    LOKKA WILL NEVER GET A POLITICIAN LIKE MR. KADIRGAMMAR, LESS TALK.... MORE WORK......NO CHANDI PARTS

    Shankar Monday, 12 August 2013 12:05 PM

    His son supposed to attend the court regarding the land accusation case in Jaffna.

    GC Monday, 12 August 2013 12:29 PM

    Better to honour him by being like him, in behaviour and policies, instead of with plaques no one may notice in a few years and would fade away.

    raj Monday, 12 August 2013 01:01 PM

    His lands were exchanged for this institute

    Ajithkumar Monday, 12 August 2013 02:47 PM

    Everyone knows, late Mr. Kadirgamar did yeomen service to the country. He was the best Foreign Minister so far we had. But since he was an ethnic minority, he was not honoured with PM's post. We like it or not, that is the real fact in our country. Unless other wise, we treat minorities equal and with respect not merely the lip service, our country will never be able to grow. One generation of us suffered due to the mistakes of our earlier leaders, and we don't want our future generations to suffer, because of our current leaders. My only hope right now is, God, and I prey for the betterment of my lovely country.
