President Mahinda Rajapaksa has praised former Sri Lanka cricket captain
Kumar Sangakkara’s recent speech at the prestigious Spirit of Cricket Cowdrey
Lecture at Lord’s.
When asked about Sangakkara’s lecture during an interview with “The Hindu”
editor N. Ram, the President had said, “It's a very good lecture. I appreciate
it.” The President had said that Kumar Sangakkara had the right to say what he
felt about cricket though some would not disagree with what he said. He
said many had forgotten what Sangakkara had said about the LTTE whom he
described as terrorists while some try to project the LTTE as freedom
fighters. The President said Sri Lankans whether they were Sinhalese,
Tamil, Muslim, or Burgher were treated alike.
“Yes that's what he said. It is a very good speech. I appreciate it,” the
President said.
