Male Announcer: News First, Sri Lanka HUNGER STRIKE Despite its 26 year history of civil war, Sri Lanka is essentially a peaceful country. What else would explain that while other nations indulge in first strikes, second strikes, air strikes and nuclear strikes, our politicians resort to hunger strikes, raging war on the emotional psyche of the country. The most recent being the NFF leader, Wimal Weerawansa who called off his eight day hunger strike. In 2010, the same Weerawansa undertook a fast unto death campaign, which he also called off. Perhaps he ran out of lemon puffs. But here at News First, our reporters never go on a news fast, reporting round the clock, feeding your constant hunger to know. NEWS FIRST: We report, you decide.
