Agree man. I'm a sinhalese and I'd vouch for him to be the first Tamil prime minister. Just like how America had their first black president. Only these kinda people understand the real suffering of minorities as well as the game of foreign affairs.
Sri Lanka's only Foreign Minister who knew his onions and his demise was a national calamity. His place can never be replaced by a gentleman politician cum Foreign minister of his calibre.
the most eminent statesman Sri Lanka has ever produced. I do wish someone would upload his blistering interview with mishal hussein on Hardtalk. RIP Hon. LK
One of the great icons mother srilanka ever produced. We admire you thoroughly as a human being, as a rigid leader and also charismatic personality. 🇱🇰 🇱🇰
I just came here after seeing the video of Mr. Sepal. about English fluency of a teacher from rural area. Mr. Kadirgamar was a great leader and we missed him. Such a great scholer, valuable person & simple man. His down to earth attitude was incredibly remarkable. If our current politicians could learn fraction from this great man.
If LTTE truly loved Tamil people as they vouch, they would have never killed this gentleman. Great loss not only for Sri Lanka but for the whole region
@@roninronin6405 if he is a tamil , what is the problem ?????😒😒😒😒 sir plz understand thus, we all are sri lankans 😊 dont wanna be racists 😌 u must get it
@@ama-vb4rv lol 😜😂 Frivolous!! offended Huh? Tamil have endured that phrase for 65 years now. I think you need to get your facts first!! Who started this derogatory insults! Tamils or Singhalese? For intellectual discourse I suggest you check history. Go ask your parents and grand parent what the issue with PARA THEMALA & Kalla Thoni! & preach to the Hasgiriya/ Kelaniya temple & Maha Sangaratne about racism!! Without knowing history try not to step out to preach. Let me give you my 2 cents of what happen from 1954 to 1977 not to include the riots in 1958 & 1977 & burning of the Jaffna Library. Remember this: Sinhala only policy & followed by the introduction to the letter SRI was the 2 initial oppression against the Tamils in 1956. Rejecting and abandoning the Devolution of power by SWRD and SJV [Bandaranaike-Chelvanayakam Pact] under the pretense of Sinhala Buddhist nationalist ideology. 1958 Riots -looting, killing and burning of Tamils across the Island Finally you are a product from this mad ideology, and you can now see the price the majority is facing in this pandemic run by buffoons! are you happy now with their performance? Unless you free from this Buddhist nationalist ideology & the cult of ignorance, its a matter of time. Like the Titanic! Although LTTE fought a bitter conflict! they never created a derogatory term/phrase against the Singhalese! I challenge you!! If you did hear any, state it here, and I will apologies for it here. 6.9 million elected a set of mad men to run this Island. It is in shambles and going to hell in a hand basket. There is no animosity against you here guy! but I wanted to share the fact that happened in 65 years. We are all humans until Race segregated us, Religion separated us, Politics divided us wealth classified us. Peace out!
@@roninronin6405 from the way you spelled "දෙමළා" I can say for sure that you are a tamil trying to ignite racism by pretending to be a racist Sinhalese. Lakshman Kadiragamar was such a gentlemen and he would have made a great president.
When moderates fail extremists take over.. Chandrika was ready for peaceful solution ltte made a Mockery of her,, then came ruthless the Rajapaksa bros.. Now as of 2021 it's gonna be China, Rajapaksa Vs India, US, Ranil
Up there in the calibre of SWRD, Chelvanayagam or JR. Most occupying the island's parliament right now can only dream of the statesmanship of such giants!
Will Sri Lanka have sons of this nature again ? Thank you Hon. Sir for your service to your country ! Your erudition and perfect clarity of logic you voice will be very badly missed by our countrymen for years to come .
Very very rare we find gentlemen lìke him. Present generation must listen to his speeches interviews discussions etc. His knowledge about international affairs , his English knowledge, pronunciation , disciplined way of talking is excellent. We missed him.
Foreign Minister, that any country would wish for. I have been saying this over and over again, and now too. This was the missing link at the time to lead the country, as executive president. Sadly he was lost, and thugs took over Sri Lankan politics and leadership. Now we all know, what it is today, 2021, after 20 years. Current leadership and politicians have gone so behind its standards, almost to the cave era, tribalism, jungle rule, beliefs of mythical healing powers and bandit gods....🤔🤔🤔🤔
This is a best foreign minister we ever had. Very educated, well respected by whole world. Good choice by president chandrika kumarathunga. This man could have been our president. He is worth while person and respected liberal person. He was the only politician who was ablw to have a productive diologue with JVP and LTTE including singhala nationalists.
Sri lanka and the people are pretty unfortunate to loss these kind of politicians at the middle of careers before taking their service for country and there are many more like premadsa,vije,and gamini disanayake
Then how the LTTE backed TNA won absolute majority in NE?! I highly doubt this man’s claim and why even after 15 yrs of LTTE’s demise people are commemorating the Maveerar’s
He took sides with sinhala govt (mainly coz he has no support in Tamil areas) being a Tamil and speak for sinhala govt gave him more warm from sinhala racists sides.. but he faild to condemn state terrorism of sinhala govt.,
More have been done for mother Sri Lanka 🎉🎉🎉 May you at NIBBANA ! also whO had done for your death! They all have been happy hearted !We forgave them for their ignorance 🎉 my dear friend sir Every time you are mostly praised Foreign minister
Well said. A true leader. By the way ltte mad people wont get him and consider him as a traitor. A war can win nothing . A blood shell can win nothing. That thing we have to understand . Life is short. Live it peacefully with no harm.
A great son of mother Lanka... The best foreign minister a Sri Lankan government ever had... He was the last politician of his calibre... The modern jokers in our parliament can never come close to him. His death was a huge loss for the people of Sri Lanka.😢

He hated discrimination!
Every ways he was a great human. Great gentleman!
This man could have been the Sri Lanka's first tamil prime minister

@@roninronin6405 you'll soon have a chineese prime minister ,deal with it😂😂😂.
That’s why he was assignation carried out by LTTE & Supported by Some Sri Lankan politician too .
Lol no the Sinhalese would not have done it in their lifetime
Such a boss! One of the best foreign ministers the world has ever seen let alone Sri lanka. He was an Oxford scholar, it clearly shows.
Sri Lanka's only Foreign Minister who knew his onions and his demise was a national calamity. His place can never be replaced by a gentleman politician cum Foreign minister of his calibre.
watching this again I was reminded what a class act, sharp clear mind
I was a child during his days to appreciate his maturity and vision ❤
the most eminent statesman Sri Lanka has ever produced. I do wish someone would upload his blistering interview with mishal hussein on Hardtalk. RIP Hon. LK
It is hidden somewhere on the web and we will spend the rest of our lives in search of it.

Laxman Kadirgamar was great man. One of the LTTE's worst crimes was murdering him.
No he wasn’t.

One of the Greatest statesmen we have ever had representing our country. Departed too soon
Up there in the calibre of SWRD, Chelvanayagam or JR. Most occupying the island's parliament right now can only dream of the statesmanship of such giants!

He is a great human being 😢

Mr Kadhiragamar is a real gentlemen . We lost a gem 😢❤
The greatest treasure Sri Lanka ever had 🇱🇰🙏
I wish he could have become our president, thank you Sir, for the great service to our nation!

My personal hero. Would have made such a wonderful president instead of the criminal jokers we've had around recently.
We lost a this unique gentleman,
He has done yeoman service to the country. It is unfortunate that we do not have leaders of this calibre now.

Poor guy! Was not allowed to become the prime minister because being a Tamil!

Government is not terrorists. We all know who are terrorists otherwise ltte would not get banned.
Of course he chose Humanity as a Tamil over Racist Eelam concept. He is a true son of Mother Lanka
what a valuable life lost for sri lankan.
