    Wesak and Poson was too close after Easter Sunday. Esala is quite far from these events and gives enough time for anyone to recoup for another spectacular attack so don't speak too soon. There are elephants too to consider.

    As the general public, we see no value but utterly disappointed to learn your window dressing approaches for solving problems in the country. Stop dramas and expidite to establish one legal and education system in the country .The same has been emphasized by Mahanayaka Thero recently.
