I don’t focus on religion and ethnicity: Ranil
Colombo, September 12 (Daily Mirror) - I decided to contest for the presidency only to stabilize the economy and not to focus on religion or ethnicity, President Ranil Wickremesinghe told a public rally in the East.
"My focus is to focus on trade and agriculture and to stabilize the economy based on those sectors and not religion or ethnicity," Wickremesinghe told a rally in Sainthamaruthu and Kokavil.
He said he has been able to mete out justice to Muslims of this country by assuring their right to bury their dead." We will ensure the right to burial by the law, he said in this regard.
Whilst highlighting that presidential candidates such as Sajith Premadasa who offers everything free of charge won't have a chance, Mr. Wickremesinghe said he will create a better future for the people through a scientific plan to stabilize the nation.
He assured that Sri Lankans will be enjoying a better lifestyle in another year's time. "We have already managed to bring in some stability. The devaluation of the rupee is controlled now," he said.
"I remember visiting these areas in the East during the tsunami period. The area is much developed now compared to those days. We hope to develop the East further," he said.
