In all other civilised parliaments, the accuser resigns or challenge the findings of the committee. Shameless! That is why I always wait for the solid facts before swallowing. STILL NO SIGN OF “EVIDENCE” FROM THE SMALL SILL OF FILES SHOWN TO MEDIA BY AKD GUNDA WITH SO MUCH FANFARE!!
Indra, Agree. If Nimal Siripala de Silva feels he has been victimized based on political agenda from/by whoever, I think he should get the best of the best attorneys in SL and sue them miscreants down to their last Rupee. While it is no secret that much hanky-panky happened during ALL the past regimes and we do have a good crop of corrupt politicos who got stinking rich, we cannot broadbrush all politicos by that accusation without evidence. Sadly, it is true that this unsubstantiated “corruption” charge is now in the hands of well know anti-Sri Lank elements who are determined to bring anarchy and burn SL to the ground and as such we need to be extremely careful what we news-digest today as the extent of vile, anti-SL propaganda is sky high!
