The basic principle to understand is that Judges are not saints who are exonerated from committing foul play. Need to investigate on what legal basis the Magistrate has ordered the police to shoot at the unarmed protesters. The incident is covered up with full of fishy nooks which need to be further envisaged. It is obvious that the BASL has become a victim of International Pressure.

The police and the IGP should be commended for the most intelligent manner in which they had handled the situation in Mannar. If the police would have opened fire, as ordered by the Mannar magistrate, which would have ended in a few people being killed, that would have created an extremely bad image of Sri Lanka and the Government of President Mahinda Rajapaksa, both locally and internationally. Then the “News Headlines” all over the world would have been – “Police brutality against the Tamil Speaking minorities – Security forces shoot at innocent Tamil Speaking Internally Displaced Persons in Mannar who protested seeking for Justice”. The question is – did the magistrate in a rage violate the “Code Of Criminal Procedure Act (No. 15) of 1979″ and also give shooting orders. Was the BASL president part of this conspiracy?
