Prabhakaran will have to pay for attacking Dalada Maligawa- President

In a few days, Prabhakaran will have to pay compensation for attacking the Dalada Maligawa and the Sri Maha Bodhi, said President Mahinda Rajapaksa addressing a UPFA rally at Getambe in Kandy.

No force on earth would stop the dynamic march of the Nation today, he added.

The large crowd that is attending this rally is a testimony to the historic victory that the UPFA would get in the forthcoming Provincial Council election, the President said.

This is not an ordinary election. This is an election which would strengthen the historic victory that war heroes are giving to the nation.

This election will decide whether we could carry forward the victory of the war heroes or not, added the President.

The President promised the people of Kandy that he would restore everything they lost in 1815. In addition to the development of the city, we would also uplift the moral standards of the population, the President emphasised.

We have allocated millions of rupees to develop the up-country. Our development plans would benefit 1.7 million families. We have developed hospitals including those at Naula, Dambulla, and Rikillagaskada.

We have provided computer facilities to over 250 schools in the Central Province. Over 6,000 Tamil medium teachers have been appointed to the estate schools.

The President asked the people to look at these developments and vote for the batal leaf symbol on February 14.
