Nice to see a well organized religious programme! The main point one has to go into is the,purpose of holding this. 1.Bless the country. 2 To invoke blessings to the late Prelate Malwatte/Asgiriya.Some are engaged in Sathyagraha at Viharamaha Devi Park. simultaneously surrounded by Mass media. Just see the difference between the former and the latter.Left to you dear readers to decide!!!
