President Mahinda Rajapaksa expressing that his government would not allow anyone to interfere with the country’ judiciary, said he was saddened by the fact that such a suspicion has arisen in the judiciary regarding a Cabinet member of the government.

Addressing an event in Gannoruwa today, the President said it was the government’s duty to protect the independency of the judiciary and his government respected that independency to the core. “We cannot run a country without a law. We can’t allow anyone to interfere with the law of the country and we as a government will do everything to protect it and not to destroy it.”

He reminded that when Vivian Gunawardane won the Human Right Case, the house of the judge who had given the judgment in this regard came under attack. “That’s how they protected the democracy then,” the President’s media division said quoting the President.
