Karu is trying put this poor guy into trouble in his long past retiring age.

Good to know that people recognize the word! However the actuality is that the qualities you mentioned are long gone from our society almost to the point of extinction.

citizen1 Thursday, 27 January 2011 04:14 PM

The choice is dignity or life. Hard choice for a man wth a family.

The Judge Thursday, 27 January 2011 02:28 PM

D D knows NO DIGNITY. He should have resigned immediately after the Presidential election. GOODBYE.

I Hussein Thursday, 27 January 2011 01:44 PM

Sara - Wasnt he disgusting when he declared the last election outcome. He could have packed his bags long ago!

Cobra Thursday, 27 January 2011 12:39 PM

Show that he has dignity, that's what he could do.

Cobra Thursday, 27 January 2011 12:38 PM

No Sir, DD is a super humbug and a nincompoop to boot. He will not retire until he has no more ........ .

ranjith Thursday, 27 January 2011 12:27 PM

Percy Galagedera Thursday, 27 January 2011 11:33 AM

If he stays back I feel another total disaster for Lankans.
What a disgraceful servant of people.

dxb Thursday, 27 January 2011 10:28 AM

Yes , you are right; it is beacuse of Ranil's dignity , he does not know how to cheat ,he is from a respective place and brought up in a very respectable level with Daham .

We need people like Dr, hooligans ,etc

Fayad Thursday, 27 January 2011 07:38 AM

Very True, what ever regime election have not been free & fair
don't blame the commissioner politicians has to get the blame.

unl Thursday, 27 January 2011 07:31 AM

same as RW

wara Thursday, 27 January 2011 07:15 AM

It's not commissioners fault. Only the incapability of UNP including Ranil. Nothing else.

SF Thursday, 27 January 2011 07:11 AM

DIGNITY! Good to hear the word been used. I thought this word was long removed from our vocabulery along with certain other words such as integrity, loyalty, modesty, honour etc

Labby Thursday, 27 January 2011 07:08 AM

What could Dayananda Dissanayake do when he's threatened at gunpoint ?

Gamarala Thursday, 27 January 2011 07:10 AM

He does not know the meaning of Dignity after President election

Anver Thursday, 27 January 2011 07:05 AM

He should not retire with trembling voice and shaking hands in his final election speech! Wish him well.

Ryan Thursday, 27 January 2011 07:06 AM

UNP talking dignity of people, what a joke, they were throwing stones at judges houses and dragging Profs along the road, where was the concern for dignity then? Best this is to prevent UNP coming to power in order to protect dignity of people.

Tharaka Chanaka Thursday, 27 January 2011 07:00 AM

Have we ever had a free and fair election for this guy to be proud about in the first place?

Shanil Thursday, 27 January 2011 06:58 AM

Ironic coming from the UNP don't you think.....

Sue Thursday, 27 January 2011 06:54 AM

Mr. Dayananda lost his dignity and his self respect at the conclusion of the last Presidential election. The UNP leader RW on the other hand does not seem to have any dignity at all and still hanving on when everyone wants him out.

channa Thursday, 27 January 2011 06:48 AM

It time to you and RW to Retire.....How many elections has the UNP lost?

nagulendran Thursday, 27 January 2011 06:46 AM

When are you going to Retire?

Amarapala Thursday, 27 January 2011 06:42 AM

Same goes to your leader, right?
