Sad state of affairs, still the President nor the PM got the guts to tell that the National Anthem will be sung in both languages. State of SL politics - RACISTS!

Cancel or postpone celebration. This is fundamental in curtailing spread of corona. Where are the preventive disease doctors to tell the health minister.
