A group of activists gathered at the Borella roundabout last morning to express their disagreement with the government’s decision to sing the National Anthem in Sinhala only at the 72nd Independence Day celebration. The activists were seen singing the National Anthem in both Sinhala and Tamil. Pix by Nimalsiri Edirisinghe

Who cares, if the government doesn't want to sing in Tamil? This are just ceremonial BS that does not add any value to a humans life, other than divide them.

Well, they can sing in English, Arabic, Malayalam and Malyan too.

Tell me one country in the world where National Anthem is sung in all the languages representing all the communities in the country.If so, in India the National Anthem has to be sung in around 700 languages. What a farce ?

Our neighbour India has more than 100 languages, but their national anthem, 'Jana gana mana' which, I think, is in Bengali, is sung only in that language throughout India.

The constitution clearly states you can sing the national anthem in Sinhala OR Tamil. Why are people creating problems that are not relevant.

Who cares about the national anthem anyway
Udaya Wednesday, 05 February 2020 12:32 PM
So they need to look at a piece of paper to sing the national anthem? If they were so enthusiastic and genuine, they should remember the lines without having to refer to paper. Proves that this is nothing but a publicity stint with ulterior motives.

Idiots who are reading the sinhala script which contains tamil words. If they really cared, they would have learned the language.

Tamils don't need to sing the National Anthem. We should make our own.
Jack Wednesday, 05 February 2020 01:50 PM
Reminds how some Bishops Nuns took the forefront to sing for LTTE. Young ones dreaming of Swiss Visa.
Sheri Wednesday, 05 February 2020 02:06 PM
Nothing by a publicity stunt! Ha Ha!

The biggest joke is ,not the Hindus but the Catholics becoming Tamil nationalists.
