No War Victory This Year

Considering the reconciliation efforts taken by the Government, unlike in other years war victory will not be celebrated this year. Instead there will be a memorial service at the war tomb constructed in Parliamentary Grounds under the leadership of President , Maithreepala Siresana on 18th May 2016. Prime Minister and other ministers will participate in this memorial service. Instead of spending considerable amount of  money in organizing exhibition in connection with the war victory, saved money will be spent on welfare of war affected soldier’s families.
