Sri Lanka's Prime Minister warned the country's citizens to be mindful of 'anti-government elements' and urged them to 'protect the government' against this danger.
Jayaratne, addressing a crowd gathered to witness new appointments to the Sri Rohana Sanghasabha, went on to state that the import of substandard cement and petrol to the country was also the work of these elements, who he claimed were engaged in a conspiracy to destroy Sri Lanka's economy.
"When the government is attempting to re-build the war-torn country, the anti-government elements are attempting to create a world opinion against President Mahinda Rajapaksa and his government."
"The people must understand this danger and protect the government.”
