Whilst highlighting that some international forces might want to keep Sri Lanka as a weak state UNP MP Vajira Abeywardene yesterday said an all party government is essential to defeat these agendas.   

Speaking during a UNP meeting in Galle, MP Abeywardene said all parties should get together to defeat the desires of some international forces. These desires he said could be harmful to Sri Lanka.   

“ All parties should get together to defeat the efforts of some international forces to harm Sri Lanka,” he said.   

“ It is also essential to fulfill the needs of the youth who have led recent protests all over the nation. However they should be dealt with if they take up arms,” the MP said.  Referring to the mini budget which will be presented to Parliament, Abeywardene said it will mainly focus on tax reforms. “ Mini budget will not focus on construction of roads or buildings but will only focus on tax reforms,” he said.
