 RANGA
Premadasa
Premadasa,
the President of Sri Lanka who was assassinated on May Day, was in
Delhi on a state visit on October 2, 1992. I met him at Rajghat where
he had gone to pay his respects to the Father of the Nation, Mahatma
Gandhi. I strode up to him to get his autograph on his sketch. He
immediately obliged and then calmly asked me for a sheet of white
paper. In a little over a minute, he drew my sketch, using my pen and
presented it to me with his autograph, saying, "I should
reciprocate." Well, should I say I was cartooned?
