Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s body must be preserved for public display for future generations, former Deputy Speaker Ajith Rajapkshe said. 

Speaking to the media, Ajith Rajapkshe said Mahinda Rajapaksa was a celebrated figure of the nation for ending a 30-year civil war.

He further said, as such, after his demise, Mahinda Rajapaksa’s body must be preserved for public display, such as the late Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin and Vietnamese revolutionary leader Ho Chi Minh. 

“Leaders of these countries decided that no matter the cost, such leaders must be respected by future generations even after their demise,” he said. 

Rajapakshe said that it is the responsibility of the government to ensure the security of the former President. 

Ajith Rajapkshe further alleged that the government was attempting to belittle Mahinda Rajapaksa’s legacy and prominence as a leader of Sri Lanka and efforts to end the long civil war. (Newswire)
