Sri Lanka government to celebrate the third anniversary of the war victory

Sri Lanka government is to celebrate the third anniversary of the war victory against Tamil rebels while the Tamils lament about the lack of democracy and opportunity in participation in decision making in politics.


President Mahinda Rajapaksa will declare the national month of war heroes on April 30th.

The President is to wear the first war hero badge on that day at a function held in the President's residence Temple Trees.

The President will observe the parade for the commemoration of war heroes of victory on May 18th at 10 a.m. at the Galle Face Green.

The national war hero commemoration will be held on May 19th at 4 p.m. at the war hero memorial situated close to the parliamentary complex in Battaramulla.


Defeated Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam so far failed to commemorate their slain leader Velupillai Prabakaran both locally and internationally since the outfit remains a banned entity in many foreign countries.
