President Maithripala Sirisena today said he will not allow the ‘silent revolution’ carried out on January 8, to be revoked.

He had made these remarks at the event held to lay the foundation stone for the Matara- Hambantota stretch of the Southern expressway.

"I did not enter politics randomly or abruptly – my experiences in politics spans close to 49 years. . . I will not let any party decision tarnish or harm the transformations that occurred in this country after January 8 – I will protect it,” he has said.  

Speaking further the President had noted that he would ensure that justice prevails in the country and that family rule and corruption is cast out and that good governance is preserved.  (Krishan Jeewaka Jayaruk)
