Let us sacrifice our life to free this country from despotism; autocracy; and family rule . Many people have already died in queues... Let us console his family and let us keep his mission alive ..He died for a mission .. That is to free this country from political anarchy and mismanagement

Dying fir natural causes regardless of where you are. That is far from any sacrifice.

May God bless your soul and comfort your family and friends.

@ Ranaweera, Though you don't worry people dying, in the queues, in gas explosions and in protests, as you strongly like this Barbaric rule, we as humans condole their deaths, all alike.

Even though you left us in this untimely manner at this critical juncture you will always live in our lives for initiating the move to remove this wild animal Gota and his family from power. We will never give up this struggle on behalf of you and all those who died in fuel
