Festivity in the Middle of the Road!

The brave warriors of Sri Lanka Army, navy and Air force are fighting a battle against terrorism in the northern part of our country these days and all Sri Lankans are waiting cautiously to know what is happening in war zone.

There were victories on its way to liberate the North and our brave soldiers have advanced further toward their target in success. Hail the victories!!

Our His Excellency the President takes these victories as means of public speech to give away the "happy news" to all Sri Lankans himself. I don't see anything wrong in this. H.E. the President should inform the people of this country what is really going on in the North, as its the only means of knowing what is happening in the North (whether true or false).

And I agree our people who love freedom from terrorists should get opportunities to celebrate these victories. But these celebrations should be not in ways of lighting crackers in the middle of so called highways in Sri Lanka! All towns were covered with smoke and white paper dust these evening proving the amount of fireworks that have been lit to celebrate these victories.

Dear Sri Lankans, have you already forgotten that behind these victories how many innocent families have lost their loved ones? Have you already forgotten how many soldiers sacrificed their lives for you to be safe in South? Have you forgotten how many are lying in their death beds at this moment?

Its time to think. The money you waste by lighting fireworks can help those people, families who are suffering from this war.

Yes we should celebrate! But in a meaningful way...
