Vijitha Herath, Member of Parliament for the National People’s Power and Campaign Secretary of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) said that Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa’s address to the nation yesterday did not provide a lasting solution to any of the country’s problems.
He stated this at a press conference held in Colombo today.
The Prime Minister raised various issues in his speech and tried to divert the attention of the people towards the real issues of the country. Everyone was expecting an answer to the economic crisis in the country.
However, with 60 years of political experience, the Prime Minister said that the problems currently facing the country have not been resolved. He went on to become a Pradeshiya Sabha member at the lower level.
Despite claiming 60 years of political experience, the whole country saw yesterday that he lacked that maturity. His speech focused on the war, the corona, the problems of the 88s and 89s.
It is now 13 years since the end of the war. There are currently issues that did not exist during the war. During the war, the country had no fuel, no gas, no milk lines, no power outages.
People are now facing problems that they did not face during the war. The people are facing these problems because of the short-sighted actions of the rulers.
The Prime Minister in his speech yesterday made an implicit threat to the President to save his brother. Showed false bouquets.
They show a false bouquet and try to hide it without proposing a solution to the problems. We tell the government not to continue playing this game.
The Prime Minister said that along with that the nation building has called for other parties. Together with their brother, sisters, children of Periyappa, the sons of Chittapamar and Chinnamma, they plundered our country, corrupted it with corruption and fraud and completely weakened the country’s economy.
The thieves were all released through the courts. When a ship loaded with garbage arrives from China and pays $ 6.9 million for that ship, don’t be afraid, people like Mahindananda said this ship will be replaced by another ship.
This is not compensation, he said, but the new ship that loaded the manure instead. That ship has not arrived until today. The country collapsed economically due to such measures.
They are calling on other parties to rebuild the country they have plundered and weakened. Vijitha Herath has said that it is not possible to rebuild a country where a family has fallen with that family.
