Former CJ says no legal action can be taken against him

Former Chief Justice Sarath N Silva today vowed to continue to campaign to change the Executive Presidential system, but said he had no personal political ambitions.

The former Chief Justice said that had supported the former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka as part of the campaign to change the Presidential system.

He said the move to appoint a Parliamentary Select Committee was to take revenge against him and that according to the constitution no legal action could be taken against him.

He said that the Parliamentary privileges may be misused against him in the process.

Among the matters the MPs have called to be probed are the circumstances certain former judges were removed and issues of abuse of power.
