Former Deputy Speaker Ajith Rajapakshe has called for the preservation of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s body for public display after his demise.
Speaking to the media, he stated that the former President Rajapaksa has ended Sri Lanka’s 30-year civil war and deserves such recognition to honor his legacy for future generations.
The former deputy speaker also noted that the bodies of then Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin and Vietnamese revolutionary Ho Chi Minh have been preserved as they were historical figures in their countries, which have given due respect to their leaders. He argued that Sri Lanka should extend the same treatment to former President Rajapaksa.
Furthermore, he expressed concern that the current government is attempting to undermine Rajapaksa’s prominence as a leader. He urged the government to ensure the security and respect of the former President’s contributions to the nation.
