When the then leader of the Opposition, J R Jayewardene raised this matter in Parliament soon after the MPs were sworn in, Prime Minister Mrs. Bandaranaike gave the most bizarre answer, unbecoming of the high office she held. This lady of the Kandyan-Govigama-Radala-Buddhist upbringing answered with a deadpan face in that august assembly, the Temple of the People’s Will, “We should allow our people to celebrate this historic victory”. So the killings and destruction continued, at least for another two weeks. These are the forces that S W R D Bandaranaike unleashed in 1956-Sanga, Veda, Guru, Govi, Kamkaru! The flag bearers of the Land, the Race and the Faith(Rata, Deya Samaya)
