If you are a lawyer, and you have taken an oath to uphold and safeguard the law of this land, then live by that oath.

Ethics cannot be selective. Integrity cannot be situational.

If you are a President’s Counsel, your obligation is even greater. With seniority comes responsibility. With stature comes accountability. You cannot preach principles in public and practice compromise in private. You cannot speak of justice while participating in systems that undermine it.

Money, power, influence, backroom deals — these may buy silence, loyalty, and temporary protection. But they are all short-lived. Eventually, truth catches up.

I hope everyone occupying positions of power and prestige reflects deeply today.

There is a reason people say there is no smoke without fire. Allegations alone do not prove guilt, but they should compel introspection. Every person in a position of authority, whether in law, politics, business, or public service, must question their own conscience.

Have you upheld the law?

Have you abused power?

Have you become a deal maker?

Yes, many will dismiss this and say, “This is politics. This is power. Everyone does it.”

That mindset is precisely why Sri Lanka is in the state it is today.

This is why we became a nation drowning in debt.
This is why institutions lost credibility.
This is why public trust eroded.

Not because ordinary citizens held too much power, but because those entrusted with power repeatedly abused it for personal gain.

I will criticize this government when criticism is deserved. But I will also acknowledge and applaud this government if it demonstrates genuine courage to uphold one principle: that the law must be equal for all.

Equal not only for the powerless.
Equal not only for political opponents.
Equal not only for the convenient targets.

Equal for everyone, including members of their own party.

To his credit, Sajith Premadasa was willing to suspend a member of his own party when circumstances demanded accountability. That took political courage.

I hope President Anura Kumara Dissanayake also walks the talk.

The true test of governance is not whether you can catch the small fish.

The real test is whether you will go after the big fish.

Will you investigate the untouchables?
The powerful influencers?
The operators behind the scenes?
The deal makers sitting comfortably on pedestals, protected by networks of power?

That is where real accountability begins.

Justice is not justice if it only reaches the weak.

Rule of law means nothing if it stops at the doorstep of the powerful.

Sri Lanka does not need selective accountability.
Sri Lanka needs moral courage.
Sri Lanka needs institutions that are fearless.
Sri Lanka needs leaders who understand that no individual — however influential — is above the law.

If we truly want national transformation, we must stop normalizing corruption, patronage, and political deal-making.

The law must not bend for status.
The law must not kneel before power.
The law must stand above all.

Only then can we begin rebuilding this nation.

#RIP #DBSJeyaraj an uncommon #lka journalist who had the courage of his convictions & wrote boldly under his own name even when his analyses and opinions were unpopular with some. He was equally adept in writing about politics, culture and society at large. We will miss him. #MediaLK #JournalismLK

Harrison Ford on Donald Trump: "I don’t know of a greater criminal in history. He doesn’t have any policies, he has whims.”

අද මුලු ලෝකෙම කතා වෙන්නේ ලෝක බලවතාට හිස නොමැවූ ජනපති අනුර ගැන. ලෝකයේ මිනිස්සු අනුර ගැන Comment කරලා තියෙන දේවල් දැක්කම හිතට එන්නේ ලොකු අභිමානයක්. මේ තියෙන්නේ එක කමේන්ට් එකක් විතරයි
