I don’t think so. Unless as an independent. Can’t understand how these people can just jump into an organisation/ party and just blend in and take over a senior post. Can it be done in a private organisation? Imagine the chaos these guys will create if elected to government!

I thought this guy would be a well aware lawyer to know about the loop hole of the laws that could be challenged by others. I disappointed.

The Uncredible Deal Dasa, what a shame as a minister of Justice does not know,or doesn't care about the law of the land,it shows his Greed for power and may be thinking he is above the law. The Judiciary it is over to you.

Does he know the law being a PC for many years and also the minister of justice. All are thrust of power. If this is the way SL wants to move forward, become a joke.

When an enjoining order was already in place given by a District Court, it is a novel idea to seek a different order from a different District court. This novel idea got defeated in the DC that first issued the order. I wonder if Kaduwela DJ was misled by the learned Counsel

Most Rajapak are no good Tuesday, 21 May 2024 12:44 PM

He is just another unrelated to other Rajapak* Rajapak. There is no man or woman whose family name begins Rajapak in the parliament who is a decent human being. All are corrupt, crooks.
