It is understood that Makandure Madush has viewed the funeral from Dubai across satellite. Apart from this, he had conveyed a message of sorrow and it had been printed on a digital banner. What was mentioned in it is as follows: "the crown of the offspring of Peladuwa ... you are a humble man so simple ... to shout and tell the pain welling up in my heart by keeping my face on your chest ... this society did give me no permission, you know. I know that my father is behind me as a shadow at every moment and is giving me strength and courage. When political big shots of the elite class who grabbed thaththa's podi putha's life enjoy luxury, thaththa's blood ran swiftly ... stuck in flesh, bones and nerves pursuing those men ,did not think twice or went backward to take a weapon into the hands to extinguish the pain and suffering of the silent fatherly emotions.
I shall not leave room to grab the lives of any more boys such as him. In your name I pledge for the last time in your name to destroy those who are a curse to the country and society ... your son who was shocked at your sudden departure. You are a father who bestowed an altruistic son to the country who passed beyond death". A large number of people attended this funeral and even underground stalwarts supportive of Madush have been present, information was received.
