    Please give up the UNP party leadership, as well.

    Jeeves Wednesday, 20 November 2019 04:12 PM

    Common sense prevails at last!

    Srilanka is going to miss a gentleman. Very difficult to fill his place. UNP has no future as the inexperienced members ruined the party. God bless them all

    Samson Wednesday, 20 November 2019 04:18 PM

    Please go quickly.

    UNP die hard Wednesday, 20 November 2019 04:26 PM

    Please don't go

    Your intelligent and farsighted vision is necessary for the welfare of the country, though you could not implement them due to then prevailing political background in the state structure.

    Bronko Wednesday, 20 November 2019 04:28 PM

    He's a gentleman, but not indispensable.

    Ram Wednesday, 20 November 2019 04:29 PM

    Sri Lanka losing a Master who can carry fire under water without anyone knowing and ignite what he wants. Sad situation.

    a Sri Lankan Wednesday, 20 November 2019 04:36 PM

    Never understood and never appreciated the work he has done. I can see tons of mud thrown at him by some ungrateful Sri Lankans. We will miss him..soon

    Sunil Wednesday, 20 November 2019 04:37 PM

    He was very happy to be sworn in as PM as soon as Maithree took his oaths, but has been very reluctant to leave even after being rejected wholesale by the people of this nation.

    gamaya Wednesday, 20 November 2019 04:42 PM

    This ungrateful nation will be interlectually poorer with out him. He never got a chance to do what he thought was right for the country. First it was CBK who sabotaged then came Sirisena....

    Karu Wednesday, 20 November 2019 05:12 PM

    Sri Lankans never understood him and he never understood the Sri Lankans. Those close to him understood his weakness well to pull the rag under his feet. History will judge the past. The current scenario is temporary as nothing other than change is permanent

    As a person who Respects Democracy, I ensured I voted otherwise this time around, so you can arrive at this decision quicker

    RW must resign from the Leadership of the UNP as well.
