the obvious.

Travis Saturday, 03 November 2012 05:30 AM

Good point, Shaveen, sorry but these questions must get answered. Question, was your dad holding equally high appointments before mother's appointment as CJ

Sandy Saturday, 03 November 2012 05:32 AM

So glad your Mum is standing up for the whole land.
God bless and guide her.

jamal Saturday, 03 November 2012 05:50 AM

Wife is a better half of husband. Country will not forgive her husband for ammasing wealth using his position. With the indictment, she should have resigned but still holding the post, The loss of NSB is the loss of the country. This fellow will not get proper treatment until she holds the position. Both must sent to jail.

ishan Saturday, 03 November 2012 05:57 AM

It would have been more informative to publish the conflict of interest rather than a FB post. Lets not pretend this is a case of a totally innocent CJ on the gallows.

Given the predicament of Mr Kariyawasam and his day in court. And the potential for the CJ to abuse her position. It makes sense that she steps down to allow for impartiality - she could be reappointed with her integrity intact afterwards.

If this CJ lacks such integrity or otherwise feels the need to cling onto power - then impeachment is fair game imho.

samosa Saturday, 03 November 2012 06:02 AM

ok bro, nice reading you opinions but be vigilant about white vans and motor bike guys ya...

Travis Saturday, 03 November 2012 06:08 AM

CJ has the REAL LEGAL opportunity now to defend her self according to constitution as stated in the daily mirror (UMP places its position-impeachment- Daily Mirror of 3rd). if that's the correct position, why worry. here is the real opportunity to be the real person or not. Face the facts, place on record the real legal position in defence, show the public the real and correct positionIn, Then you will have the majority on your side.

With due respect to CJ

Why cannot we commence NEW forum to prevent who ever big wigs to use us to drum up support ONLY when the same dog begins to bite the owner. Talk openly and let's prevent this rot. REAL JUSTICE must be a fight we must go for.

Travis Saturday, 03 November 2012 06:15 AM

Fine, if he did make a mistake in following orders, at least now come out with the facts, if he cannot come out with the real facts, punish his for a wrong doing for sure.
As for CJ, same come out with the facts, if not again face the consequences. Lesson for all.

Trevor Sunday, 04 November 2012 03:15 AM

These positions must be held by people who are qualified, capable, experienced and their immediate family members who have clean records in the law and order of the company. If any of the family member is found against law and order of the country, one should not wait until an impeachment to be brought up to vacate the position, but with due diligent step down from the position.

Then the citizens will respect.

Vishali Sunday, 04 November 2012 03:38 AM

CJ was o.k.with govt.until govt.took a serious view on her husband conduct .She was angry and acted against government for personal grounds. Since there was a prima facie her husband is awaiting a trial in a court which is under her authority. In major misappropriation cases, wives are questioned.. Here it cannot be done. If she is honest, she must resign and allow the judge to hold fearless trial.. She is the wife of most corrupted person.

rienzie martinesz Sunday, 04 November 2012 03:56 AM

whatever goes around come around

Stock Lover Sunday, 04 November 2012 04:08 AM

Few questions to the son; (These needs to be answered before pin pointing at others)
1. How can NSB Chairman single handed without any approval go ahead with a investment of this size.

2. How can he hold a position as a chairman when CJ was his wife? Isn't that a conflict of interest?

3. Who did the research for the NSB purchase of shares? Was it done by an independent person or atleast by the investment committee?

4. When NSB has options like JKH, HNB, COMB, and many blue chips why did they use public funds to invest in a company which is corrupted like TFC?

5. Shouldnt the leagal system support development in the country and direct the government in the right direction? Not go against just for the sake of going against....

Kingsley Wijesinhe Sunday, 04 November 2012 04:20 AM

There seem to be a lot of ignorant people posting comments here. Bandaranayake is the CJ's maiden name, and she has chosen to retain it instead of adopting her husband's name Kariyawasam. Many women do this now, maybe as a sign of their liberation or maybe because they have attained some degree of fame or eminence in a profession while unmarried and want to retain the recognition attached to their maiden names.

However, it is indeed strange that her son should call himself Bandaranayake instead of Kariyawasam. He may not know the implications. Usually a person adopts the mother's name if he or she is an illegitimate child. By adopting his mother's name the CJ's son is insulting both his father and his mother.

Kingsley

Gune Sunday, 04 November 2012 08:15 AM

Actually that is good advice. Go back to how she became a judge in the supreme court. Her husband was offered the post at NSB on account of being CJ. When he took it (and did corrupt deals such as the TFC transaction) The son is a fool if he thinks his mother is innocent. She accepted the bribe now she has to face the consequences. I hope the opposition and Sri Lankan Lawyers manage to prevent the impeachment but the son should probably stay out of it and decide not to become like his parents.

Gune Sunday, 04 November 2012 08:31 AM

If you go back to how she became a judge in the supreme court that is up for debate.

Gune Sunday, 04 November 2012 08:37 AM

If you take a job got because your wife is CJ you are corrupt. If this corrupt behavior make you follow orders that are wrong that compounds the corruption.

Following orders is not an acceptable defense in a court of law. Ask CJ.

Gune Sunday, 04 November 2012 08:59 AM

I read through your article and realize how naive you are or wonder how stupid you think we are. I oppose the impeachment myself but be assured it is, if I may quote you " for the independence of the judiciary and a democratic society " not for your mother.
