Transport, Highways and Mass Media Minister Dr. Bandula Gunawardhana stated that only President Ranil Wickremesinghe can eradicate the deadly and violent politics from the country.
The Minister said this while addressing a public rally held yesterday (15) at the Waga, Ihala Maimbula area.
The Minister addressing the rally further said, “For two or three decades, we have experienced the unpleasant sound of clashing iron, the unpleasant smell of bullets, suffering and death. In recent history, a lot of priceless human lives have been lost due to the violent politics of the North and the South. We are MPs who came to represent the Parliament during the 1989 terror period. After the end of the era of terror, the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna gradually behaved well in the democratic flow. They never indulged in violence. In the last elections, they behaved well as those who have observed ‘Sil’.
“But this behaviour was proved to be an act when looking at the anti-democratic struggle that took place on May 9, 2022. And now these people are trying to turn Sri Lanka into a country engulfed by chaos like Bangladesh.
“Bangladesh was a very well governed country. But because of the strugglers like in Sri Lanka, they have fallen into a deep precipice today. It is becoming a country without water, gas, oil and electricity. Foreign investors have withdrawn 251 of their companies.
“If you do not want Sri Lanka to inherit that insecurity, then on September 21, someone like Ranil Wickremesinghe should be elected as President. President Ranil Wickremesinghe brought this country on the path of safety during the last two years and he is now strengthening your economy and the country’s economy. He must be given the mandate this time to further secure the future of you and your children.”
