In a discussion in 'Rupavahini" Jackson Anthony stated that Khemadasa family decided to reject the state honours.
It is wise decision and a great honour to Premasiri Khemadasa that they refused to have State Honors for his funeral.
Because it will be used by politicians to play their trumpets to "For a few votes more." like vultures.
Still it will happen in his funeral.
All over the world Artists are being used to get more votes... some fall in to the trap willingly.
Some repent later (like Dharmasiri Bandaranaiake who says that he will never help a politician..)
