UNP MP Sajith Premadasa during his meeting with his Eminence Malcom Cardinal Ranjith today said that he champions the cause of development oriented politics. He said that believes in the empowerment of people in socio-economic spheres irrespective of caste, creed, ethnic, religious or any other differences. 

After the meeting with the Cardinal, Mr. Premadasa told Daily Mirror that he believes in the principle that praise should be given where it is due despite political differences.

“I praise anyone when it is due though or he or she is my political opponent.  I will be constructively critical of his or her wrongs, and put forward alternative proposals,” he said. (Kelum Bandara)

    poor but rich Monday, 27 December 2010 12:09 PM

    Hi Sajith, Do these guys know the meaning of this.....??? They don't bellive in the basic principals of Life then how can they accept this.

    What I am impressed most is identification his father's short comings and taking care to avoid those. He is willing to keep Ranil and even Ravi in good books. He is the future of Sri Lanka.

    You may change your mind sooner than you think.

    Demo Monday, 27 December 2010 09:06 AM

    typical sri lankan cunning politician. He cant take country to any ware. Every politician talks these things before coming to power..

    TP Monday, 27 December 2010 08:58 AM

    If he can walk the talk he could be the saviour of Sri Lanka

    Madihe son Monday, 27 December 2010 08:10 AM

    Big words. Hope other worls politicians will learn from him !

    Double Edge Monday, 27 December 2010 07:26 AM

    Like Dr. JJ says, if you have proofs, take him to courts.

    KHKaru Monday, 27 December 2010 07:25 AM

    Another NATO member- No Action, Talk Only. How about,
    NTAO ?

    Double Edge Monday, 27 December 2010 07:23 AM

    Sajith, Take fathers good qualities not the ugly LOT. Good Luck.

    Great man knows only fortune hunting (nidan haranna).

    Knight Rider Monday, 27 December 2010 04:55 AM

    good values should start flowing from the top

    Knight Rider Monday, 27 December 2010 04:52 AM

    The word "Development' seems to an obsession in world of sri lankan politics !

    click Lanka Sunday, 26 December 2010 02:38 PM

    SAJITH YOU HAVE TO WAITE FOR ANOTHER 20 YEARS .
    I DON'T THINK PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY IS READY TO GIVE RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS COUNTRY TO YOU.
    WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT SOCIO- ECONOMICS !!!
    YOUR QUALIFICATION "MY FATHER WAS PRESIDENT "IS NOT ENOUGH
    (your fathers politics was not a good example to the country)

    jayawardana Monday, 27 December 2010 04:27 AM

    we think that you will set up a system with justice for all people in the country without any discrimination like now

    Ashoka Monday, 27 December 2010 03:33 AM

    It is a distinguished thought form other politicians in his caliber.
    God bless you, You can go to vantage point I guess.

    perera Monday, 27 December 2010 03:31 AM

    I THINK I LIKE SAJITH'S THINKING AND INTELLECT WHICH IS LACKING IN MOST OF OUR POLITICIANS AND SADLY MISSING IN MAJORITY OF THEM.
    I ONLY HOPE YOU WILL PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH WHEN YOUR TIME COMES.

    IN THE PAST MANY HAVE PREACHED BUT NEVER PRACTICED WHAT THEY PREACHED

    GOOD LUCK TO YOU

    Mohamed Monday, 27 December 2010 03:27 AM

    Even though He may not have experience like others He is better suited for UNP at the moment. He at least was not sold for power and money like other past UNPs(He is much better than Navin Dissanayake).

    haleem Monday, 27 December 2010 02:21 AM

    It is a constructive thoughts. ...Amazing start.

    Palitha Galapitiya Sunday, 26 December 2010 11:58 PM

    Everybody should practice what they preach when they come to the power for the sake of Mother SriLanka.

    Dushantha Kurera Sunday, 26 December 2010 09:32 PM

    You are maturing as a Good leader. May you lead the UNP back to its past glory of the time of DS Senanayake.

    Nimal Sunday, 26 December 2010 09:02 PM

    The only saviour for this great party "Sajith Premadasa", like David Cameroon of England....if Conservatives did not select this Young David as their Leader ( the Youngest Conservative prime Minister of England after many years) Labour would have won 2009 General Election..... Yes UNP can come to power if there is a change.......

    raj Sunday, 26 December 2010 07:22 PM

    instead of development oriented politics, you should build good moral oriented politics so that all ethnic community can share same values which is important for natural unity (not the forced one)

    dpl Sunday, 26 December 2010 07:26 PM

    well and good if you respects the real democracy and law of the land.then you can development of the country. srilanka is very communal cast, creed, difference in religions.even prelates. they are name shake of prelates. MR R. Pramadasa is sincer politician, hard working honorable person. he able to understand the indian foreign policy he kept india in armlenth.he alway respects the honest hard working officials.when he was minister of local govt, prime minister, and president. he did real development to the country,If you fellow the his policy then srilanka will be a development country without begging the neighnabour countries.God bless goodlack.

    n.sethupathy Sunday, 26 December 2010 07:18 PM
