Sri Lanka’s Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe today launched a scathing attack on the judiciary over yesterday’s judgement suspending the Gazette issued on the Arjuna Ranatunga-led interim committee appointed for Sri Lanka Cricket.
The minister blamed the judgment, stating that it was taken only considering one view and made several serious allegations against the judiciary, including conflict of interest.
The Sports Minister also accused the Attorney General for not supporting the ministry and acting in a way to protect corrupt Cricket officials.
Stating that President Ranil Wickremesinghe has been misled by his close associates, the minister informed the President to choose which side he is on, whether it is Roshan Ranasinghe or SLC President Shammi Silva.
Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe made the remarks while delivering a special statement in Parliament today (Nov 08).
Joining the discussion, Opposition Leader MP Sajith Premadasa proposed that the parliament should adopt a resolution tomorrow it self to send corrupt Sri Lanka officials home.
Meanwhile, a special party leaders meeting has been scheduled for this afternoon with the consent of the ruling party and the opposition to take a collective decision regarding Sri Lanka Cricket. (NewsWire)
