Association fetes Minister Mervyn Silva:

Minister Mervyn Silva addressing the gathering said organizations like the All Ceylon Independent Volunteer Association are a truly need to foster understanding and trust among various sections of society.

The activities of organizations of this nature were a challenge to the Tamil Diaspora abroad who are trying to undermine Sri Lanka’s unity and territorial integrity.

He said people of all communities are part and parcel of Sri Lanka having the same blood running through their veins and no one would be allowed to drive a wedge among people of different communities living in this country again.

He thanked the Sinhalese, Muslims and Tamils who ensured him a convincing victory from the Gampaha District at the recent General Elections.

President’s Co-ordinating Director Sampath Tennekoon addressing the gathering said he has associated with many politicians including Ministers and Parliamentarians throughout his career and Minister Mervyn Silva can be considered as an outstanding personality adept at finding instant solutions to people’s problems by overcoming all challenges.

Association Secretary Yassar addressing the gathering said Sri Lanka has now transferred into a united nation where people of all communities can live in friendship and unity. And as such promotion of understanding and co-operation among social groups was a timely need.

Their organization would work towards this objective under the direction of their President Niyas Mowlavi, he said.
