Amidst outward rejection of various sorts, doors being shut by chief Buddhist incumbents of the various sectors and massive public debate about the appointment, a new Chief Justice has been sworn in and now steers the helm of a decadent, dictatorial and undemocratic regime. Mind you, the nation is still termed the democratic socialist republic of Sri Lanka, a controversial naming in itself, since it denotes and conforms to neither democracy nor socialist regimes of any sort. It is so unfortunate for us, the citizens of the country, to be the articulated and molested-interpellated subjects of a political ideology of disorder. We fail to yet more depend on the blind lady of justice to stand for righteousness. The symbol of justice merely becomes a signifier of an ideology that is mythical in its status.
