J.R. Jayewardhane
He was then the President of Sri Lanka. During his stay in Delhi, he signed a number of bilateral agreements with India to strengthen the relationship between the two countries. Considered to be a politician of high repute, Jayewardhane met many Indian leaders belonging to various parties. During his visit, he had a number of engagements, including a press conference, where he answered a large number of questions put by journalists with ease and without any malice or prejudice. It was during this short session that I
was able to make his sketch. When I showed it to him, he acknowledged it
with a smile and agreed to affix his signature on a similar one. |
