National People’s Power (NPP) Presidential Candidate Anura Kumara Dissanayake said the NPP intends to make the country a place where everyone could live in unity and harmony.
He emphasised this while addressing the NPP election rally in Sainthamaruthu recently. Dissanayake further said, “These ruling clans have ruled our country for a long time. The country and the people fell into poverty. Rulers rose, and the country fell. Let us win the Presidential Election on September 21 and form an NPP government to build this country.
“The NPP’s victory in this election is certain. All the Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims living in the South have joined hands with the NPP. What is the decision of the Muslim people living in Sainthamarathu? As you are responding positively, the victory of the NPP is certain.
“We are a country where Sinhalese, Tamil, Muslim, Malay and Burghers live, a country that believes in many religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Christianity and a country where people speak two main languages, Tamil and Sinhala.
“Our country is a country with many cultures. The Sinhalese have a unique culture of their own. Tamils have a unique culture of theirs, and Muslims have their own unique culture. Therefore, the future of this country exists only when there is unity among these diverse groups of people. As such, the government of the NPP will give you the right to practice your religion and the right to speak your language. Creating a free country that accepts your cultural identity is the hope of the NPP.”
