“Nothing’s ever gone too far. Anything can be reversed; these are human decisions.”Colombo, Sri Lanka.
– Noam Chomsky (An interview with the Al Jazeera- Jan 12 )
President Rajapaksa does what he wishes to do. Nothing to be surprised of, that is who he is. He impeached the Chief Justice saying that the law was so dear to him and that he was a humble follower of the law in this respectful country. Accordingly, he says that he followed the procedure as per the constitution. Now he has installed another subject to the forcibly vacated seat which we call the seat of the “Chief Justice”. One of his brothers who is also a key player of this panoply of nepotism of the barbaric raj claimed this as an aspect of “check and balance”. But as happened in many other cases, he misused the power obtained through the constitution, yet again. This is likely to be repeated by him to get rid of political obstacles he would face in the future as well. How can you predict the strength of a building which appears to be beautiful and strong but is structurally outworn, unless you see the inside? You will never comprehend through your bird’s eye view how the power beast misused by the present ruling family cleared the way for the Chinese to make roads and wetland parks throughout the country.
