He said, the Supreme Court notified to implement "Divineguma" bill by the government by acquiring two third majority from the parliament. However northern provincial people were not favorable towards this bill.
He queried why Sri Lanka Workers Congress Leader Arumugam Thondaman and Sri Lanka Muslim Congress Leader Rauf Hakeem and other Tamil party leaders are assisting for the forcible operation of the "Divineguma" bill which is not accepted by the Tamil people.

Supreme Court made a request to temporarily postpone the Parliament Selective Panel’s investigation regarding the crime charges brought against Chief Justice. However Supreme Court did not direct or given an order, but only made a humble request.
