President Mahinda Rajapaksa addressing the nation a short while ago said that his government is committed to free education and a free health care system. “When C.W.W. Kannangara introduced the free education bill, with those like S.A. Wickramasinghe, N.M Perera, J.R. Jayawardena and a host of others, D.A. Rajapaksa was also with them. We are committed towards a free education and a free health service for our people and we won't let anyone take that away from us,” he said. (HF)
