If you're so sure, state this outside of the parliament. You can be a hero hiding behind parliament privileges.

So the PM is effectively saying the Supreme Court does not understand the law?

What? Is this person worthy of a Prime Minister? What is the use of courts then? This is unbelievable. Why are then people going to courts?

Isn’t the PM in contempt of court making a public statement like that? Asking as I don’t know…

How can he perform as the IGP when there is a court order. Are your decisions and choices bigger than the supreme court. Probably he covered a lot of you politician's sins.

The Supreme Court Order is most valued and Desabandu Tennakoon has no right to continue as IGP.

Tennakoon cannot function as IGP breaking the Law. Who is Dinesh to stand for this rotter? Then wait and see it's a last chance for Dinesh too.

He said this hiding in parliament. This fellow should be asked to come to SC and ask him about it. So that he will have to tell that again. This is the only way to take such individuals hiding under parliament privileges and send such fellows behind bars. Also sc can arrest and send the badu behind bars if he still functions without listing to sc. The legal team who took this case to sc should keep an eye on badu and these cunning parliamentary members from ruling party. Take them also to court and teach a good lesson.

Hay Dinesh, now we don't have an IGP, appoint a IGP from the Senior DIGs before the election.

How can this crooked Prime Minister claim that a decision of the highest court of Sri Lanka is illegal? This scambag has therefore lost his right to continue as Prime Minister. The request from him to ignore the court decision is a crime and a betrayal of the democratic foundations of Sri Lanka and thus of its people. Shame on you.

If so, why does not tell this with his classmate, outside the parliament without having the parliamentary privileges, by addressing the nation together or a display of that sort?

Wow. Does this mean parliament will not comply with a Supreme Court decision. This will set a dangerous precedent. People please vote wisely to safeguard the protection assured to us from the Judiciary and to ensure the right checks and balances without which we end up with a potential dictatorship.

Is it not contempt of Court?. No need to the ruling party to go to the court, the PM can give judgement.

The system of Law which the world follows was created by White Man. In this system the Judges can simply rule on almost anything and that ruling becomes like “ Gods Will “. We have to completely change this idiotic system but No Political Leader From Any Third World Country Has The Brain Power To Do So. The Third World Desperately Needs A New Generation Of Young Leaders, The White Worshipping Old Guard Must Go.

PM Dinesh is a dead vegetable, and he has no voice. He is trying to protect Tennakoon because of Mahinda's pressure.

Lol. We have a PM who doesn't agree to follow the law in the country. The are the same people who said if certain party come to power they'll go above the law and so what they want. According what's happening it is the ones who are in power seem to refuse the law in the country.

Dinesh is s good for nothing bloke. Unfit to be PM. People should not vote for this guy and other MPs who are old n should stay at home n look after their grand children. He is using the parliament privilege to utter foolish statements. When Pujith ( former IGP) was sent on leave in view of the Esater Sunday bomb blast, the retired IGP wickremaratna was appointed and if that was the case why Deshabandu is allowed to stay on when Supreme Court has issued a judgement against him. Its obvious that Ranil and governing party want him to at a time when the election is due. Its a shame that some of our parliamentarians cannot understand the laws of the country. By adhering to such unlawful tactics Ranil will lose the election.

Hi is not a joker but a gerandiya. I challenge the speaker and the pm to say it at a press conference. The IGP is there for their dirty work hoping they'll have it easy going at the P Elections. The lawyers collective should go to court against the PM and the Speaker.
