    If you go through the new companies act the directors are responsible for their action and the monies invested is not theirs but the share holders. So why not question the decisions of the directors.

    will the decision be same if it was done by the ruling party

    At a time the people have lost confidence over our judicial system this enjoining order has been issued. The government also highlighted the need of a strong opposition taking in to consideration this.

    No party in democratic Sri Lanka belongs to a certain members or family etc. Everything relating to the governing of a party should be transparent and within the constitution of the party. Hope the issue will be sorted out with less damage to the party members and supporters. UNP is still a respectable and a responsible party. Hope it stay same.

    They would have suppressed that they were the people pelted stones at the party office

    Saman Wednesday, 08 August 2012 07:45 AM

    Well done...!!!

    UNP is very much disjointed. Enloining order will not make any difference !!!!!

    This is the way to get back to old glory. present leader made many blunders situation the UNP in today clearly evidence what has happened to one time majestic Party. how can u changes by passing part constitution. How can you vote for people like him with trust. once comes to power he will do what he likes not what country wants. this is the situation our country has faced even now.

    Companies have some sort of Corp Gov. The UNP is a national party that has ruled this country for decades and will so. It's conduct effects a nation

    ALI GETA PERA Wednesday, 08 August 2012 08:21 AM

    Very good atleast someone has thought about it seriously.
    If the leadership is not changed, defineatly this time also the UNP will loose

    Senaka Wednesday, 08 August 2012 08:10 AM

    When will this power struggle end ? UNP should expel these trouble makers in the party. Bad for the country to not to have a strong opposition .

    Devaka Wednesday, 08 August 2012 07:53 AM

    Good work! Let's hope that this dictatorial act of denying elections for 6 years is thrown out like the leader himself.

    Anil Wednesday, 08 August 2012 07:59 AM

    This is ridiculous if the Courts are going to interfere in everything. Next time they will be summoning Company directors to explain why certain board decisions are taken.
