Former President Maithripala Sirisena said people were living happily during his tenure and there were no issues at that time.

"We know that you have so many issues today. People in all parts of the country are facing these issues. The country is facing a huge economic crisis. The Agricultural sector is in crisis. Farmers have no fertilizer for farming.We regret this situation," he said.

Adressing the SLFP Jaffna District convention, the former President said he had developed close international relations with world leaders as they supported him.

"During my time world leaders all supported me. The people did not have any issues they are facing today. Prices of goods were down. I had created close contacts with world leaders.They all supprted me to govern the country," he said.

He said the SLFP as a party which did not consist of any corrupt politicians would march foward as a people-friendly party. (Romesh Madushanka)

    Of course, we were happy till the royal family got you by the nuts and did the 52 day government.

    Eper Monday, 21 February 2022 02:30 PM

    Samantha Monday, 21 February 2022 08:32 PM

Under PM Wickramasimghe He and his govt.did alm of this. You just try your best to be fake boss.Thats all.what a joker are you. Lol

    jayt Monday, 21 February 2022 09:12 PM

    Hi Eper, there were 1 millions bombs, 100 thousand Sinhalese deaths 10 thousands govts ministers, MPS presidents, thousands of police men, thousands Buddhist monks deaths by Tamil Tigers. So why "entire country is not paying for it" which spy made this piece propaganda for you.? Why Christian and Tamil who have been hiding in Colombo attacking and killing important for you?

    Sri lankan Monday, 21 February 2022 09:14 PM

    Should definitely give him credit for entertaining us. He made enough money

    Luxmy Monday, 21 February 2022 10:31 PM

    There is a difference between being happy and laughing at your acts of banality

    Pantha Kumaran Monday, 21 February 2022 10:44 PM

    Yes, we agree. But due that green man you couldn't do a lot. It was sad. People kicked out that green man. Next time please be with good people. God bless you Sir

    MESS Monday, 21 February 2022 11:02 PM

    People were worried when Ranil Wickremasinghe was running the country in to mess while you were the President without power. During your tenure, Ranil Wickremasinghe Massacred innocent people bringing Zahran to BOMB the Church (Easter Sunday Attack)

    Anthony. R Monday, 21 February 2022 11:30 PM

    Look who's Talking, ha, ha, ha, hi. You and Ranil are the main cause of this situation to day what our nation is going through. Stay away, stop dreaming, wait for your "Karma" ,it is for sure, it spares None.

    Sumanga Monday, 21 February 2022 11:41 PM

    Sad to say he was an angel in comparison

    Weareallfools Tuesday, 22 February 2022 12:55 AM

    Shut your clown @ up! During your time nothing happened, no progress, just stagnant, like clogged toilet bowel. Not even a new pavement or a bus stand was made.

    Bull Tuesday, 22 February 2022 02:01 AM

    Yes agree but you played a part to topple your government. Maybe UNP managed very well under your ineffective leadership.

    Dingiripala Dewabandu Tuesday, 22 February 2022 04:00 AM

    Yes, yes you and your family were very happy (and still happy) except innocent poor people and Pasku victims. People were only happy to see a Pambaya is waving hands!

    Ravi Perera Tuesday, 22 February 2022 04:36 AM

    This joker is quite unbelievable , you could not make this up. I mean does he really believe himself ? The sad fact is in any other democracy he would be in prison by now for gross deriliction of duty. This is the gutter level our country has got into when incompetents like this think they are fit for re-election.

    Sunny Perera Tuesday, 22 February 2022 04:48 AM

    For his role in the Easter massacre together with Ranil W for their criminal neglect despite warnings from global sources they should be indicted and incarcerated.There are other liabilities they should be held responsible for.

    Eper Tuesday, 22 February 2022 06:34 AM

    Hi Jayt-Killing of the innocent cannot be endorsed under any circumstance let it be in the north or south and to be accepted globally you need to follow human conditions.Otherwise we will be an isolated state.

    Enrique Igrasias Tuesday, 22 February 2022 01:39 PM

    its not me, but this guy should be whipped with a madu waligay
