Mr.  Herath said that the desired targets could not be achieved by the  government even at the disposal of such a colossal amount of public  money.        “The President also did not attend the event. Leading starts such as  Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai did not also come. We  do not oppose a grand festival being held. Yet, the government must be  able to achieve the desired objectives. This festival is like a wedding  without the bride and the groom. They have spent Rs. 600 million for the  occasion alone. It is not money that is well-spent,” he said.-DailyMirror</blockquote>
