He added that the Government was envisaging to end terrorism as soon as possible and pave the way for peace and harmony in the country, Rajapaksa told Asian Tribune. “Prosperity will dawn for all communities in Sri Lanka,” he said.

He added that the Government intends to bring about a political solution soon, adding that the Government was awaiting the final constitutional
