Sujani Fernando, who was one of the event’s organizers, said the incident sent a wrong impression of Sri Lanka. She added that fights happen in any culture and nationality.
“Sri Lankans are good people,” she said as quoted in the report. “It’s just a fight – fights happen, and kids fight. That happens in any culture, and any nationality, it doesn’t have to be Sri Lankans. We’re not that type of people.”
