Minister Vijitha Herath informed the media that no political figures have been invited for the War Heroes Day Ceremony held in Battaramulla today.
He made the statement in response to questions on why former President Mahinda Rajapaksa had not been invited for the Victory Day commemoration.
”The President, Deputy Minister of Defence Aruna Jayasekara, Deputy Minister of Public Security Sunil Watagala, and the tri-forces will participate in the event. No others have been invited,” he said, addressing the post-Cabinet media briefing held today. (Newswire)
