Sanath Jayasuriya |
Addressing a felicitation ceremony held in his honour by the people
of Matara opposite the historic Matara Bodhi premises, Jayasuriya said
he did not have the time to do politics despite many invitations made by
the people due to his hectic cricketing career.
He had now finally decided to do so because it was the duty of all
and sundry to assist the President in his efforts to rebuild this nation
as a pleasant place for all communities to live in.
Provincial Council members Aruna Gunaratne and Sarath Yapa and Matara
Pradeshiya Sabha member Lasantha Sanjeewa also spoke. |
