We have seen this type of honorary titles are distributed freely in this country by monks but keep it in mind that such a title bestowed on a person was chased out of the country very recently.

This is an insult to the great preaching's of Lord Buddha, when a person who is known for crimes against humanity is venerated.

Exactly. My thoughts too. Disgrace on those who claim to uphold the sacred non violent virtues of the Buddha.

Is the honor bestowed to have beaten and hounded the protestors? Still the same old crooks being honored and robbing the country and treated as royals. Srilankans have become a country of slaves with no self respect or dignity. Still allowing these clowns to go around as royals after ruining the country.

Military officers should retire and then go in to the sunset. They should not be appointed to diplomatic posts or get in to politics with the rare exception. These types have destroyed the foreign service, the civil service and brought the country to its knees..

What about the former Commander of the Sri Lankan Army Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka who led the Army in all fronts and almost died of a BoMb attack. He was the most decorated Army Officer in the the History of Sri Lanka. He was harassed, disgraced, insulted and jailed for talking straight . I do not know what to think of the grand honorary title. What about Secretary of Defence Kamal Gunaratne.
