Wednesday 11 of January 2012 (Lanka-e-News -12.Jan.2012, 7.00AM) Following the ‘drama’ enacted in courts at the oath taking ceremony of Namal Rajapakse M P who had earned a name for the first time in Sri Lanka (SL) as the synthetically qualified Lawyer under the ‘laws’ , he had gone to meet the former chief justice (CJ) Sarath N Silva. But according to reports reaching Lanka e news , the former CJ had declined to meet the first SL synthetic Lawyer.
It is learnt that during their young days , Sarath Silva and MaRa had been bosom friends. In fact MaRa had gone with Sarath Silva on the first occasion to see Shiranthi, MaRa’s prospective bride at that time and to whom he is married now . Moreover , it was Sarath Silva who had taught ‘first alphabets’ based on tradition to the then young Namal Rajapakse , who has now emerged as the first ‘synthetic’ Lawyer of SL.
Interestingly , Sarath Silva is now one of the victims of the witch-hunt of MaRa because he extended support openly to Gen. Sarath Fonseka . Indeed , a petition signed by a group of MPs against Sarath Silva has been presented already to the Speaker of Parliament , the brother of MaRa .
Although Namal Rajapakse, the first synthetic Lawyer , after taking oaths tried to meet Sarath Silva who taught him custom based ‘first alphabets’, it is significant to note that this same ‘double faced’ Namal who signed the petition before Parliament against Sarath Silva.
The genetic experts have still not been able to fully confirm that the habit of a father of biting the hand that fed him being genetically transmitted to his son , legitimate or otherwise…, although this habit is very common among such fathers, and it passing down to the sons.
