Protest in parliament
.jpg)
Parliament was adjourned for five minutes today when opposition members including the JVP and UNP staged a protest in the well of the House over the court martial decision on Sarath Fonseka.
The first court martial found Fonseka guilty of involvement in political work while in active service and was sentenced to a dishonorable discharge.
President Mahinda Rajapakse had on Saturday given the authorization for the first court martial sentence. (YP)

Betrayal? Don't you think this was cooked up by the Govt. Looking at the economy of the country, you will see that the public is getting betrayed day by day.

Mr. Fonseka or just plain Fonseka, he will still be remembered for the great feat of defeating the LTTE terrorists. Nobody can take that away from him - jail or no jail.

General SF is a great hero in nature, removing his star is not going to bring him down to zero. He will fight back and win the game at the end. We salute GSF.

Nothing can erase the success of General Fonsenka, whether one likes him or not. How clever of the three Generals in the Court Martial to 'discharge' the General from the Army, particularly as he is out of the Army all ready. More importantly though is, the fact, that if the General has been discharged by the Army then I doubt the legality of a Military Tribunal 'trying' a discharged person as General Fonsenka is now a Civilian, especially as the President has also concurred with the Court Martial's questionable decision. Don't worry General,'what goes around, comes around'.
