Sangakkara steps on stage at Sajith's meeting

Sangakkara steps on stage at Sajith's meeting

Whether former veteran cricketer of the Sri Lankan cricket team, Kumar Sangakkara was to step on a political stage or not was a topic which was a matter of conjecture for a period of time. There were reports published sometime ago that he was to contest the Presidential Elections on the common candidate ticket. However, he constantly brushed aside those rumours. When matters were
such, Sangakkara yesterday happened to step on Minister Sajith Premadasa's stage. 

Whatever it is, when considering the reason why he stepped on stage like that, it cannot be deduced that he did so for any political partiality as such. It can be interpreted as a a participation for the tribute offered in his name when the foundation stone was laid for the Udagama titled "Sada Loka Pujitha Kumara Sangakkaragama". 

In any case, though he had the opportunity of refusing to be present on that occasion, he did not do so. Foundation stone for "Sada Loka Pujitha Kumara Sangakkara" was held yesterday (19) at Kendagasmankada, Lunugamvehera, Hambanthota District. Distinguished cricketer Kumara Sangakkara and Minister Sajith Premadasa were present, attended by a large crowd. However there was no speech heard. This hamlet consists of 25 houses and an aid of Rs. 7 lakhs and a half is bestowed on a single beneficiary in order to build a house.
