S.B. Released

SB is out. What will be his next move? Join with Mahinda or Ranil or start attacking CBK for putting him in jail. Well.. I do not think it is fair what CBK did. In strict legal terms, yes it is. But we are living in this century.. are we? Go to a political meeting and see how many people insult each other, violate laws of this country.
Look at the way LTTE break the law. Is our constitution allows one bunch of people to control the people in one area? What did CBK, Ranil and Mahinda so far did to protect the people who go through this LTTE nightmare? High courts put SB Jail for just making a statement in a meeting. Then what about the LTTE so called leaders? On what basis our High Court allows them to check in and out by using Sri Lankan passports and accommodate them to talks? If this is the way we treat LTTE people then we should also accommodate our big big “Aiyala” like podi saman, loku saman, kalu aiya, sudu aiya and all other murderers for a talk in Geneva. SB must be having lot of friends in prison. He can fight for them and ask the govt to take all knd of “Aiyala” for a talk in Geneva. Fight SB. You are the man.
