'Leadership will not bow down to pressure'

The country's leadership which did not succumb to foreign pressures during the war will not bow down to such pressures during the post war period either said Construction, Engineering Services, Housing and Common Amenities minister Wimal Weerawansa.

The minister said so addressing a series of meetings after inaugurating several 'Jana Sevana' housing schemes in Padaviya, Urewa, Omarkada, Kambiliwewa and Konwewa areas in Anuradhapura district on Tuesday. Minister Weerawansa who said that undue foreign pressures had not halted even after the conclusion of the war against terrorists, added that certain politicians representing separatism had visited the United States and met the UN Secretary General and US Secretary of State requesting them to exert pressure on Sri Lanka on behalf of them. The minister said politicians fanning separatism were trying various means to exert pressure on Sri Lanka through foreign channels but President Mahinda Rajapaksa and the government would never kneel down to such undue pressures.

Thanking people of the terrorist threatened villages for not abandoning their areas during the height of the LTTE threat, Minister Weerawansa said on the President's initiative the 'Jana Sevana' one million houses project started by his ministry has focused special attention towards homeless families in these former threatened villages as a mark of gratitude towards their patriotism.

Child Development and Women's Affairs Minister Tissa Karaliyadda said on the instructions of the President the government has launched several programmes to develop former threatened villages and provide all facilities needed by the residents.
