Open letter to PM Modi
The Island
|April 04, 2025
Dear Sir,
-
We warmly welcome you as a friend of Sri Lanka and as a global leader. We recall with deep gratitude the immense support you gave us during numerous crises. Most recently the supply of essential drugs and vaccines during Covid and the large amount of aid to overcome the economic crisis. We thank you and your great nation which continues to support SL to enable us to live in dignity. While accepting your assistance at times of need with deep gratitude, we humbly suggest you to consider the spiritual leadership you and your nation could offer.
You are now leading a great nation, which gave the world three of the greatest leaders of peace: Gautama Buddha, Emperor Ashoka and Mahatma Gandhi.
A common thread which links all these great human beings is their uncompromising renunciation of violence which is a radical call against war. It is radical because they refused to respond to violence with violence.

The folly of imported ignorance: Why Sri Lanka must reject the foreign anti-vaccine delusion
For decades on end, Sri Lanka has stood as a global beacon of public health success. Our nation's commitment to comprehensive, routine immunisation has cultivated a shield against catastrophic diseases, resulting in one of the highest vaccination coverage rates in the world. This is a profound, hard-won victory, achieved through the diligent work of our healthcare professionals and the commonsense trust of the people of our nation.

Elusive unity in crisis
'Hope is said to 'spring eternal'. So, when the Opposition urged President Anura Kumara Dissanayake to declare a state of emergency and offered to cooperate with the government on disaster management, many may have thought that the NPP and its political rivals would sink their political differences and unite for the sake of the country. But the government and the Opposition went for each other's jugular soon afterwards.
