Rajapaksa ad says Tamils are happy about IA at Hambantota
[TamilNet, Wednesday, 13 March 2013, 16:26 GMT]
While even the flights to India from the Palaali airport became
non-operational for the last 35 years, a newspaper advertisement of
Colombo government in Sinhala this week showed a person dressed as a
Tamil father, standing against a background of palmyra palms, telling
that he is ‘happy’ about the Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport at
Hambantota, since his son has found a job there. When the Sinhalese
workforce brought from the South are grabbing every single job in new
infrastructure projects in the North-East and while the Tamil lands are
kept under military occupation, the state propaganda paints a picture of
a 'Happy Tamil' who even manages to get jobs at the development
projects in the deep south, commented media sources in the island.
A day full of happiness - A blooming future:
“After
a war which dragged on for many years, we all are now living happily.
The happiness increased when my eldest son got a job at Mattala
Rajapaksa International Airport. What else there to be happy about other
than seeing our children living peacefully in the country? I am
planning to go there soon with my son to have a look at the new airport
and its' surroundings.”
