Sarath Fonseka who was released from the Welikada prison a short while ago addressed the public and said, “I believe that the public will serve justice for the injustice that was brought upon me. I was taken away from my people due to political hatred. I will not forget those who stood by me shedding their tears and their grief for me. I hope to bring a better future and I will save the country from corruption. Be with us as I will never back down nor will I be discouraged. I will never forget the faces of you people who were waiting for me throughout the day. I wish nothing but the best for you and your future generations. I salute you.”

If I'm not mistaken, according to our constitution, a citizen can't contest for presidency if he has been imprisoned for two years or more.

I hope I'm wrong.

Mangala Monday, 21 May 2012 01:00 PM

Well, cant you still figure it out? He know what you are talking, thats why he didnt topple the gov by militarily. He came by democratic way, but when he realize this so called democrat is nothing but corrupt, it was too late, so dont try to teach him. Where is your system, can you tell that it is so correct?

Marikar Monday, 21 May 2012 12:59 PM

Sir, I trust you will lead the country, & reduce the thumping Electricity Bills we have to pay, bring the US $ down, & bring the Cost of Living down. We are suffering today Sir, to make ends meet. May God Bless You Sir!
