The Sri Lankan President on Tuesday said only the Sri Lankan Freedom Party (SLFP) could free the country as it was created to establish national freedom and protect national heritage, reports Colombo Page.
Addressing crowds gathered to celebrate the 63rd anniversary of the SLFP, Mahinda Rajapaksa said the party had “historic heritage” from the Uva province where battles were fought for “freedom of the country” and deemed the party as the only way to “consolidate freedom for the whole nation.”
Rajapaksa went on to highlight an increase in the country’s federal reserves and economic growth since the ruling United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) coalition, of which the SLFP is a main constituent, came to power.
