Only place no Vesak in Sri Lanka was temple trees. MR used to have pirith every poya days when he was
there. New incumbent is a die-hard catholic, token Buddhist pol pot ponil. Instead he had a concert with
his buddy ravi shankar. That was while most of the country several feet of water and scores of people
dead/missing. Where are those Sinhala traitors who voted for this tom pachaya?
