I DON’T THINK JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED UNLESS THROUGH A COURT OF THE PEOPLE, SAYS ANOMA FONSEKA
January 26, 2011: Anoma Fonseka, wife of Sarath Fonseka says that she does not think justice would be meted out unless through a court of the people.
Mrs. Fonseka expressed this view at a media briefing convened by the Democratic National Alliance (DNA) today.
“It has been one year since the presidential election. There were many incidents during the course of the year.
“It was my husband General Fonseka who was most affected by them. Not only our people, the people of the entire world realise this. I know that.
“I don’t think that justice will be served unless through a court of the people,” said Mrs. Fonseka.
Parliamentarian Anura Kumara Dissanayake said that a determination has been delivered on one aspect of the case, but the case regarding his parliamentary seat was still being heard.
“The Supreme Court delivered one of the most fascinating judgments in the history of this country. We filed that case on the basis that a court martial is not included in the courts system and thus it is wrong to remove him from the parliamentary seat.
“But there was another point we included in the case. That was that if the court martial was in fact part of the courts system, and if the actions of the court martial were not fair or just, it was wrong to remove his parliamentary seat.
“Based on that the case is still being examined regarding the removal of his parliamentary seat,” said Dissanayake.
DNA parliamentarian Tiran Alles said that the Supreme Court had not determined that the court martial decision was right.
“The determination of the Supreme Court does not say that the decision of the court martial is right. It only says that the court martial is in fact a court. But the Supreme Court has never said that the decision of the court martial was right,” said Tiran Alles, Deputy Chairman of the DNA.

Anoma, The people’s court delivered its verdict a
Anoma, the people’ court has already delivered its verdict a year ago when SF was roundly defeated in the Presidential election, despite the financial backing of USA, Britain and the diaspora LTTE.
He was court martialled fairly and sentenced fairly, something he had not done for hundreds of soldiers who opposed his immorality and corrupt behaviour. He imprisoned them on trumped-up charges until Hon President intervened and had them released.
SF is a ruthless thug, a brutal dictator like VP. They are birds of the same feather, a Sinhalese nationalist. He is totally ungrateful. Instead of being grateful he tried to bite the hand that fed him. He was brainwashed by the JVP with their political tripe, and massaged his ego with the notion that he could win the Presidential election as he was a ‘war hero’. He is no war hero. The real war heroes are the poor soldiers in the front lines endured severe hardships in fighting the War of Liberation to save our nation and vanquish the LTTE utterly, who sacrificed their lives and limbs, while SF was safely enjoying a life of luxury in Colombo. He and his kith and kin even went on a luxury holiday to China in the final days of the War of Liberation. He even secretly ordered 3 ship loads of heavy and light weapons, withour approval of the Defence Minister and the President, as he had planned a coup d’etat to win power for himself if he lost the Presidential election. The disapora LTTE, Britain and USA backed the wrong horse and they too lost the race, thank God, when the people’s court gave its verdict and elected the true war hero, Hon Mahinda Rajapaksa.
So Anoma, stop your crocodile tears! You make me sick! Don’t forget it was MR who funded your 2 daughters’ education in the USA, which he regrets, as SF proved to be an ingrate.
The people’s court has one more verdict.
HANG THE BASTARD!
ND as srikankan we are very worryed about your unsolicited comm. but remember God verdict will be some thing els .let God to verify waite and see.
we can do nothing rather than curse u. and your family
be carefull.
NB. ONLAKA ADD.WE KNOW THAT TO WHOME YOU ARE LOYALTY.
Sameer, your loyalty is with the traitor SF and the devious, murderous JVP who brainwashed the fool and used him to try to gain power by the back door.
SF was found guilty by Court Martial of gross contravention of army regulations, on several counts. He was sentenced properly after a fair trial. This is not revenge. If a criminal commits a crime and is found guilty by court after a fair trial he has to serve the sentence imposed by the court. It is not revenge. If there is no law and order, there will be chaos in the country, anarchy. That is what the JVP wants to create in SL to capture power.
SF has yet to be found guilty of spreading false rumours of the ‘white flag incident’ which never happened. It was disinformation of diaspora LTTE through a bogus journalist who worked for them, to bring discredit to Hon Defence Minister. SF wanted to take revenge from the Defence Minister for sacking him from his job as Army Commander. The court will find SF guilty of spreading untruth, and sentenced. SF was corrupted with money bags from the diaspora LTTE and imperial West. The nation passed their verdict already when his election bids failed miserably. He then tried to stage a coup d’etat to topple the Govt of MR and massacre his family and celebrities who supported MR. This case will also be heared in court. He will be found guilty and sentenced to death for treason.
I have every right to comment as you do. Any citizen who reads this column has a right to comment also. But I do not curse people for holding opposite views. We must learn to tolerate people. It is the extremists like JVP, LTTE, TNA and diaspora LTTE, and yourself, who cannot tolerate. They seek to kill people who hold opposite views and curse people. They break coconuts in Hindu kovils to curse people. Jesus said, “Do not curse. Anyone who curses, it will be on his own head and on the heads of his family, the curses will fall”.
Sameer,
Please do not give in to ND. He wants everyone in the whole wide world to suck his rusty balls.

I know you are very stupid, so wont tell you much. Do you approve the current status of Karuna and pilliarran who killed thousands of people in cold blood to enjoy this comforts . ND people like you only forget the past for mere benefits. If you are a true Sri Lankan ,please answer my question.
Wimalasiri,
You are a right thinking person. Well done. I support you. All this bulls*** about the war and terrorists. Many became billionnaires and the peasants are paying for it with their blood and their youth. There are some going on private visits with 20 people on public money. The villagers pay Rs 100 for an onion.
DC is obviously a diaspora LTTE, and Wimalisiri is no doubt sucking-up to JVP disinformation.
Karuna and Pillayan were one time LTTE leaders who carried out the commands of the psychopath VP, just as the Nazi commanders had to carry out the brutal orders of the psychopath Hitler. In war, if you do not carry out orders, you will be shot for disobedience. VP brutally tortured and killed his own cousin and second-in-command, Mahathaya, all because he suspected him of spying for RAW. Along with Mahathaya were killed about 300 cadres who were loyal to him. Such was the brutality of VP! Unfortunately, Karuna and Pillayan were brain washed like all the other LTTE cadres with Tamil nationalism and autonomy, when they joined the LTTE as youths. They believed the nonsense till Karuna and Pillayan eventually came to their senses, after much bloodshed, when they realised their leader is a psychopath like Hitler, a blood-thirsty killing machine with no political prowess and ability to govern except through the gun. They realised they were going nowhere. A good part of their lives had been wasted on a useless terrorist path of destruction and killing. They felt sorry for the Tamil SL citizens as they suffered the most, from chasing after the dream of the psychopath VP and the Tamil nationalism myth for less then 4 million Tamils in SL, who just wanted to lead peaceful contented lives than chasing after another man’s unrealizable dream.
Thousands of surrendered LTTE cadres have been re-habilitated, opportunity given for higher education for the brighter young men, while others were taught trades and an opportunity to even be self-employed, to be useful citizens of SL, to lead fulfilled peaceful family lives. This is the right action.
Pillayan and Karuna were instrumental in the downfall of the LTTE when they left the terrorist LTTE and joined government ranks to fight the LTTE. They supplied vital information or intelligence on how to defeat the LTTE. They are therefore partners in the defeat of the LTTE and deserved to be rewarded. Pillayan was elected CM in the Eastern Province while Karuna joined the SLFP. He was appointed Deputy Minister in re-settlement of the IDPs. This is just and proper. We have as a Buddhist nation shown maithriya and forgiveness to one time foe, just as Lord Buddha has taught us. As true disciples of Lord Buddha we cannot move-on unless we show this maithriya and forgiveness on the path to reconcilliation, to be ONE NATION in a pluralist society.
Ofcourse, this a policy the likes of DC and Wimalisiri do not understand or want to hear. They want chaos and anarchy, racial hatred and intolerance to continue, so that the diaspora LTTE and the JVP may rise again to try to seize power through renewed conflict.
WE WILL NEVER ALLOW THIS. ALL RIGHT THINKING CITIZENS OF SL, WHATEVER THEIR CREED, COLOUR AND RACE WILL FIGHT FOR PEACE, TOLERANCE AND SOVEREIGNTY OF THE NATION.
