Once she achieved the highest percentage at a presidential election. Her time is over. People have other ideas, that is because she messed up the whole gamut of things. Allow her to realise the blunders made and have a peaceful retirement.

Nims Friday, 10 July 2015 05:49 AM

100% correct. We are divided and the others are taking the maximum advantage of the situation and ruin the country

Kiris Baba Amaray Friday, 10 July 2015 09:23 AM

No worries putha, robbers, cheaters and looters never prospered. God above there is watching everything.

Vijith Pieterz Friday, 10 July 2015 09:27 AM

She is an Iron Lady, she can live anywhere, but MR can live only in SriLanka and very soon he will be cornered to only Carlton.

Bubble Banda Friday, 10 July 2015 09:28 AM

The London house was a bribe by Nimal Cooke the tender king of Sri Lanka that made over 350 million USD as commissions and made Gamini Dissanaike rich and financed Chandrika Bandatanaike

Please do not come back. Chandrika does not live in Sri Lanka so why she interferes in SL politics.

Of course just as much as for MR you too deserve to be proposed to stay at home after retirement.

Looks like she is not happy with MS performance over nominations handling.

Lamaya Thursday, 09 July 2015 05:03 PM

Harvey Perera Thursday, 09 July 2015 10:40 PM

She has gone to meet with the think tanks in U.K and plot with U.K high command as to how to bring down MR.

Fernandez Thursday, 09 July 2015 10:58 PM

Cherrio, Tata, Bye, Adios, no need to come back.

Director Thursday, 09 July 2015 11:04 PM

All those write only for their interests. No one cares for the country. It is really pit that Sri Lankan is going back wards again.

Mad Dog Thursday, 09 July 2015 11:30 PM

We all remember how MR treated her after wining the Presential election 10 years. She still remember. But MY3 is not treating MR like that. So there is lot of difference between humble people and arrogant people. CBK is a better leader than MR and his goons.

Nims Friday, 10 July 2015 02:24 AM

Wow, To attend family matters in UK?

Waco Friday, 10 July 2015 03:12 AM
