CJ makes backdoor exit

When Chief Justice Dr. Shirani Bandaranayake left the Supreme Court Complex to attend the PSC yesterday a small group of persons including the chiefs of several NGOs had gathered outside the Court Complex to express their solidarity with her.

They were, however, far outnumbered by a vast crowd which conducted a protest on the road outside against the judiciary trying to impede the legislature which represented the power of the people.

It is reported that the Chief Justice left the Court Complex secretly through a back door to avoid the protesting public. The placard carrying protestors shouted slogans demanding that she respect the legislature instead of challenging it and not to side with the conspirators who are out to disrupt the PSC proceedings.
