Gota for president again Thursday, 25 August 2022 07:38 PM

Gota should not have left without the whole of parliament resigning too. Parliament is the cause of more problems than Gota's decisions. If Rajapaksa family have their way, Gota should come into parliament through National list.

Welcome Back to SL. If you really want to regain all fame you lost, you follow what Buddhism preached. You don’t try to save Buddhism....because it is bigger than you. And if you try to save Buddhism in your own way, then you would inevitably be going against Buddhist principles.
