Ignoring a Supreme Court decision is one of the worst precedents given in a democratic society. What example Kurakkan uncle sets to masses by ignoring the decisions of the highest court of the land? Does he, a lawyer by himself, imply that the government can do whatever it likes ignoring the law of the land? Or is he trying to imitate Prabhakaran by humiliating the judiciary?
It is even sadder that state media, especially Rupavahini and ITN, are used to project Chief Justice as a conspirator. We saw yesterday at least two senior ministers, including the Prime Minster himself taking pot shots at the judiciary. This will lead nowhere but anarchy. Government needs to listen to the wisdom of the judiciary.
At least he could have learnt from the mistakes of his dear friend Musharraf, but learning is not easy for Kurakkan uncle. The corridor he takes now leads to the same door Musharraf made his exit unceremoniously and dejected. Sadly he will make Sri Lanka another Pakistan before doing so. We had first indication yesterday. Stock market nearly crashed. Looks like the economy is going to hit us long before anybody steps into Killinochchi.
Do we, as a nation, have any hope when our elected leaders act in this stupid manner?
