Mr Jayampathy Wickremaratne\u2019s reputation as a President Counsel is now in tatters.\u00a0 He sneaked through the legislation process, by passing Supreme Court decisions, during the late mid night hours of 19th<\/sup> Amendment.\u00a0 He drafted Regulations approved at the Committee Stage during nights, to include the provisions Supreme Court did not give consent.\u00a0\u00a0 In doing do, Mr Jayampathy Wickremaratne\u2019s shot himself in the foot. Sinhala version of the Amendments differs with the English contents as already clarified clearly by Mr Gammanpila.\u00a0 In such a situation, the Sinhala version is legally enforceable, as it supersede the \u00a0English wordings.<\/p>\n

CARD 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Frustrated and almost made him look like a fool for 3 years, the President Sirisena must be awarded the Best Actor prize for 2018\u00a0<\/strong>This mentally and physically exhausted man pulled his first Card in the Pack, sent Clayton Prime Minister Mr Wickremasinghe into doldrums. Extremists Tamils, Muslims and disgruntled few leftists in the JVP are now regularly checking their heart beat levels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

CARD 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The President simultaneously\u00a0 installed Mr Mahinda Rajapakse as the \u00a0Second Executive Prime Minister of Sri Lanka.\u00a0\u00a0 The group in exile petitioned to the Supreme Court against the appointment.\u00a0\u00a0 The application was rejected.\u00a0 .<\/strong><\/p>\n

The President\u00a0 had suffered mentally and physically, the photos of President before October 26\u00a0 and today, clearly display sadness vs. happiness on his face.\u00a0 Mr Mahinda Rajapakse saved his life and he should be indebted to our great leader going forward.<\/strong><\/p>\n

CARD 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gazetted to recall the Parliament on 14th<\/sup>.\u00a0 Byuing time, in the process managed to get several minor parties and UNP few members to cross over, with\u00a0 announcements that working majority has been established. The genuine desire of the new Cabinet Ministers of minor is still to be tested.\u00a0 In the meantime, Mr Mahinda Rajapakse is doing what he does best, just to according to your plan.\u00a0 He is now a member of SLPP.<\/p>\n

CARD 4:<\/strong><\/p>\n

At a meeting with the former Speaker Karu, President instructed the Speaker to make all arrangements to make necessary seating arrangements to the newly crowned PM.\u00a0 Speaker Agreed.\u00a0 Parliament staff obeyed both President\u2019s\u00a0 and former Speaker\u201ds orders.<\/p>\n

Karu took a U turn, as he\u00a0 was blasted by expelled PM Ranil. Karu issued a statement indirectly recognizing the expelled PM.<\/p>\n

CARD 5:<\/strong><\/p>\n

President immediately dissolved, with the strongest advise from the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

CARD 6:<\/strong><\/p>\n

What if in the most unlikely event the Supreme Court determine the dissolution of Parliament as null and void?<\/p>\n

The President can call for a Referendum to be held within 36 days, to ratify the legality of dissolution and seek a mandate to hold the General Election.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
