No one need to leave the country at all. AKD is a humble and simple person. He does not take revenge on any one. Please do not leave and we need the help of all to build this nation. it is now a collective support what this country need. Do not think that NPP is holding political grudge. Please do not think like this. rather take it as national matter not a personal thing.

@Politics: You are either naive or slightly simple. There is NO humility in politics. AKD would already have earmarked his tormentors and political rivals and his revenge will be served slowly and steadily. So, grow up and stop making ridiculous comments please.

There should be a travel ban for politicians. At these times they should not let them escape

“The new president must focus on justice, not revenge. It’s crucial to hold corrupt politicians accountable for their actions, but this should be done through legal and transparent processes. The priority should be to restore trust in the system, rebuild the nation, and ensure that such damage is never allowed to happen again. True leadership lies in upholding the rule of law and working for the betterment of all citizens.”

Congratulations to Srilankans for successful completion conducting elections and for peace transition of power. As many said in these columns, it is time for nation reconciliation. But corrupt and looters of nations wealth shall be taken care by the Judiciary. We, the outsiders hope the judiciary lives upto the expectations.

According to most of these comments it seems there is a new saint among us - Saint Anura Kumara - humble, honest, no revenge in his heart, only desiring to serve the beloved country and the beloved people of the country! The gleam from his golden halo is truly spectacular! We Sri Lankans are so fortunate to have this saintly being in our midst!

He won't do anything to take revenge or persue the corrupt because JVP has skeletons in the closet too. People who were there in wijeweera's time are still leaders of JVP and they have not been prosecuted for their crimes during the insurgency.
