The article is ti...By Bhikkhu Mandawala Pannawansa<br /><br />The article is timely!<br />The National Heroes are easily forgotten in our country.<br />This great National Hero made a history by introducing Free education to everyone in our country.<br />The UNP was not happy with him although he belonged to that party and the leftists were not happy about him because he was a UNPer!!!<br />In the election, he was easily defeated by a leftist and it is said that the UNP too helped the leftist man to defeat him.<br />I think the government has to take a decison to remind this great Hero to our children. In schools after the religious observances, an image or a photo of this national hero should be garlanded everyday!<br />Those closed to him know how he was suffering due to the injustices faced by him by doing the greatest service in the education field.<br />He died almost unattended!Mandawala Hamuduruvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15723925621473020131noreply@blogger.com
