ARJUNA MAHENDRAN = ARCHUNA RAMANATHAN?

 

1.   Arjuna Mahendran noticed to appear in court over bond scam –

[Colombo, November 26 (Daily Mirror)- The Colombo Chief Magistrate's Court today issued a notice directing former Central Bank Governor Arjuna Mahendran to appear before the court on February 25, 2025.

The Colombo Permanent Trial-at-Bar bench has already issued a warrant through Interpol for the arrest of former Central Bank Governor Arjuna Mahendran in connection with the Central Bank bond scam case. 

However, he is currently evading courts by residing overseas.]

 

Does the reported action add value  to the Sovereignty of  Sri Lanka’s  Judicial system ?

To analyse, I am taking the other Arjuna/ Archchuna from North, who is at the centre of Tamil diaspora gossip:

2.   Arrest warrant issued against MP Archchuna Ramanathan-

[ Colombo Additional Magistrate Manjula Ratnayake has ordered the issuance of an arrest warrant against Jaffna District Independent Member of Parliament Archchuna Ramanathan, through the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) in Jaffna. 

This order was issued during the hearing of an ongoing case today (26) related to an alleged incident of assaulting an individual after causing a traffic accident on the Baseline Road, Colombo in 2021.

Meanwhile, on November 25, MP Archchuna Ramanathan, who had unintentionally occupied the seat designated for the Leader of the Opposition during the inaugural session of the 10th Parliament, issued an apology for the incident. 

The apology was made during a workshop for newly elected Members of Parliament held on November 25. MP Ramanathan explained his actions and expressed regret for the misunderstanding caused by sitting in the Opposition Leader’s designated seat.]

Apparently Common in both matters are the dates of  Court orders, place (Colombo) and first names of the accused persons. The less apparent common issue is Financial mismanagement. Mahendran is the accused in one, and Ramanathan is the accuser in the other.

Did this happen due to both being members of the same Tamil community? Is this the case with communities that  separate themselves through apparent physical differences?

 

Is pain sharing a way to unity? A caring soul shared the analysis through rituals in worship of common deity Murugan by Sinhalese  also. The Most Painful Religious Rituals

 

Food for thought.
