President Gotabaya Rajapaksa says it is his hope and expectation that all citizens, without any discrimination, will join the Sinhala and Tamil New Year celebrations with fresh hopes, determination, tender and righteous thoughts.
“To welcome the dawn of the Sinhala and Tamil New Year with fresh hopes and renewed determination to materialize them is a valuable tradition deeply rooted in our culture,” President Rajapaksa said in his message for Sinhala and Tamil New Year.
He recalled that the adverse health conditions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic prevented the Sri Lankans from celebrating last year’s Sinhala and Tamil New Year.
