It is sometimes shameful and shocking to read the nasty comments made about Chandrika, often out of ignorance of her achievements for the country! Like everyone who has held such an office, she made mistakes, but she was a president in difficult times who risked her life to lead Sri Lanka!!! She was a politician respected in the world, not only for her political wisdom, her charisma and for what she did for the country! This also applies to other of the Bandaranaikes!!! The malice and spite in the historical aftermath are out of place and obviously come from people who did not live in the middle of their time! She stands out positively from many male predecessors and successors who "can't hold a candle to her politically!"

It was your bad decision to promote MR in the first place and he has changed the culture of this great parliament which is now filled with his thieves and criminals

They obviously come from people who did not live in the middle of their time and whose political judgment is poorly developed! Chandrika stands out positively from many male predecessors and successors who "can't hold a candle to her politically!" She will go down in the history of the country as a great president!
