Despite receiving no support from the opposition, the government has successfully completed the debt restructuring program, and it will be officially announced in the coming days,” President Ranil Wickremesinghe said.
President Ranil Wickremesinghe made these remarks while addressing the “Together We Win – Api Gampaha” rally in Kadawatha on Sunday.
Stating that even though he sought support from the opposition, the President said neither of the two opposition groups provided the necessary support.
“I worked not for personal gain but for the country’s benefit. However, neither the SJB nor the JVP provided the necessary support. While travelling around the world, they urge not to support us,” President Wickremesinghe said.
“The future of our country cannot be determined solely by political agendas. I will not allow that. Politics should align with the country’s needs; otherwise, our country has no future. We must advance as a proud nation, making meaningful changes rather than issuing false promises,” he noted.
President Wickremesinghe emphasized that the country’s progress should not be driven by political agendas but by a shared vision for national development.
“I invite Sajith Premadasa and Anura Dissanayake to join us in this effort. Let’s embark on this journey together,” he said, extending an invitation to the Opposition party leaders.
Representing the people of Gampaha district, Minister Prasanna Ranatunga proposed that President Wickremesinghe should stand as the presidential candidate in the upcoming election.
The event saw the participation of over 15,000 attendees including 26 Ministers and MPs and 250 former local government members of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna. (Newswire)
