President Gotabaya Rajapaksa says that the SLPP was created to fulfill a need of this era and its ultimate goal is to accomplish the aspirations of the people.
The President made this remark by releasing a video message on the occasion of the fifth-anniversary ceremony of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) held at the Nelum Pokuna Theatre, today (02).
President Rajapaksa said that the vision of the SLPP is clear and therefore objectives are target-oriented, and the President also said that already an indelible role is being played in present in order to build a united, sovereign, and prosperous nation.
President Rajapaksa recalled that the then government, which had vowed the people to promote good governance, had not only deliberately undermined national security, a basic requirement of a country’s existence but had also opened the country to a massacre by creating an environment for extremist religious groups to nurture. President Rajapaksa said that national security, which was the main demand of the people of the country, had been established today and the existing mistrust and despair had been eradicated.
