Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Thank you, Sir.

¶ 02 If you intend to implement plans in future—even through an independent group basis—I, who won more votes in Jaffna’s Chavakachcheri than the national government’s tally there, am ready to extend full cooperation to the national government only for its good actions.

¶ 03 Due to recent rains, the pediatric ward of Jaffna Teaching Hospital had water standing up to waist level; it is the only teaching hospital there. Hence, for efficient construction going forward in Jaffna, even as someone averse to politics but sent into it, I will assist the Government’s work without expecting any return, as much as I can. Whether I remain in politics after five years, I do not know. Thank you.
