SC has to investigate and find out whether there is any merit in the statement made by the deputy minister before charging him for contempt of court.A true democracy can be built only on unbiased judiciary.

JVP 71, 88 and LTTE how many youths killed by Sr Lankan government.What was the reason? Injustice everywhere.What this lawyers are doing ? Postpone cases and take their charges without a receipt. Even bus conductors are giving a ticket. In 2018 Budget , compulsory requirement to provide a receipt by lawyers for every transaction.

One has to agree that the majority of lawyers in this country are corrupt. The second highest percentage of Parliamentarians after the lot who have not even passed the Ordinary level exams are non practicing Lawyers.

Ranjan is correct and very courageous. Just take former CJ with his famous wrong verdict given in the Hambantota case in favour of MR. And there are many more foul eggs in our judiciary. via DM Android App
