Weerawansa throws charge sheet served on him by the special presidential Commission to the ground !


LEN logo(Lanka-e-News -06.Nov.2016, 8.40 PM)    When the indictment sheet was served by the Special Presidential Commission  on former minister of housing Wimal Weerawansa based on charges filed against him in respect of a fraud of a whopping Rs. 7,700,000,00 committed through  distributing houses and shops to his relatives  , the ex minister had disdainfully thrown the charge sheet to  the ground which is tantamount to committing contempt of court.

This most odious incident involving a present  responsible member  of parliament who should set an example in lawful behavior to the citizens took place on the 4 th. The presidential commission possessed of powers of the courts issued notice on him to appear before the commission yesterday , and when the charge sheet was handed over to him  , Weerawansa threw the charge sheet to the ground unnoticed by the judges in front of him.
This is an action that deserves punishment based on charges of committing grave contempt of court ,however since  the judges did not notice this , it had been  suppressed.
 
Following this reprehensible action of Weerawansa, when the charges were read out to him  who is the accused, he was dumbfounded and his lips went evidently dry. He was so unnerved and distraught that he had called for drinking water twice. The judges had also to explain to him the punishment in store for him if he is found guilty
The trial is to be continued
