Poor fellow, he should have learnt during his many visits to Sri Lanka from our politicians how to suppress the opposition and stay in power regardless. If he had done so, this needless resignation could have been avoided and carried on practising the Sri Lankan brand of democracy.

In Sri Lanka the one who opposes will have to resign from any position he holds.
