Today, the Catholic Church questioned what freedom there is to celebrate with pride when the country has experienced a great economic decline.
The country’s economy has collapsed! The rule of law has collapsed! Malnourished children! Industries collapsed! Human rights are violated! People’s freedom has been destroyed! Patients are in danger without medicine! The country is bankrupt! When that is the case, what is the proud freedom to celebrate by spending crores of rupees? Father Cyril Gamini mentioned in a press conference today.
Therefore, he said that no one from the Catholic Church will join the Independence Festival.
