MR must be prime Minister. He was the person who developed the country.

Jamis Friday, 17 July 2015 06:05 PM

Agreed. Did the entire country allow MR dictate terms and run a mafia type politics?

Sikuru Friday, 17 July 2015 06:07 PM

You need to find a better lie, underworld thugs are always with MR

If he has such security threats he must stay home leaving aside his greed for power.

Hora Mahinda Friday, 17 July 2015 08:52 PM

Very suitable comment. Who is the fat thief. Yes, no doubt the old defeated king.

Horri Jimonis Friday, 17 July 2015 08:55 PM

He only developed his family and not the country. Looting was his profession.

Kiris Baba Amaray Friday, 17 July 2015 09:01 PM

Former Kings privileges should be removed as he has come into politics again.

Lakshman De Silva Saturday, 18 July 2015 08:29 AM

No one has a right to remove constitutional priviledge of any Past or Present President. There are some lawyers who does not know ball of Law

Dharmasena Saturday, 18 July 2015 02:10 PM

He should retire now. He has done his part for our country.

Rohan Sunday, 19 July 2015 02:34 PM

There are so many ill-informed people like Sampath. I pity him.
