President calls for working people’s support
to end terrorism |
|
|
|
We have to defend our country from terrorism
and create an environment for everybody to
live in peace in any part of the country,
said President Mahinda Rajapaksa addressing
the Golden Jubilee Ceremony of the
Employee’s Provident Fund (EPF) held at the
Bandaranaike Memorial International
Conference Hall (BMICH) yesterday (11).
He appealed to the working people to support
the government’s struggle to end terrorism
and usher in peace.
Reminding the audience that the EPF was
established by a Government led by the SLFP
fifty years ago, the President said that his
Government is committed to defend the rights
of the working people and their welfare.
While affirming the government’s commitment
to defend the working people the President
called upon them to struggle for their
rights while being conscious of their duties
to the country and the people. He
particularly advised them never use children
as a shield to win their demands.
