Ex-His Excellency J. R. Jayawardene, who remained one of the greatest leaders of our time in the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, regrettably graced an occasion marred by the presence of mean-spirited and corrupt individuals—except for a foreign delegate, whose presence reflected the respect truly deserved by His Excellency J. R. Jayawardene.

A crafty cunning politician who set the trend to ruin the country.

This man has incited the problems to a different level and we all suffered as the consequences. The rest is history

One of the leaders that Sri Lanka needs to forget. He brought a flawed constitution and which we are still suffering from. Expect the present government to bring a people centred constitution.

This guy was a power hungry charlatan and a fraud. Why commemorate him. He should be discarded into the dustbin of history

His stupid foreign policy bequeathed a 30 year long war for Srilanka which devastated the country of it’s future.

This is the man initiated to allow all politicians to steal as much as possible! Distruct the leagal system when came to power - allow to destroy all opposition people houses and wealth! Destoy the legal system - hoot the judge who gave the correct decision in favour of Vivien G - such a nsty guy - why this black man came out suddenly out of a box! I do not think, this man or Prma are no where to get sympathy of people of vanishing UNP!
