(Lanka-e-News -20.July.2016, 11.30PM) While the racists by birth and extremists of the Jathika Hela Urumaya , and political pimps like Dilan Perera within the government are blabbering vociferously that the executive presidency shall be retained even ignoring the mandate of the government , the executive president of the country Maithripala Sirisena on the contrary reiterated clearly that the executive presidency shall be abolished and constitutional amendment shall be passed in respect of national reconciliation.
The president made these comments in Kilinochchi on the 18th when he was handing over the ownership of the vocational training center established with German aid to the people.
The president went on to say , if the Sinhalese Buddhist people in the South are to live in peace with happiness , then the issues of the other communities in the country should be understood with a view to finding solutions. Besides , all the communities should commit themselves to contribute towards national reconciliation.
It must be understood the people of the North are having issues , and all issues should be duly understood and resolved. Irrespective of the difficulties experienced when seeking to achieve national reconciliation , all those difficulties shall be overcome and reconciliation shall be accomplished , the president pointed out.
The groups that are trying to form new forces must learn new lessons regarding national peace and reconciliation , and work towards those goals . The groups that are forming new forces and political parties should be free from corruption and frauds , the president emphasized.
With a view to establishing national reconciliation, it must be made a subject in the school curriculum. Every University and every vocational training center should be made into a venue that promotes national reconciliation , the president exhorted.
As promised the executive presidency will be abolished , and the constitutional amendment will be introduced , the president said , thereby indicating he is a long lasting leader . The constitutional amendment is being introduced to promote harmony and reconciliation among the races , and not to create divisions , the president noted.
There are many who are propagating false stories that via reconciliation , the country is going to be divided in order to mislead the people , but those mischievous propaganda are not going to deter or daunt him , he added. The president therefore requested the people not to fall prey to those mischievous agendas and propagandas.
The president also said , the educated class including graduates are staging protests and demonstrations because of the flawed education system , which will soon be remedied .
