Minister Pavitra Vanniarachchi said this while attending the women’s conference held at Colombo Sri Lanka Exhibition and Maha Mandapam yesterday (09) under the theme ‘Women are our strength’.
He recalled that because a leader like President Ranil Wickremesinghe was born in this country, such a fate did not happen to our country at that time and he said that it was President Ranil Wickremesinghe who formed the government and restored the country when the then president left the country. Minister Pavitra Vanniarachchi further addressing the conference,
“It must be said that today was a very special women’s meeting.
Although I have held women’s conferences before, this is the first time in my 32-year political career that I have participated in a multi-party women’s conference. Why are we together today? It doesn’t need conversations, debates, arguments. If we see the situation in Bangladesh on television, it is clear why we came together.
Demonstrators occupied the official residence of Bangladesh’s head of state and parliament.
More than 20 members of Parliament have been killed so far.
When watching the activities of those protestors on television, it is clear that something similar happened in our country on that day.
Bangladeshi protesters have torched tourist resorts and government buildings. The whole of Bangladesh has gone up in flames. In this situation, Bangladesh today is looking for a leader like President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
We did not face such a situation because this motherland had a leader like President Ranil Wickremesinghe. Also, when the former leader of the country left the country, it was President Ranil Wickremesinghe who established the government and restored the country without letting bloodshed in this motherland. Today, we as the women who take the right decisions in the country have united as one family for her success, putting aside the party color differences,” he said.
