JSC Secretary brutally attacked and chopped by an armed group
(Lanka-e-News-07.Oct.2012, 11.30PM) The Secretary of the Judicial service Commission (JSC), Manjula Thilakaratne was attacked this morning at about 8.00 by an armed group and chopped by a sharp weapon in front of S. Thomas’ College , Mt. Lavinia.

The armed group had surrounded the driver of Thilakaratne ,and attacked the latter. Thilakaratne is now hospitalized and has sustained three cut injuries on his body , reports say. The assailants have also wrested the mobile phone of Thilakaratne. Significantly, the regime chief at his monthly meeting with the media chiefs had stated that Thilakaratne is having rape charges , and he is not fit for the post he is holding. It is interesting to note whenever MaRa shows such resentment based on false charges against an individual, that had always been a forerunner to attacks being launched on that individual MaRa targets. So was it in this instance .

The JSC Secretary who issued a counter notice said, ‘I must first of all totally repudiate the false and baseless charges leveled against the JSC and myself as its Secretary. I see this malicious and false mudslinging is the result of a media communiqué issued by me on behalf of the JSC on the 18th of September.
‘I must also emphasize that a dangerous situation has arisen where, those of the higher echelons of the judicial sphere including families of all of us shall be provided with security or our protection’

Subsequently, on the 5th of October, Regime’s MaRa said at Ratnapura , it is not for the judicial executives and constitutional executive to demonstrate the power of each other.

By the fears expressed by the judiciary and the loquacious expressions of MaRa , it is very clear that it is MaRa's JaRa murder gangs which have launched this gory attack.

MaRa seeks glory on gory attacks and murders – Mangala Samaraweera

(Lanka-e-News-07.Oct.2012, 11.30PM) UNP communication unit chief Mangala Samaraweera M .P. said, the attack launched this morning on the Judicial service Commission (JSC) Secretary Manjula Thilakaratne is reminiscent of that on Editor Late Lasantha Wickremetunge who was murdered in cold blood a few years ago by individuals who came in motor cycles in broad daylight before the shocking gaze of so many.

Making a special announcement he told Lanka e news while condemning this ghastly murder , that he regretted MaRa’s murder gang is still in operation, and clearly even more active. It is the requirement of the MaRa regime to uproot the independence of the judiciary and substitute judicial dependence like how all other Institutions have been debased and politicized.

Therefore the time is ripe for all parties irrespective of their different hues and people regardless of race and religious differences to unite . It is now or never , he asserted.
The Govt. is obviously behind the attack on JSC Secretary – Mano Ganeshan
(Lanka-e-News-07.Oct.2012, 11.30PM) Democratic people’s Front leader Mano Ganeshan speaking to Lanka e News said, referring to the ruthless attack launched on Manjula Thilakaratne , the Judicial service Commission (JSC) Secretary , that the entire Colombo population knows including children that it is an assault orchestrated by the Govt.

Mano Ganeshan answering queries raised by Lanka e news on the deplorable and despicable attack launched on the JSC Secretary this morning , went on to say as follows :

This attack was launched on the Secretary because of the communiqué issued by him on the 18th of September. This is positively and indubitably a Govt. sponsored attack. There is none who can launch such an attack in Colombo otherwise than the Govt. My good friend Rauff Hakeem is not only a Lawyer but also a Minister of justice. We expect him at least now to wake up and get alerted. 
As a representative of the Tamil people , I am not surprised by this attack. But I am most certainly disgusted and grieved. Under this Govt. this kind of brutality prevailed freely directed against the Tamil people. Such attacks were launched on Tamil Judges in the north who gave verdicts as well as against Tamil Lawyers .At least now all races must unite against these dastardly activities , he observed.
