Defence
Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa invited the people, who make baseless
allegations against Sri Lanka, to visit the country and see the peace
the masses were enjoying.
The Defence Secretary said so participating in the opening ceremony of Thoppigala Heritage Park at Thoppigala Thursday.
Addressing
the media, he said the people who tarnish the good image of the country
have to get a clear picture about the achievements of the country after
it was liberated from the three decade terrorism.
"The
entire country is experiencing peace dividends after the eradication of
terrorism, which brought devastation to the whole country. Owing to the
peaceful situation achieved after much effort, the Sinhala, Tamil and
Muslim people are living in harmony. Hence, without destroying the
ethnic harmony and the image of the country making baseless allegations,
those engaged in these activities, are duty bound to assist the
people-friendly activities of the country," Secretary Rajapaksa said.
He said
in line with the overall development drive of the country, the areas
subjected to much devastation have been placed on a rapid development
track. The Thoppigala Heritage park complex contains educational
theatres, a conservation heritage centre, an environment study centre, a
souvenir shop and a campsite area among others. A memorial has also
been set up to honour those who died while fighting for the country.
