26 March 2013The government has taken steps to provide the people with everything they need, except the lives lost during the three decades of terrorism, President Mahinda Rajapaksa (Pic)said.
The President said so during an observation tour of the Deyata Kirula National Development Exhibition site yesterday.
“Sri Lanka is the motherland for all communities. But during the terror period, people fled their native places fearing for their lives. Such a miserable situation will not occur again since the brutal terrorism has been eradicated by the government. All communities are now living freely without any fear,” the President said.
The President visited several stalls including the stalls of the Economic Development, Mass Media and Information, Transport and other ministries. President Rajapaksa also visited the stalls of the Security Forces including Civil Security Force and the Special Task Force.
Addressing the newly recruited graduates, the President said it is their duty to serve the poor people in the country.
