MaRa regime flagrantly and shamelessly violates constitution : country in dire peril
(Lanka-e-News-05.Jan.2013, 11.00PM) In spite of the supreme court (SC) delivering a verdict that the impeachment motion inquiry shall be so formulated that it does not conflict with the constitution and natural justice ; and the impeachment inquiry that was conducted was in violation of the constitution , the MaRa regime had trampled the SC verdict most viciously and unlawfully . That is , the Govt. had decided to debate the wrongful decision of the illegal Select Committee when the Parliament resumes sittings on the 8th , based on information passed by the inside sources of the Govt.

This is a very clear and brazen violation of the constitution by the Rajapakse regime. According to the laws of the country if a Govt. is acting in violation of the sacrosanct constitution , such a Govt. has no right legally to be in power. It is to be noted that if the constitution is transgressed even the immunity enjoyed by the President ceases to be valid. He is entitled to the immunity only as long as he abides by the constitution. Yet , since the security division power in the implementation of the SC decision is in the hands of the regime , using this power via the Forces and the security , it is readying to conduct itself most unlawfully and despotically. After fetching large crowds to Colombo on the 8th it is planning to demonstrate unlawfully that the people are with the transgressors of the constitution.
This repugnant and abominable plan of the regime while it can potentially plunge the country into anarchy, is also without any trace of doubt paving the way for the regime to take decisions dictatorially without permission of the UN Organization ,other Organizations and their rulers . 

At the initial stage of this impeachment motion , the SC which acted with responsibility made a request to postpone the impeachment process until this petition is heard and finished by it to avert a conflict between the Judiciary and the legislature. But the regime stubbornly and brutally ignored this request , and by resorting to a ‘fast forward’ mode deliberately created circumstances conducive to this obnoxious and uncalled for conflict. That is by violating the constitution absolutely and purposefully. Under section 125 (1) and (2) of the constitution , the Parliament is obliged to wait until the SC delivers a judgment based on its findings in regard to the interpretation of the constitution. In the circumstances the ruling regime had even now violated the constitution 
The Govt . is now desperately seeking to make a ‘grand public show’ that it has the support of the people for it to violate the constitution . In this situation it is for the common opposition to demonstrate that truly the people are against this ‘ boru show’ of the Govt. 

The main opposition cannot run away from this responsibility when the country and the people are in dire peril in the face of this imminent dictatorship. By releasing communiqués and idly watching it cannot stop ‘ Hitler and his men’ who are marching forward devastatingly . May the opposition be warned that posterity will not only curse ‘Hitler and his men’ , but also the opposition for not discharging its duty towards the people as its elected representatives owing to its impotency , lethargy and incapacity to halt the demons and dictators before it is too late.
