    Why we never celebrated war heroes day for liberating the country from JVP TWICE?

    Mohan Saturday, 20 May 2017 05:43 PM

    No. The brutal killers who were responsible for this war were those who took part in the riots of 1958 and 1983.

    Mohan Saturday, 20 May 2017 05:45 PM

    Those tamil terrorist did what they did thanks to the sinhala saints who were responsible for the 1958 and 1983 riots. Those saints didn't get felicitated for their holy work.
