(Lanka-e-News -29.Nov.2016, 5.20PM) Judge Ayesha Abdeen was sent on compulsory leave because of the exposures made by Lanka e news , and therefore the action of LeN is not wrong Besides simply because they are judges they are not infallible , and not deities, said Ranjan Ramanayake the deputy minister of social empowerment and welfare while also exhorting he is fearlessly siding with LeN.
During a special interview with the deputy minister pertaining to the political and judicial actions taken against LeN and its chief editor , Ranjan Ramanayake made the aforementioned salutary and fearless comments. Hereinafter are several of the views he expressed….
‘I absolutely frown upon the charges that are mounted against the LeN website and its chief editor Sandaruwan Senadheera. LeN is a news website which made an invaluable contribution towards the victory of the government of good governance.
It is Lanka e news which reported about judge Ayesha Abdeen that she went and met a notorious criminal who is in the death row in violation of the laws and overstepping her official powers, while all the other media feared to expose . It is that caliber of cowardly media culture that is now in Sri Lanka. If LeN has not taken that bold step and written that , no Sri Lankan would have known it. Thanks to LeN , the Judicial service Commission (JSC) is now investigating into it after sending the erring judge on compulsory leave. Is LeN ‘s action wrongful ?
Judges are not gods and goddesses. If they commit a wrong they should also face punishment. Judges like Sarath N Silva and Sarath N. Abrew do not deserve our respect. But we deeply respect and revere reputed judges like Sarath Ambepitiya and Padmini N.Ranawake Gunathileke of the new generation whose conduct is adorning the judiciary.
Speaking further the deputy minister went on to comment as follows :
‘We are informed , a media chain owner is behind these moves and maneuvers, and he is deploying his financial resources too wrongly in this direction. Sri Lankans are not fools. Let us see what ‘s going to happen.
These blokes who cannot issue a red warrant against Udayanga Weeratunge ; who cannot deliver verdicts against websites that are mudslinging throughout the 24 fours of the day , are issuing an order to apprehend Sandaruwan in a jiffy.
Moreover , what Wijedasa Rajapakse uttered in the past do not represent the views of the good governance government . He made racism related statements , and spoke in favor of Gotabaya to rescue him . These are not the views of our government.
We are on alert. This is a government that was installed in power overcoming almost insurmountable obstacles and after great effort. We cannot allow such a government to topple. Though Rajapkses were defeated , their apparitions are still lurking among the sleazy characters. Fearlessly write Ranajan Ramanayake is steadfastly with Lanka e news on this issue . I shall speak in this regard even in parliament.
