Silva said this while addressing a group  of scholars and professionals at the Anuradhapura CTC Conference Hall  on Thursday (25). Speaking further he said Gen. Sarath Fonseka who saved  the country from terrorism and created an atmosphere for all  communities to live in peace and harmony had lost his own freedom and  was now in jail.      “As our rulers continue to violate the constitution or the common law  of the country, we are nearing a chaotic situation here similar to that  of Myanmar. The country would in turn face a serious economic crisis  come August. Other countries and even the UNO have focused attention on  the violation of human rights in this country, he added. “This would  result in the denial of GSP concessions to Sri Lanka and in turn many  garment factories will face a threat of closure.”      The former CJ warned that the loss of employment suffered by garment  workers would further add to the unemployment problem facing the  government. “The future of this country depends on finding lasting  solutions to the problems  I have mentioned above,” he said.dailymirror</blockquote>
