Pro Rajapakse slaves get a foretaste of things to come : behind bars for 2 hours – Lokuge faints

(Lanka-e-News- 09.May.2015, 5.00PM) ‘The laws of the country and court orders cannot be allowed to be disdained or violated by anyone ‘ said the chief magistrate of Colombo Gihan Pilapitiya while ordering the police to immediately arrest and produce before court all the monks, parliamentary and provincial council  (PC) representatives who defied the law and courts. The chief magistrate also expressed his bitter disappointment  over the failure of the police to discharge their duties duly.

The judge made these adverse comments when the suspects involved in the protests staged on April 23  rd in front of the Birbery and corruption commission defying even a court injunction, were produced in court yesterday (08)

27 UPFA MPs including Dallas Alahaperuma, Bandula Gunawardena, Gamini Lokuge, Janaka Priyantha Bandara ,Sarath Weerasekera , Roshan Ranasinghe , Jayantha Kethagoda, Uditha Lokubandara ,Weerakumara Dissanayake and S.M .Chandrasena were produced before court and released on bail.
The chief magistrate who did not wish to insult Buddhism though the monks by misbehaving did not show that concern for their religion ,permitted the robed monks to be seated on a bench . However the shameless political goons , the ex ministers , MPs and PC members   who committed the criminal offence were put behind bars for about two hours until the bail conditions were fulfilled  and they were  released .

These suspects finally left the courts after spending two hours behind bars within the court . Those who witnessed this disgraceful spectacle said , these politicos are getting a foretaste of much worse punishment  they deserve and  are in store for them.

The suspects had to face delays when being released  because the keys of the prison cage within the court was misplaced.  Gamini Lokuge reportedly had fainted within the cage. 

The chief magistrate said , it is a matter for deep regret that the suspect Priyantha Janaka Bandara who was serving as a magistrate  in court being seen in the dock as an accused . Janaka Bandara was an erstwhile magistrate who  was dismissed from the post based on irregularities committed by him .

The chief magistrate questioned the indicted monks , to what extent reciting pirith across  the main road  hindering the movements of the public is in accord with the Buddhist tenets and precepts ? while revealing to them that he is a Buddhist himself .
