    Probably the first instance in the world a justice minister seeking justice to safeguard a position that he illegally acquired and tasted justice immaculately being served. Can happen only in Sri Lanka

    Prof. T.M. Dharmalingam Wednesday, 08 May 2024 10:04 AM

    Yes, true .... he is the first Justice Minister seeking justice to safeguard his position which he illegally took over. Now this fellow has no place to sit in the Parliament. What a shame.... the entire world is laughing at him. Sirisena is hiding now.

    Unbelievable Tuesday, 07 May 2024 05:42 PM

    Justice Minister LOSING a very Personal case. Who knows the Law better in Sri Lanka? The Judge or the Justice Minister who is a Senior Lawyer?

    serves him right - trying to chew more than what he can swallow

    Senthupalan Gontanam Tuesday, 07 May 2024 05:50 PM

    Now Gon Dasa can join Balu Nakutu Nari Patiya headed by an un wanted refused man! Then Gon Dasa will be a minister forever!!

    Jayantha Tuesday, 07 May 2024 06:08 PM

    Lol. Another joker. I think these things are more than enough for slpp to sack him from mp post. Next in line from colombo district should try to get in by kicking this frog out.

    Rip Winkle Tuesday, 07 May 2024 07:07 PM

    Get used to getting dismissed, mate.

    Wera Tuesday, 07 May 2024 07:09 PM

    Don't tarnish your legacy Minister of justice. Besides what kind of madness makes you think you can win by running as the SLFP candidate. Sirisena leads a faction of a splintered party. Not a snow balls chance in hell of winning.

    ravin Tuesday, 07 May 2024 07:26 PM

    We would like to get more comprehensive repot please. Manipulator. Over to you Mr. President kick ... ... please.

    gunadasa kaggoda Tuesday, 07 May 2024 09:05 PM

    Deal Dasa also became Gon Dasa and Booru Dasa. Unlimited Greed.

    Mithun Tuesday, 07 May 2024 09:24 PM

    This is the plan of Ranil Rajapakshas to prevent AKD in to power. Too many candidates will be field to make 50% issue. This is also one of the drama. But AKD's victory is inevitable.

    Limited knowledge of two bankrupt politicians Tuesday, 07 May 2024 10:33 PM

    Sirisena is like an illegal immigrant in the SLFP. Sirisena himself does not have a status quo in the party, and he wants to make a fool of the Courts and Election Commissioner. So Sirisena nominates Wijedasa as the candidate of SLFP who has kicked him out. May be this is the limit of knowledge for both of them.

    The judges should be sacked immediately.

    Sambo Wednesday, 08 May 2024 07:57 AM

    You all are so greedy and selfish for power and money that has brought this downfall upon your selves.

    mnsmart Wednesday, 08 May 2024 08:17 AM

    How can he be the Justice Minster when he doesn't know the Law?

    Ven Kottawa Dharmakeerthi Thero Wednesday, 08 May 2024 10:43 AM

    Now the chapter of Wijedasa Rajapakshe is closed. How can he wear full suit and come out. Illegally he grabbed power and now put in a corner. Who will hereafter care for him as Minister. Get lost man before people spit on you.
