Former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka has said that Sri Lanka’s judicial system should be free from political interference.

When the White Flag case was taken up on Thursday, he emphasised the need for an independent judicial system in the country.

He said that he was happy to accept judgements given by such a court of law.

Biased

Former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka said that ‘white flag case’ and other cases against him were biased.

He pointed out that the presence of the Attorney General in courts at several occasions showed the way how Attorney General Department is influenced by politics.

Former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka is to continue with his statement when the case will be taken up again on May 31.
