Rev. Fr. Cyril Gamini Fernando of the Colombo Archdiocese said that Catholic priests will not attend the Independence Day celebrations. "What freedom does Sri Lanka have to celebrate it at a cost of Rs. 200 million?" he questioned, stating that it is a crime against the people to waste this amount of money at a time of a grave economic crisis.
