Country needs solid national security policy – Patali
A solid national security policy is a top priority for Sri Lanka, Megapolis and Western Development Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka said.
Minister Ranawaka made this observation participating in a Mega Minds programme held at Kurunegala recently. “Our educated voters are focused on four main components, which are, national security, economy, society and environment,” Ranawaka observed.
“There are two main important features when we talk about national security. The first one is security operations and the other is policies and strategies on national security. Mostly, the focus is only on security operations. However, most important for a country is its national security policies.”
“To design such advanced national security policies, we need intelligent policy developers who can create policies incorporating advanced technologies,” Minister Ranawaka said.
“Our policies on national security should go parallel with our economic policies, international policies and trade policies. We are going to present an all-encompassing national security policy for this country on October 21. This national security policy is designed with the contribution of experienced military and defense experts such as Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka,” Ranawaka further said.

HIs Megapolis is only laying a foundation stones. Where do you get these wankers I don’t know.
So why hasn’t anything like this materialised so far?
Firstly, they should look closely at the ministers in parliament who are a threat to our national security, as they are Trojan horses, and not to be trusted.
Secondly, any existing policies that threaten our sovereignty and/or unity need to be changed. This includes any proposals to devolve power or land. All Sri Lankans have the right to live anywhere in our island, including the northern and eastern provinces.
Border control; air and sea. should be strictly controlled.
Valid visas should be obtained prior to arrival to Sri Lanka. ( If tourists cannot afford $35, then they are unlikely to afford a holiday here!)
Illegal immigrants need to be deported back swiftly, with harsh financial penalties.
Intelligence needs to be improved and acted upon.
Our forces should be supported, and applauded, not vilified for political gain.
With the correct leaders, and people who love their country above wealth and power, we can achieve Minister Patali’s goals!
Megapolis, Mega minds but shoddy works.
