It is a little over three years since we eliminated Prabhakaran and the whole country was rejoicing over the end of the war. He Past? A spurious sense of freedom and security exists in a set up where the healing and reconciliation process within the war locked areas and even in the rest of the country has not gathered the momentum expected at the conclusion of the war.

The present government must keep in focus that it was elected primarily for its agenda to promote good governance practices of which national reconciliation was and is an important component. Sri Lanka having emerged from a 30 year war is compelled to take effective steps to resolve the issues that brought about the conflict, the non -resolution of which led to the protracted war between the State and the minority communities.
