Shirani Bandaranayake’s Ruling on Sacred Areas Act and not Divineguma Bill was the Cause of her Impeachment

Faced with this unexpected resistance, the government withdrew the Act in April 2012.
Three people were instrumental in impeding the Sacred Areas Act – CJ Bandaranayake, the Chief Minister of the NCP Berty Premalal Dissanayake and the Chief Minister of the EP Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan.
14 months later all three are out of jobs.
