He was trying to let-down the whole country, to take revenge from MR & Gota. Very good for him - not only court-marshaled, his civic rights too, should be cancelled. Now his plan is to give bogus evidence, in international courts, to punish MR and Gota. This should be stopped, by all means.

It is high time for the opposition to forget all their differences and fight for justice. They must ask for the unstinted support of all religous leaders. It is very clear that the ghost of Idi Amin has been resurrected in Sri Lanka. This is not a joke.

A bad move, in many ways! Will be perceived as 'power-hungry leaders misusing their power' - the image of Sri Lanka and its leadership will suffer! Gives a rallying point for a soundly defeated coalition; takes the focus away from what can (and needs to) be done in the country; and, ignites party animosities creating an unhealthy environment for the General Election.

The good leader's have high standars in quality, but this act proves MR's lowest of all the human attitudes. Fools! Killing the name of Sri Lanka in the eyes of outsiders. Few Tubelights blames international community, if the international community implement sanction on Sri lanka, then you guys have to lick the floor for food... or better grow Mayok in the gardens instead of flowers.
