A sound knowledge of all three languages, Sinhala, Tamil and English would be indispensable for peace, harmony and mutual understanding among the people of the country, Youth Affairs and Skills Development Minister Dullas Alahapperuma said.

He was addressing a meeting having vested the Horagoda-Pangoda road water supply project with the people at Horagoda, Tellijjawila recently. Minister Alahapperuma said the government has implemented massive water supply schemes in the Matara district spending billions of rupees.

The Mahinda Chintana National development policy has extended the priority for rural infrastructural development.

Those who are politically bankrupt are attempting to gain their ulterior motives even through sinister support of international conspirators. Protest campaigns organized by those traitors will never block the progressive march towards sustainable economic development, he said.

The people of the country have trust and confidence in President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

It has been proved through the clear mandate given to him at the last presidential poll.

No other State leader in Sri Lanka had received such a mandate for the second time at an election, the Minister said.

The Prime duty and the responsibility of the people would be to extend the support to President Mahinda Rajapaksa and safeguard him against national and international conspirators, he added.

Southern Provincial Council Member Manoj Sirisena said financial allocations made by Minister Dullas Alahapperuma contributed to complete the water supply project.
