Mr. Silva, it is on record that you have said that East and North should be merged again but while you were Chief Justice the judgement was given to demerge these two provinces- what have you got to say about this? You are famous for many controversies and I don't have much regard for what you say. Your flare for the fair sex also well known to everybody. It is better you don't involve in advising the General.

If it is so it will be a grate thing for all of us. Actually if SF act as the president he should correct all the areas with out any delays. We all know that MR was a grate leader to guide the war but on the other hand we feel from MR's government there were very unneccesary things doen by the ministers. So first thing you should guid SF to correct all those things.

Beware!

His former Lordship the former Chief Justice, the learned Sarath Silva was instrumental in introducing the "Oldest Profession" to our legislature. Thanks to his dubious unconstitutional judgement we have today "Whores on Parade" parading the corridors of the legislature selling themselves for anything and everything. His former Lordship is no "Prophet of Democracy".

.In the post 1948 history of the island, the most abused and mistreated in SL are the young persons and the Tamils, is an absolute truth. They were never secure under any government of SL.

About 60 years ago, it was a joy and a privilege for a Sinhalese to meet a Tamil and for a Tamil to meet a Sinhalese. They showed respect, love, care and compasiion. But how did the Sinhalese become toxic to the Tamils?

The "Buddhist" priests and the Sinhala politicos, deliberately misinterpreted the simple idea of peaceful co-existence and separate development of North East(NE) as outright and dangerous separation.

With the intent to abuse the good concept of Federalism to death, they started a campaign of anti-Tamilism; an angry Sinhala attitude that rose against anything that Tamils were and Tamils had.

This shows his partiliaty in mind .... A chief justice should have not taken politics or favour a candidate ..... The only profession in the world where we can not take them to court on negiligence . In India now all the judges should declare their properties and welath

Hon. Sir, Why not you be the PM, the country needs your type of good practising buddists to be the governers of the nation.

A retired Army person is trying to be the president...A retired CJ trying to be the PM. A retired party leader (even though he is not retired he is supposed to be retired; after loosing so many elections) tries to win the next general election…….

SF's camp is going to mess up the legislature in the Country. How can Sarath N Silva be the preiminister? without the sanction of the people.

What do you mean by support role?
Advisor or washing dirty linen for Fonseka?
UNP + JVP jointly tried to impeach Sarath Nanda Silva for in parliament for his misconduct during public life.
It was president Kumaranatunge who used her powers outside parliament to save this person.
I think it would be better for country for Sarathnanda Silva to keep away from trying to support others. No thank please!
Sarath Fonseka too will get into trouble if he gets the support of this person.

If the former Chief Justice had these aspirations when he was in office, his decisions may have been biased and should be suspect. I am thinking of the LMS/JKH affair and the refusal of bail to Ceylinco Chairman.
