Congratulations Harin. You are the one who turned the table for UNP to come back. UNPers will never forget it and we are really indebted to you. Other in the UNP should never forget the sacrifice you made also to unite the party and start winning.

Estimates of time schedules are estimates. May be instead of 100 days, the good things promised are done in 150 days, I will be happy. After 5 years, please take it easy for a few months.
