The Hon. K.V. Samantha Viddyarathna - Minister of Plantation and Community Infrastructure
The Minister stated that longstanding issues affecting the plantation community had remained unresolved for 76 years. He assured Parliament that, during the Government’s five-year term under President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, it would seek to advance fundamental rights and improve conditions for these citizens as equal Sri Lankans, even if all problems cannot be fully resolved.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I will conclude briefly. We appreciate that for 76 years these issues remained unresolved. I assure you that within our five-year term, even if we cannot solve every problem, we will go beyond what was done in those 76 years—granting fundamental rights and uplifting these citizens as equal Sri Lankan brothers and sisters under President Anura Kumara Dissanayake. Thank you.
