- 6 December 2024 AI summary Hon. Chrishantha Abeysena thanked voters in Gampaha, particularly Wattala and Ja-Ela, and paid tribute to JVP activists, student movements, and those defending free education and social justice. He argued that successive governments had undermined free education and neglected workers, farmers, and medical students, calling for urgent action to address staffing, clinical facilities, and academic standards in new medical faculties in line with Sri Lanka Medical Council requirements. He pledged that the NPP Government would pursue justice for Easter attack victims and work for national reconciliation based on equal rights beyond ethnic or religious divisions. As Minister of Science and Technology, he said Sri Lanka had underinvested in the sector, citing very low research and technology spending compared with other countries, and stressed the need to make science and technology central to economic development.
