The Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa said that in many cases, the victories and fame of this country were achieved by the younger generation.
He said that the youth of any country is the key factor in determining the future of that country and it is very important to manage that youth properly.
“Youth represent a quarter of Sri Lanka’s population and we have a large number of heroes who have conquered the world through sports,” he said.
The Leader of the Opposition said that Induka Devi Kanesh, who brought fame to Sri Lanka through the sport of kickboxing today, was born in Vavuniya and he hopes that she would bring more fame to this motherland with gold.
