Leaders should set an example. Where is 2 meter rule. Hugging each other. Not a practical thing to do when Covid 19 is still not under control

He did nothing for his people nor did he do anything for the country except that he made his family rich.

DID THE MINISTER CONSUME ANYTHING IN MAHINDA'S HOME? THONDAMANS DEATH WILL BE A REASON FOR DRAGGING THE RS. 1000 ISSUE AND OBTAINING VOTES PUTTING FORWARD HIS SON OR NEPHEW IN THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS.

While I mourn the death of a fellow human being, I would like to have a rational assessment of a major politician of the country. Mr Thondaman closely collaborated with the repressive bourgeois political establihment in Colombo irrespective of the governmental change over decades of his political life. If he stood by the estate working class whom he represented by now the daily wage of the worker in that sector would have been minimum Rs. two thousnd (Rs.2000/) in view of the rapidly hiking cost of living. Of course we need to establish the socialist republic of SriLanka and Eelam to win that very resonable demand on behalf of the estate working class!

His grand father was indeed a Legend, but this man nothing to say much as his character was too bad, he mis-used the poor man's subscription money in millions for his luxury life - drinking

R.I.PLEASE. If he lived he could be the President of Sri Lanka and Prime Minister of India simultaneously. Probably the God had a better plan.

Killed? Food poison? Corona? Was there a proper autopsy? It's a death similar to Gamini Athukorala?
