Highest priority for fostering inclusiveness and removing bitterness
Highest priority is given to fostering inclusiveness and removing remnants of bitterness from the hearts of our people, President Mahinda Rajapaksa said addressing the 66th session of the United Nations General Assembly at New York today (September 23).
“As important as economic development is we have attached the highest priority
for fostering a spirit of inclusivity and removing any remnants of bitterness from the hearts and minds of our people.” he said.
He also stressed that contrary to “malicious propaganda,” the armed forces are today engaged in the development of infrastructure in the Northern Province, which was destroyed by the terrorists.
The numbers of the armed forces present in the Northern Province is at a minimal level, President Rajapaksa stated in his speech, which commenced at around 8.30pm Sri Lankan time today.

A truly magnificent speech which only our Hon President can deliver! We hail you as a great President, our hero.
CBK was a stooge of the imperial West, when she was President. Her speech was written for her by Norway which she read out slavishly. What a shame! Let her remain under the stone she crawled under for good.
The stress is manifested in the Leader’s face.
There were only 8 of the over 600 participants present in the UN Chamber to listen to the Voharadhipathi’s empty speech which betrayed his dishonesty.
It is terrible to have a war crime, genocide court case filed against Sri Lanka’s Deputy UN Representative whilst the country’s leader was attempting to lecture the world on human rights.
C’mon Leader, come back home; that’s where you belong. You can lecture to Minister Mervyn Silva and Kudu Duminda. They will listen to you. The sycophants will continue singing hossanas and you are the KING.
You did use your political nous to kill the UNP. Now Somawansa is falling apart; if you use your nous there, maybe you can kill the JVP. And then, dear King, you can be the KING forever.
Sir, please leave overseas people alone. They cannot understand you. They don’t want you too. They are allergic to your kurakkan satakaya. You are best in Sri Lanka and your only competition and challenge is Ranil. So if you stick to our shores you will live long, my dear King.
Omar Bashir has a similar life too.
Excellent advice by Julian.
President Sir, you have a lot of support and admiration in our country. You are the hero to not only all the singhalese people but the tamils and muslims too.
You are the King to ex LTT leaders, Karuna, KP, Pillaiyan and Devananda. Even the guy causing trouble to your last living enemy, Somawansa, is a tamil.
So, President Sir, stick to our country where you are a beloved leader.
Omar Bashir is a war criminal who caused genocide as proven in the the white man’s courts in the Hague. Omar is very popular in his country and the UN helped in getting rid of all undesirable, troublemaking Southern Sudanese from Omar’s Kingdom. The only problem is that Omar can’t step outside his country.
Likewise, you too should stay within your kingdom where it is very safe.
Please Sir, don’t attempt to rub shoulders with leaders of white countries. Maybe the are allergic to your kurakkan satakaya as Julian says.
So President Sir, stay in our country and avoid all this rubbish court cases and arrest warrants.
