The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Sri Lanka has pointed out that all rulers are under the obligation to serve all the citizens in the country by putting them first not by political expediency but by principle.
In a statement, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Sri Lanka encouraged every stakeholder to help those who are severely affected by the financial difficulties.
What the country needs is an immediate solution to remedy the critical situation, it went on, adding that a system which ensures a secure, free country for the future generations to live in dignity and a sense of belonging to the motherland should be adapted.
It is incumbent on all citizens without exception to respect and uphold the rule of law that stem from the Constitution of the country and not seek immunity and act with impunity to ensure freedom of expression and movement, it added.
The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Sri Lanka emphasised that it expects the rulers and all responsible citizens to uphold values of their own religions and urged the people to pray without ceasing and invoke upon the motherland God’s abundant blessings.
