In all my life I have never seen a country come together with the sole purpose of ousting a failed leader. I will always stand with the people of Sri Lanka. Soon the victory will be celebrated. Sanath tweeted that this association should not be broken. In another tweet, he said the president should show the dignity to resign. The blockade is over. Your castle is broken. He said that people’s power has won and he also tweeted pictures with the agitators. “This is for our future,” Sangakkara said while tweeting a video of the protesters surrounding the President’s residence.
