‘I resigned from the presidency to give the people of Sri Lanka some respite’ View(s):Former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa this week released his book titled “The Conspiracy: How Internationally Sponsored Regime Change Made a Mockery of Democracy in Sri Lanka”. I can now say through experience that whoever becomes President should be the leader of the political party as well”. –“Usually people spend years in a political party rising through the ranks as parliamentarians and ministers before becoming President. There was in fact a major foreign power that was insisting that I should not resign and they had demonstrated their willingness to do whatever it takes to keep Sri Lanka supplied with essentials. Yet I resigned from the presidency [sic] to give the people of Sri Lanka some respite.”(See also the Political Commentary on pages 12 and 13)Share This Post FacebookTwitterEmail × Send Email to FriendSend Please enter valid email WhatsappDeliciousDiggGoogleStumbleuponRedditTechnoratiYahooBloggerMyspaceRSS
