While other countries in the world are moving forward day by day with their achievements, Sri Lanka was going in the opposite direction as the parties did not work together, and that historical mistake should be corrected by uniting everyone for the country’s progress, said President Ranil Wickremesinghe, during his visit to Anuradhapura to engage in religious rites and pay homage to the Chief Sanghanayake of the North Central Province, Dr. Most Venerable Nugathenne Pannananda Thero at the Sambuddha Jayanthi Maha Vihara Temple yesterday (20).
During his visit to the historic city of Anuradhapura, the President also paid homage to Chief Incumbent of the Jethavanarama Vihara Temple Most Venerable Ihala Halmillewe Ratanapala Thero, Chief Administrator of the Abhayagiriya Rajamaha Vihara Temple Rajakeeya Pandit Venerable Kallanchiye Ratanasiri Thero, and Chief Incumbent of the Isurumuniya Rajamaha Vihara Temple Dr. Venerable Mathawa Sumangala Thero and obtained their blessings.
The Maha Sangha delivered blessings for the successful administration of the country and wished the President the strength and the courage to provide solutions to the burning problems of the people of the country.
