AI SUMMARY GENERATED ONLY FROM THIS ARTICLE'S TEXT.
Public Relations and Public Affairs Minister Mervyn Silva at a news conference on Friday referred to certain Appeal Court Judges in the bench that announced the Supreme Court determination in a derogatory manner and charged that the decision given by the Court could not be accepted as an unbiased judgment.
Minister Silva’s remarks, which are on record, have been withheld by the Daily Mirror online from telecasting because of its derogatory nature that could be construed as contemptuous.
He said there was no conflict between the Judiciary and the Legislature. He noted that the Diaspora was attempting to create chaos in the country by using the Impeachment motion against the Chief Justice.
Minister Silva said nobody should comment on appointing an acting chief justice because it was matter within the purview of the President. (Sarasi Paranamanna)

That's Mervin Selvam the jester. What is more shameful is that the clergy has stooped to his level.

How can a committed law breaker comment on the Law! He can get away with anything with the blessings of his godfather.

In a movie, when there is no strong story, the director uses stunt men and jokers to entertain the audience for 2 hours. This and some others are just such jokers, and there are others who sit by the side to laugh and applaud..

The Buddhist monks here should not be laughing but holding their head in shame. Haven't they got more important work in their temples than be involved in politricks.

I hope and pray that people seeing this will never ever respect the 3 Buddhist monks seated along with this animal. They are businessmen and not carriers of Buddhas message.

Jonah Saturday, 05 January 2013 06:25 AM
Sara, you are right. What are the prelates doing there. Knowing the type of drug peddlar and kassipu king that he is, they should not be seen laughing at his dry jokes. It is sad that our prelates are stooping low for political mileage
