I have never been more proud to be Sri Lankan than I have in the past 3 weeks.Don't forget that the parliamentarians who misbehaved were the minority. You can't let them define your view of this majestic country.Be proud of the majority of the MPs who sat on the opposition end patiently and did their job. Be proud of the Speaker who risked his own safety to uphold his responsibility to democracy.Be proud of the citizens who took to the streets to protect democracy. Be proud of the strength and independence that the Supreme Court displayed on Tuesday which was testament to what we were able to accomplish in the past 3 years.And you know what, be proud of Ranil Wickremesinghe who handled this very unjust situation with such good temperament and poise. I know there is a lot of criticism of him and his role in the party. But whether you like it or not, RW was elected to parliament with an unprecedented 500k+ votes, most preferential votes won in the country. He earned his place as PM and was removed undemocratically. He took it well and united his party in this very difficult time. (I can't help but imagine how MR would have reacted if the same had been done to him.)I think we voted well in August 2015 and we'll vote better 2019. Be proudThisuri Wanniarachchi.</blockquote>
