Many years ago I worked for a multi national telecom company and I sent on a business visit to South Africa. The was just after all sanctions due to Apartheid system was removed. Being coloured myself I was a bit nervous at the immigration at Johannesburg airport. My surname being De Silva, the immigration office asked me it was related to Aravinda De Silva. The put me at ease and felt I was welcome. This will not happen in Thailand as a fugitive from Sri Lanka has entered.

Thailand is a tourist centre and he can have fun in that country and his countrymen are undergoing all sorts of problems in this country. He has enough dollars to live in any part of the world.

Let him come to Sri Lanka and live with dignity. He was a failed politician but a very successful hero. He rescued the whole nation from terrorism. He deserves a right royal life in Sri Lanka.

According to many the criminals are the Aragalaya lot, u know the ones who freed us from this yoke. Going after real criminals who left SL in $58 billion in debt are not the criminals, they are law abiding, because they don't go out and protest or break any suddenly dreamt up laws.

This is a good lesson for anyone who does anything beyond their capacity, Gota could have remained a Sinhala soldier and retired as a soldier

Trying to get back the sympathy of 6.9 million misled voters by trying to show that he is the victim of a conspiracy. Let's not be fooled again.

God watches our moves, tames us to be human. Gota has enjoyed life, nothing to regret for him. In fact he became president with marketing Mahinda sulanga. Inexperienced President ruined the country's economy. Let him live as a normal citizen.

His family and ourselves conferred the title terminator (Wionews also using this word to describe GR) on GR which GR welcomed. Now GR who pardoned war criminals has become a transient wandering the world searching for a home.

Gota, always look back, see whether Hena Hatha is after you!! If not today - it will come tomorrow to all politicians in Siri Langa.

Gota did not fulfill his obligations as a President-he abjugated his duties and ran away- There is no way he can hold on to a Diplomatic passport

Is there any provision in our constitution for an ex-president to be staying away from the country for such long spells and still to hold on to a security paid for by the tax payers

Surely ex president should be entitled to a diplomatic passport. Point is why he is on the run spending looted dollars if his interest is to be back.

I read somewhere as RW said recently that if GR comes back now, he might get subjected to legal action without the presidential impunity. If RW said so, my appeal to: 1. Those in top of SL’s judiciary. 2. Those right thinking law makers in the parliament. 3. Those in Tri forces of SL 4. All religious leaders. 5. All those in the press 6. All those who are patriots of SL 7. All those who love SL and are concerned about the wellbeing of the people of SL. To critically analyze RW’s Statement and to understand what is said openly and what are HIDDEN messages. One clear hidden message is that RW admits that GR has made crime/s that, if prosecuted, would put him in big trouble. Then secondly, RW suggests another time for him to come back....that time being a time when everything is squarely in RW’s control so that he can bend the law and protect the criminal. So, by his statement, isn’t that RW, a President, is intending to help a criminal to escape from law????
