The Sri Lankan government announced that the latest chapter of a Buddhist chronicle is to be printed and will contain details of the island’s armed conflict.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs, Wayamba Development and Cultural Affairs said the latest chapter of the Mahavamsa would cover from 1978 to 2010 and would examine the presidencies of J. R. Jayawardene, Ranasinghe Premadasa, Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga and Mahinda Rajapaksa.
Under Mr Rajapaksa, the Sri Lankan government had previously announced funding for 3 additional chapters dedicated solely to the former president, more than any of the predecessors in the text.
