Deepavali greetings from President
President Mahinda Rajapaksa extending his Deepavali greetings to all Sri Lankan Hindus on the occasion of Deepavali, said the festival, a significant event in the Hindu religious calendar celebrates prosperity and spreads light of wisdom.
It symbolises the victory of good over evil and knowledge over ignorance, he said.

We Tamils can celebrate Deepavali in the south with peace. But our brothers and sisters in the North are Suffering at the hands of all due to bombardments.
Now who is to be blamed for such acts? If LTTE was not there, their would have been peace all over and ALL TAMILS in SRI LANKA could have lived in peace and hormony along with the majority without the issue of ethnic clensing done by the LTTE!
