A talk to counter-attack former President Mahinda's son ....by former Chief Justice Shirani's son!

Sometime back former First Lady Mrs. Shiranthi Rajapaksa was summoned to come over to be questioned on a complaint lodged against her at the FCID after which former President's son MP Namal
Rajapaksa had interpreted it as an act of political revenge and had said, 'Let my mother stay in peace .... if you want, catch us .... don't bother our mother', thus uttering a sensitive statement.

When the Facebook ran this statement of Namal, son of former Chief Justice Shirani Bandaranayaka, Shavin Kariyawasam replied that members of his family were subjected to baseless allegations for two and a half years even without getting involved in any form of politics and became trapped in an issue which went beyond this at that time. He then states that making a statement on this occasion to win the mercy is not justified and even goes as far as questioning whether he could now sense this sorrow himself and ends up by asking that the equity of the law only be kept in mind.

Shaveen Kariyawasam is someone who is not connected to law and has pursued studies on the Cinematic Arts and is maintaining an establishment in that connection.
