He was trying to serve his people by disturbing someone elses right to live in all part of the country.He tried to serve his people but chose wrong path

Why these some critics beating their breast about the bishop and want him died ? Actually these are born insane mads .He was initially invited by a literary society which conducts annual celebrations at Ramakrisna Hall Wellawatta for a facilitation as others are honoured. This year even our President MS was invited and honoured in a unique way in which never before any other politician had either been rewarded or honoured . Bishop must have either planned or decided to meet Keery if it was possible while he was in Colombo. What if and what is wrong because he uses the government figures of the people before the war and after the war so what happend to the rest ,this is a want simple arithmetic. A responsible government is bound to reveal.

Well he fought for the well being of his people during the most trying circumstances. Nothing wrong with that. We Sinhalese will find it difficult to accept but this man has done huge amount of sacrifice for his people.LetWe all pray for his speedy recovery.Let us shed differences and rise together as human beings.

The Christian Church as a minority remain low profile in Politics. The Buddhist and Christians have prove the tolerance in the past. let church be free from politics that is god message.

Dalu banda Sunday, 03 May 2015 05:34 PM

I believe the God . May be this is his wish to prevent the mission of the Bishop Joseph, which is not agreeable to his terms . May he recover soon.

Senator Sunday, 03 May 2015 05:04 PM

It would be prudent for J.K to visit him.
