ගලා බසින ගංගාවෝ අපගේ සොහොයුරෝය ඔවුන් අපගේ ඔරුපාරු එහා 
මෙහා ගෙනයයි...සියැටෙල් නම් නොදියුනු යැයි හදුන්වන රතු ඉන්දියානු 
නායකයාගේ දියුනු ප්‍රකාශය ඔබට මතක ඇතුවා ඇත.මේ නොදියුනු මිනිසා 
කොතරම් නම් දියුනුද.මුදල්ම ජීවිතය කරගත් සමාජයේ ජීවත් වීමට වස්‍ය 
මූලිකම සාදකය වන හුස්ම පොද නොමිලේ දෙන සොබාදහාම් මාතාවට වින 
කැටීම ජාති ආගම් කෙසේ උවද අප සියලන්ටම වින කැටීමකි.මේ වනවිට 
ජාතික උරුමයක්ව පවතින විල්පත්තු වන මාතාව අපෙන් අයැද සිටින්නේ 
මිනිස්කම නොහදුනන කුරිරු අදමයන්ගෙන් ඇයව ගලවා දෙන ලෙසයි.
මෙතෙක් ඇය අපට මුලු ජීවයම ලාබා දුන්නේ කිසිදු ලාබයක් බලාපොරොත්තු 
නොවීමය අප සියලු දෙනා ඇය වෙනුවෙන් නැගී සිටිමු. Note and the pictures
from සංචාරකයාගේ සටහන් fb page.














We the undersigned would respectfully like to present to the leader of Qatar, his Excellency Sheik Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani,evidence that funds from Qatar (the site of the 2022 Football World Cup) are fuelling the illegal destruction of elephant habitat around Wilpattu National Park in Sri Lanka, in particular the Jassim City project (named after and funded by a charity that carries the name of the President of Qatar) (1) (2). This destruction started shortly after high level talks between the Kingdom of Qatar and the Government of Sri Lanka (3) (4). The Prime Minister of Qatar his Excellency Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani met with both the Sri Lankan President’s brother the Minister of Economic Development, Basil Rajapaksa, who incidentally also has the Ministry of Wildlife under his control, and the Minister of Trade and Commerce, Rishad Bathiudeen (3) (4). There have been denials regarding the destruction of elephant habitat by Minister Basil Rajapaksa and the Sri Lankan Minister of Wildlife Resources and Conservation Management, Gamini Vijith Vijayamuni de Zoysa as well as by Minister Rishad Bathiudeen, claiming instead that these are legal resettlement of people displaced by the Sri Lanka Navy (5)(6)(7). However, evidence of the illegal nature of the settlement around Wilapattu is overwhelming and this includes satellite pictures of habitat destruction, billboard from the settlement advertising the origins of the sponsor and denials from the Sri Lanka
