President Mahinda Rajapaksa charged that opposition parties were attempting to jeopardize the relationship between Sri Lanka and friendly countries by spreading disinformation about Sri Lanka.

“Opposition parties are attempting to do this because they are unable to find any other fault with regard to the development projects undertaken by the Government,” he expressed these views at the opening of the Palavi- Kalpitiya Road on Sunday.

The President accused the opposition political parties of criticising and undermining the moves taken by the government for the welfare and benefit of the people.

“But the opposition has not succeeded in its attempts because of the faith people have in the Government. People trust the government as it has done so much for them. But they should be vigilant enough to thwart these attempts by the opposition,” he said.(DS)
