Gnanassara remanded ! ‘Monks’ disciplinary code shall be followed’ –P.M.; no luxury comforts while in remand custody – people insist
(Lanka-e-News-
27.Jan.2015, 1.00PM) Galagodaathe Gnanassara the robed monk who all
along been a very antithesis of a true Buddhist while parading as a
champion of the Buddhist cause and whose brain was not duly functioning
because of his excessive drinking habits and insobriety ,was ordered
by the Homagama magistrate Ranga Abeysinghe Dissanayake to be remanded
until the 9 th of February. Gnanassara was charged on four counts
including :
Taking the law into his hands based on his extreme racist policies,
uncivilized conduct, and committing contempt of court ; and threatening
Sandya Ekneliyagoda who had come to court seeking legal redress .
It is well to recall that despite Gnanassara professing to be a great
Buddhist , he could only poll about 600 votes at the elections which
demonstrates what an abominable and discarded monk he is .
A warrant was issued based on four charges against him, for arrest ,
and yesterday , the Homagama police produced him in court after
arresting Gnanassara. An insignificant group of potty racist monks , and
civilians were trying to create a stir in front of the court without
avail. Although a monk screamed and shouted that he would self immolate
after removing his robe, however he did not match his word with deed
.Another stupid monk by the name of Siri Jinananda , if Gnanassara is
remanded 25 robed monks along with him shall also be remanded, or else
they will they will go to jail by force.He too did not match his heroic
words with deed.Being Gnanassara’s allies , it is only a fool who would
expect better promises or behavior from them. So it was finally all
flatulence and no substance .
4 hours after the courts have concluded , Gnanassara was taken to
Welikade prison. By that time his henchmen and stooges had abandoned
their protests on the court premises. Perhaps after their flatulence
left them they had nothing to call as substance in them.
The police STF was summoned to provide security .
Meanwhile P.M. Ranil Wickremesinghe making a statement in parliament
said , ‘ when we witness these scenes , as Buddhists we feel ashamed’
Speaking further the P.M. said , “ This government will not allow room
to nurse and nurture Buddharakithas and Somaramas. Today , a group
wearing robes created a stir on the Homagama court premises. It must be
investigated whether they are true monks.
Galagodaathe Gnanassara Thera was remanded on charges of committing
contempt of court. The police have been instructed to furnish a report
on that. After the report is received that will be handed over to the
Malwatte Mahanayake and Kotte Mahanayake . Everyone is equal before the
law. When we see these ugly episodes , as Buddhists we are ashamed.There
is a disciplinary code , and monks must abide by that . Laws must be
safeguarded.”
The lawyers collective too yesterday held a media briefing at the
Supreme court complex ,Colombo in connection with the misconduct of
Gnanassara. Senior lawyer J.C. Weliamuna said, simply because a monk
wears a robe he cannot threaten or intimidate the independence of the
judiciary. The Atttorney General and the IGP ought to take most stern
and stringent action against such monks who commit those wrongdoings.
If anyone is behaving in court the same way as he does on the streets or
on stage , it constitutes contempt of court , and against such
individuals if the maximum action is not taken , in the future the court
proceedings will be interfered with in all political litigations.
The masses for government of good governance in the meantime vehemently
insisted that Gnanassara who is a disgrace to Buddhism must be held in
remand custody as an ordinary prisoner without being pampered with
luxury comforts in hospital.
