Colombo, September 7 (Daily Mirror)- NPP Presidential candidate Anura Kumara Dissanayake has been advised to rest by his doctors after suffering from fever due to exhaustion.

JVP General Secretary Tilvin Silva told a rally in Deiyandara, Matara that Dissanayake was unable to attend the rally as he is not well.

"Anura is not well. He broke rest during the last few days and is exhausted. He is suffering from fever and it became worse this morning. So, his doctors have advised him to rest at least for a day. We decided to give him a rest today," he said.

Dissanayake attended NPP Lawyers' Conference and sports conference- 'the Winning Edge, a Roadmap Towards Sporting Greatness' in Colombo this morning.

He was trying to imitate Obama as the same way by going up and down on steps really fast. He must do what he can instead of showing off. Also, this may be due to stress in connection with the false promises given and brutally lying about certain issues.

It is known as metal exhaustion due to making bogus statements, contradictions, pretentious behavior and finally due to the attempts to cover up the past antisocial and anti-religious nefarious actions.

We are somewhat shocked to hear that news As he participated in the rallies continuously he was so strenuous and overstrained we wish him fast recovery. We don’t know whether other contenders are casting a spell either along with the power of the evil eye and devil spirit in order to make him jeopardised. Therefore the compassionate God may bless him to proceed his campaign without any hindrance

I noticed many times his the sound of his voice changed dramatically . Please give them some days rest and at least for three days. he has been doing this for more three months continuously .. you all must give preference to his health and safety. Please take care of him first. It is ok and NPP has already won it and let him rest a week. we have one more after that. You all have done enough work day and night. please give him a good rest and people of this country will not betray NPP. Now it is enough and take it easy and all NPP leadership must take it easy now. it is enough now. People have got the message. They only wait for 21/09/24 and after some rest all of you could do one more last time a forceful campaign. We hope and pray a quick recovery to AKD and NPP leaders must pay little bit more attention for your health and safety first.

Take a hike and build stamina Sunday, 08 September 2024 01:32 AM

Being a leader and president requires stamina. All the aggression, fighting and negativity by AKD/JVP will cause high stress and exhaustion. Also, Lankans are NOT the fittest, most health conscious people on earth. Everyone is obese, they don't exercise, has a disease or two and neglect their health. Namal looks the fittest politician in Sri Lanka and the only one who seems to have the energy and stamina for the job.

BnW Sunday, 08 September 2024 05:35 AM

May be not physical exhaustion, as this is not about hard physical work, but mental exhaustion. Each leader has different level of mental capabilities that come from family lineage, social stature and education. When one's heart is troubled, it can lead to physical issues. See, RW in his age and what he had to face- house was burned, took up one of the most difficult challenges, more than half the country talking against him, being ridiculed ad 'seeya' and having to work with a rejected team yet managed to avert complete destruction of the country. Here, we see relatively young person just doing elections rallies, down with exhaustion.

My god, how on earth are you to commit yourself to socio-economic revival day and night once you get elected with an 80% vote on 21 September? Maybe you must be provided with a vehicle better than a V8 to prevent you from getting tired when travelling from one location to another.

May God give him a quick recovery and come back to campaign soon. He has been entertaining millions of Lankans for the last few months. Do not you a huge crowd where ever he goes and when ever speaks . He is an icon of our new political road map. he is Lee of our Sri Lanka. Let him have some rest.

Judging by your grammatical errors and poor writing skills I suggest you do not pass judgement on others inability to converse in English.

You can only dream of such an achievement with your disgusting snobbery.

Good Doctor Monday, 09 September 2024 07:49 AM

AKD has had a nervous breakdown after realizing the gigantic task ahead of him if he wins. This shows that he does not have the brains or the stamina required for the position of President. He would have been dead by now if he was exposed to the stresses and work load that RW was exposed to during the last 2 years.

Kumari Sen Thursday, 12 September 2024 07:49 AM

Please give evidence for your comment that he has had a nervous breakdown. It is hilarious to think that Ranil was exposed to stress and workload. He has had a luxurious life in the last two years. Travelled to many countries with tax payers money, using helicopters and luxury cars with an ambulance at the back of large number of cars. He can pick and choose what he does unlike western politicians who are scrutinised daily by an independent media. When the populace comprehensively defeated him in the last election, he was idling and watching Netflix. What a life he gained compared to the life he was experiencing after loosing an election. A leader, an honest politician should work towards leaving a legacy for the country.

Can you compare his election itinerary with any other candidates? Carpeted roads doesn't mean one can avoid being tired. Helicopters will certainly reduce the impact on physical energy. Have you seen how Ranil walks up the stairs? At 76, the brain is ageing. There is no escape from it. I am yet to hear an intelligent debate from Ranil.
