The observation was made at a special event held at the Viharamahadevi Park in Colombo on Monday (3). The event was organised by the Bhikkhu Voice and the National Unity organisations.


“The election manifesto of the UNP has vowed to make Sri Lanka a new country. After the Northern and the North Eastern provinces are divided, rest of the land might be called the new country,” said Rajapaksa.


He also went into say that he would never allow any party to tear the country into pieces.


“We did not limit the development process to southern provinces. We wanted to treat all as equal,” he added.
