February 06, 2026

Resident Anura Kumara Dissanayake has acknowledged in his Independence Day speech that there have been victories and defeats in the post-independence 78 years rule.

Great! This is contrary to the rhetorical question "What have the governments after independence done to this nation?" raised in many political platforms.Many, including some intellectuals of this country, subscribe to the idea that the governments after independence did not do anything constructive to this nation. There is no truth in it at all.
