Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Leader of the Opposition, I understand your point. As H.E. the President also said yesterday, we are prepared for any adverse situation, but we must work to turn this in a positive direction—an optimistic approach. Do not try to make this into a bomb; this is a situation the nation must face together. We are all ready.

¶ 02 Thank you.
