The Presidents , Secretaries and representatives of the SL Bar Association district Organizations held a meeting yesterday at Aluthkade. This meeting was attended by a large number of Lawyers representing the Galle , Matara, Anuradhapura, Kandy , Panadura , Dambulla, and Kurunegala districts . A 90 % attendance was recorded for this meeting aimed at staging a crucial campaign at this moment when the judiciary is being subject to grave danger on an unprecedented scale. Urgent proposals were advanced at this meeting.
Strong objections were raised by a majority against the MaRa Govt. Ministers who are a constant source of threat and intimidation to the judiciary where the Govt. employing thugs and goons is attacking and laying siege to the courts and its precincts while also engaging in maximum efforts to destroy the independence of the judiciary . Proposals were therefore made to stage a continuous or a five day strike . But because of the stupid decision of effeminate sordid Wijedasa Rajapakse , M. P. the SL Bar Association President who swears allegiance to equally or more effeminate Ranil , the proposals met with obstruction.
Wijedasa’s conclusion was , this is not a decision making Organization , and if a decision is to be taken duly , a week’s time must be allowed , and a general meeting of the Association must be convened. The representatives present questioned Wijedasa Rajapakse , how come then the MaRa s puppet Parliament is taking decisions in a day unlawfully ? They therefore argued why should they wait for a week to take decisions against such crude and unlawful actions ? Besides , all the Presidents and Secretaries of the Lawyers’ Associations have arrived there with the consent of the Lawyers of those various districts, they stated. Hence it was their view that all courts except the SC and the appeal court should stage a strike. Ultimately it was decided that a general Bar association meeting be convened on the 15th, Saturday , to arrive at a final decision.At any rate , a majority of Lawyers are in resentment against the backstreet policies and double dealings of the Bar association Secretary Sanjaya Gamage who is holding Director position in several of the MaRa Govt. Institutions , and the effeminate spineless lukewarm attitude of Wijedasa Rajapakse , who is a Ranil’s UNP M.P. The district Associations of the Lawyers have nevertheless decided to hold protests in those courts in the various districts commencing next Tuesday . Incidentally ,the court vacation too is to begin next week.
