Founders of Latima House themselves denounce impeachment motion : Slap in the face of politicos who talked of Latima statement idly

(Lanka-e-News -21.Nov.2012, 11.55PM) Three main organizations forming the backbone of the Commonwealth have expressed their bitter resentment in respect of the impeachment motion that was tabled in Parliament against the Chief justice of SL , Dr. Shiranee Bandaranayake. These are the three Organizations which were responsible for the launching of the Latima House which has been the theme of much conversation during these days. The Associations of Magistrates and Judges , Lawyers and the legal monitoring of the Commonwealth had today issued this joint statement . It is most significant to note that they have roundly deplored and denounced the SL Parliamentary action. This motion brought against Dr. Shiranee Bandaranayake which impacts on the responsibilities and balanced relationship of all three State divisions must be resolved by a free and just panel of judges with absolute security . This must be made an indispensable condition , they have emphasized. When seen in the above context and condition , it is very obvious and most clear that the select Committee appointed by the SL Parliament does not even in the least conform to the requirements or expected standards, and cannot be said as just and free by any stretch of imagination when in that panel is , Rajitha Senaratne who was convicted and punished by a court and Wimal Weerawansa the notorious foul mouthed moron whose educational attainment is limited to grade nine and who had been openly and vacuously castigating the chief justice . Even the chief whip of the Govt. Nimal Siripala De Silva too who had been in the news for the most nefarious reasons is also similarly unsuitable to be in the panel , to deliver a right and proper judgment, singularly or collectively . In addition, even a blind person will admit the ratio of 7: 4 in the panel in Govt.’s favor is also absolutely unfair .At least now , it is hoped that the opposition leaders who were carrying the Latima statement on their shoulders sleepily and blabbering about it to idle away their time will open their eyes , after the Organizations which originated it had themselves clearly enunciated their stand and bitterly resented the Parliament Committee, the legal circles say. The joint statement of the three Organizations is given hereunder :
