Towards an Independence Day for National Unity and Reconciliation
by Laksiri Fernando
( January 30, 2015, Sydney, Sri Lanka Guardian) It is only four days to go for the Independence Day celebrations. It appears that the positive input from the Minister of Foreign Affairs has come to make the celebrations more meaningful. Earlier indication was to have the day on the theme of ‘wholesome motherland, dignified tomorrow’ (piripun maubimak, abiman heta dinak).
