Detained General Sarath Fonseka says he did not accept the first court martial ruling on him and termed the sentence of dishonorable discharge from rank pending the President’s approval as a “joke”
The General in a comment to Daily Mirror online via his wife Anoma Fonseka said that the decision was handed over by lower ranking military officials to a four star General which was unacceptable and a “humorous joke”.
“I have been given a ruling by four low ranking military officers which is a joke for me and the public. No one can accept this ruling,” Anoma Fonseka said quoting the General.
Meanwhile speaking at a press briefing in Colombo today DNA MP Anura Kumara Dissanayaka claimed that his party did not accept the ruling of the first court martial and added that it was a one sided case.
Dissanayake added that only the government side was present for the hearing and the decision was taken when Fonseka’s lawyers were on holiday.
