The Government took only two years to end 30 year terrorism. Economic constraints faced by the people would come to an end in two or three years with the assistance of the people, good Governance and Infrastructure Senior Minister Ratnasiri Wickramanayake said.

He said, Sri Lanka is a country that will not interfere with the internal crisis of other countries. Many other countries don't interfere with internal matters of Sri Lanka.

Countries which have been interfering are requested not to meddle with internal matters, Senior Minister Rathnasiri Wickramanayake said at a meeting held at Kirigalahena, Horana recently.

An electrification scheme was commissioned at Kirigalahena at a cost of Rs 22.4 million.

The project provides electricity to more than 500 families in the area.

Wickramanayake said the country imports every essential food item from other countries, it will affect local producers.

He said "If we are ready to purchase and depend on imported items we will never become self-sufficient".

The Government will not provide temporary solutions. It is certain that the people will achieve a bright future in two years.

He said the country has internal and external enemies. They are not given opportunities to divide the country and create terrorism.

The Government appreciates constructive criticism. If any political party, criticises the country without responsibility will adversely affect the country.

Friends and enemies should be distinguished. Enemies will act as friends putting the country into a chaotic situation.

Kalutara District MP Vidura Wickramanayake also spoke.
