An observation has reportedly been made by Minister Kabir Hashim to finalise an agreement for building a bridge connecting India and Sri Lanka, Pivithuru Hela Urumaya leader Udaya Gammanpila says.
The observation was made while speaking at a press conference held in Colombo this afternoon (04).
According to Gammanpila, the observation was made while the minister was responding to a cross question asked by a reporter recently in Indonesia.
He pointed out there is a possibility Sinhalese of losing their motherland if this proposal comes a reality,
“The number of unemployed persons in India is over 50 million. There is no way we would be able to stop them from coming here looking for jobs,” he added.
He also vowed to take actions to “blow up” the bridge if it is built for the sake of Sri Lankans.
