(Lanka-e-News-28.Jan.2016, 11.30PM) It is not only Galagodaathe Gnanassara who was remanded yesterday on charges of committing contempt of court after the Ekneliyagoda case was concluded , even action is to be taken against the Gnanassara robed henchmen ‘Henchasaras’ who broke into the court when Gnanassara was brought to court , and forcibly removed the official cap of the policeman based on contempt of court charges . The SL Bar association is making preparations to file action against them too.
Under charges of contempt of court , the magistrate court as well as the appeal court can hear the trial . In the magistrate court the sentence if found guilty is , 6 months rigorous imprisonment (RI) and a fine , or in the Appeal court the sentence can be 7 years RI plus a fine.
In the circumstances, the true peace loving Buddhists who are ashamed beyond measure at the conduct of Gnanassara and his Henchassaras who are disgracing Buddhism despite being monks wearing the saffron robes, are demanding in one voice that they must be meted out the maximum punishment , so that it will deter and daunt other misled monks too who are following in their footsteps .
