Speaking during a ceremony organized by Member of Colombo Municipal Council; (CMC) M.N. Manzil , Sirisena said his party will support anyone or any government which is committed to resolve issues faced by the people of Sri Lanka today without accepting ministries.
“ People of this country are affected by high prices of essential goods and services . Therefore these issues have to be resolved. We in the SLFP are ready to support any one or any government which is committed to resolve the current crisis. The incumbent President seems to be making an effort to resolve this crisis. Therefore we have decided to back him. However we will not accept any ministerial portfolios,” he said.
“ I was attacked by many over social media during my tenure as President of this country. However, people had no issues during my time. Essential goods were not expensive. People were able to live happily during that time. The only unfortunate thing that happened during my time was the Easter Sunday attacks. These attacks were carried out by Islamic terrorists. I would not let these attacks take place if I had prior knowledge. These terrorists have launched attacks in more than 50 countries. Even USA could not prevent the attacks in 2001.
