This is a Great Event.
It is the birth of a new era for the Sinhala Buddhist Majority who have been neglected for the past 70 years.
Be assertive, Sihala Buddhist Citizens, your rights and privileges as the majority in this Nation, must be restored.
Exactly Mr. S.P.Samaraweera, yahapalanaya which was elected to catch thieves never cough any thief! In fact they themselves robbed the state bank. Besides, they never open their respective mouths to say Sri Lanka is a Buddhist state. It came to a state where a dead body of a Buddhist monk was not allowed to cremate in his own Temple yard! SL foreign policy was driven by foreigners. Indeed this is a great event Mr. Pitakondage Samaraweera. We wish Lion Gotabaya all the best.
