I learn with deep sorrow the passing of Anura Bandaranayake, former speaker of the House of Representatives. During my very brief association with him in Costa Rica in 1997, I found him to be an honorable politician with a very charming personality who was dedicated to improve the quality of life of Sri Lankans.
May he attain NIBBANA.

If not for the name he is an insignificant politician who had done nothing of significance in his entire political life.
