A heros welcome to President Rajapaksa Sri Lankas President Mahinda Rajapaksa received a heros welcome , at the Bandaranaike international airport, amidst the din of crackers all over the country. He returned to the island from Jordan after attending the G11 summit and World Economic Forum there. A visibly moved President, no sooner he got down from the plane, knelt down, kissed the mother earth - an act of paying obeisance to motherland Sri Lanka, which was ultimately freed from the scourge of terrorism. According to a spokesman, the reasons for the joyous celebrations were attributed to the victory of the Armed Forces marking the end of the 30 year war with the LTTE.
