So much for the rich culture, our heritage and the history... I guess this is where it has brought us. Our ancestors must be turning in their graves.

Who says monks has beatten him????

This is how stories are made by people like you to irritate people !!!!! Don't connect everyting to show country is in bad status. These just isolated incidents and no need of this level of publicity in this context. (I dont accept what happend nor say it is correct)

Mind your own business.

Honest people are treated like this in SriLanka. However, righteousness will be in force very soon and all evil men will be destroyed.

Aren't human lives better than Animals?
Isn't it better the UNP fact finding mission check this attack?
