Mahinda Rajapaksa is a thoughtful and visionary leader. Mahinda Rajapaksa has been drawn into the CJ impeachment morass by cunning RW and Mangala.
Mahinda Rajapaksa has decided to independently verify the findings of the PSC by an expert panel.
Excellent, such care for the constitution of our land and for care of reputation as a nation is a rare quality.
The independent panel should be made up from the legal fraternity supportive of Mahinda Chinthana. With Mahinda Rajapaksa, the ultimate democrat, the decision of the legal panel will be binding.
MR is following good procedure to be seen in the international forum as being truly democratic and just. Where as CJ has been shown to be very corrupt just on 3 out of the five charges. The other charges could not be taken up as the Opposition Party withdrew its members in the PSC to disrupt proceedings. This is contempt of court.
