India trying
its ’ 87
pranks again – JVP
India violated the territorial
sea and air space of Sri Lanka in 1987 when the army was
defeating the LTTE terrorists during the Vadamarachchi
Operation. It was once again trying to stop the
victories of the armed forces as it did during the time
President J. R. Jayawardene was in power. At that time
India made him sign the Indo Lanka Accord and accept the
Provincial Council System, JVP parliamentarian and trade
union leader K. D. Lalkantha said yesterday (30).

Sixteen-year-old
Praneeth Chathuranga Bombuwalage who has represented
his school in athletics and rugger is suffering from
acute myeloid leukaemia and is under treatment at the
Anura dhapura General Hospital. Medical experts said
that this disease could be cured at an Indian
hospital. According to doctors, around Rs. 4 million
would be needed for treatment in India.
Sri
Lanka turns sixty this Monday, February 4th. It has been in a
single stage (albeit with many phases) of history from the
year it turned 35, in 1983. For the past quarter century its
destiny has been determined by the secessionist war. Now at
sixty, the long war approaches its decisive peak, a highest
stage of intensity which therefore also marks its last stage.
First the people's
representatives in our law-making bodies are all given guns
though only one may proudly wave it in front of TV crews to
show that the law of the land has given him the power to blow
up anybody and everybody who is against him.
However
in a couple of Asian countries including India’s
northeast states, dogs and cats are eaten. This is not
for nutrition but for the most bizarre reasons
including the foolish belief that dog meat
enhances sexual potency. Sometimes it is eaten out of
superstition or even as a cure for tuberculosis!
"Why is it so difficult for graduates to get jobs when
there is a brain drain in the country? Why should they
be the ones protesting, sitting on the streets trying
to make the government find employment for them. It
must be very disappointing and demoralising for them
not to be able to find jobs after studying hard to
secure seats in universities, which are limited, and
then going through financial difficulties to complete
their education, as the majority often do as they are
from poor families from rural areas."
The conclusion of the seventh annual presentation
of Ceylinco ‘Pranama’ Scholarships by Ceylinco Life
has brought the number of scholarships awarded by the
life insurance leader to 857.
World cricket authorities have caved in to the game's
financial superpower, India, and Cricket Australia has incurred
the wrath of its own Test players by pressuring them to drop a
racial slur charge against Harbhajan Singh.
The Sri Lankans won by four wickets with 18 overs to spare
after the locals failed to offer a decent target, scoring just
152 before being bowled out in 38 overs.
