As a preliminary step, it was reported that a program to build harmony between the representatives of the Tamil diaspora against the Eelam ideology and the Maha Sangha is currently underway.

The government has planned to implement this new program with the objective of getting the support of the Tamil diaspora expedited for development activities in the country.

“The members of the Maha Sangha have made a great contribution to build national harmony since the time of the kings. The Tamil diaspora and other people living abroad who value peace and reconciliation are also invited to join these talks. All the necessary facilities will be provided,” Ven. Hemarathana Thera said.The Thera said that he will fully support the activities to protect the rights of the citizens who love this country without any political interference.

“A large number of people left the country during the war. We should create the necessary environment to live in harmony by preventing such conflicts from happening again,” Samathanam said.

Ada Derana, Esana are lying – Thilini Priyamali (Video)

Colombo businesswoman – Thilini Priyamali has accused media stations such as  ‘Ada Derana’ and ‘Esana’ of publishing distorted news about her without checking facts.

In a voice clip, she was referring to media reports over a court case involving her, which was taken up by the Colombo High Court today (05).

She explains that the particular case was filed by one Samith Anurudda, who was her boyfriend back in 2013, over the sale of a vehicle which had gone awry.

Noting that her ex-boyfriend is now demanding a sum of Rs. 6.8 million in a case filed at the High Court, she points out that the figure of 08 million reported by these media stations is wrong.

“I didn’t appear before the court because I was ill. The sum is Rs. 6.8 million… Not  08 million. Why is the responsible media of the country lying like this?,” she asks.

“Under the guise of reporting, they are portraying me as an offender,” she adds.

The voice clip of Thilini Priyamali is as follows :
