A discussion has been held under the patronage of Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya regarding the pressing land issues in the North and East of Sri Lanka.
In a statement on social media, the Prime Minister said the Minister of Lands K.D. Lal Kantha, several Members of Parliament, and other government officials participated in the meeting held at the Parliament on Friday.
PM Harini Amarasuriya said during the meeting, she reaffirmed that under no circumstances will the government take over these lands.
She further said that, instead, necessary steps will be taken to ensure they are returned to the rightful owners, those who hold the original claims.
“Our policies must be grounded in justice, dignity, and equality for all communities,” PM Amarasuriya added. (Newswire)
