"Government officers should fulfill the people's requirements without
restricting to administrative rules and regulations. If any allegations
are made against a person who bears a top position, he should resign
from his post," he said."There is a section who act on the false
information given by some people and a number of officials living in
Colombo and the suburbs. However, the majority trust the President. Some
are launching propaganda campaigns against Sri Lanka. We should always
try to safeguard our country," he said.The Prime Minister said if
someone discredits the country, it will destroy the future of the
children.
"All should think of the country and work for the country's uplift,"
he said. |
