Minister Prasanna Ranatunga says that the country exists in this manner because the present government came to power and if it had not been so, the country could have been completely destroyed.
“Today we have to pay for what the previous government did. However, as the President said, we will not give up when challenges arise, we will face these challenges and provide solutions to the problems of the people. This is nothing new to us. The Opposition behaved in the same manner during the war and is still doing so. So we do not blame it. We have shortcomings, there are mistakes. We will take action to rectify them ”
Minister Prasanna Ranatunga stated this while answering several questions raised by journalists yesterday (18).
