The most unforgettable thing about Dingiri Banda (DB) Wijetunga was his simple, disarming smile. Even the toughest of journalists warmed to that genial grin and thought twice about tossing a hostile question.

I apologize if this is an irrelevant question.
But it is not meant to be an irreverant question.

I consider D.B. Wijetunge and others of his type to be respectable gentlemen.

My question is: Was he buried or cremated?

The otherwise informative article does not give that information.

A MM,

This has answers to your question; he was cremated with honours, in Buddhist tradition.

An excellent article by DBS.

Except for the unfortunate statement he made on the minorities, history will judge him kindly.

If DBS views that DBW's position  on the minorities swung the election, what would have happened if he said nothing ? Was he unconsciously pandering to perceived majority fears ? After Premadasa, DBW was a breath of fresh air. What if he had won the Pres election and unshackled what was remaining of a crazy system ?

May your journey of continuity be safe Sir.
