Posted By: Je A request to you from someone? Posted By: Tissa Mr. Karannagoda, you are quite right! Go ahead with every possible way of suing SF! Posted By: Bhanu Easy earning! Go ahead Mr. Karanagoda ... most poor people are begging for a piece of bread. God only, can save Sri Lanka. Posted By: Anton uk Thought you are a level headed man. Does not look like it. Posted By: Nadaal WK will get nothing from a court! Posted By: ravana When you say "my reputation and public image," what exactly are you talking about? Posted By: IZZY I watched the whole interview, and SF didn't say a single word to tarnish his image. In fact, he was compassionate towards Admiral WK, for losing his Navy Commander position, within such a short time after the war! Posted By: Bernard Mr. Karannagoda, S.F talked about your good image. He was sorry for you! Posted By: Asoka After 26th January, you will be legally barred from suing him (the new President), in court. Posted By: Mathanamutha ANOTHER POLITICIAN BORN! Posted By: LANKASON SHOW ME ONE SUCH CASE, CONTESTED RECENTLY. THIS IS ALL PROPAGANDA! Posted By: Nihal Gunatilake Well done. I saw the interview and SF talked about gov didn't treat Karannagoda propery. Posted By: Manju They say let sleeping Canines just lie. This is what Presidential General failed to understand. Karannagoda refused to be drawn into the General's circus but the General failed to leave him alone. Now it is a serious case of self infliction from the most unexpected quarters. Posted By: dagobert Pack your bag and be ready for retirement on the 27th January, 2010. You will have the luxury to sue him after that because democracy will prevail. Posted By: Fairose Be a gentleman. Posted By: Yehiya Looks like the Presidential battle this time is fought in courts of law with threats and counter-threats. How about the General filing a case demanding some millions from "Jel" Wimal for the rubbish he is talking about the General in election meetings. Posted By: Calistus Jayatilleke He will have to withdraw it after 26th January!!!! Posted By: Jagath So he gets 500 million in lieu of his good name reputation and public image. Good sale.
