(Full text of the speech made by Comrade Somawansa Amarasinghe’s at the  ‘Che’ Commemoration organized by Socialist Youth Union (SYU) will be held at Viharamahadevi Open Air theater today (22nd) at 4.30 p.m.)

The open Air theater at Viharamahadevi Park is full of both male and female young comrades. The wind here too brings the fragrance of the youth today. (or has the wind become youthful seeing the energetic youth assembled here?) Despite the heavy rain you have assembled here to pay homage to Comrade Che Guevara. This rain is fine as it is a youthful rain. We would be very glad to get wet in this youthful rain!
