The minister had added that during the era of the Mahinda Rajapaksa regime Sri Lanka had not received aid from foreign countries.The United Nations Human Rights commission had brought three proposals in three years.In the event Mahinda Rajapaksa triumphed in the past presidential election the fourth proposal also would have been brought forward against our country.Hos lost was a blessing in disguise.

The former president Mahinda Rajapaksa called for a snap presidential election two years prior to his  stipulated period.This was because he knew that taking the country forward for two more years was not possible as all funds had been spent. He knew that he would not win easily if the elections were held in two years time.But some were of the view that he had not obeyed  to the instructions of his reputed astrologers after he succumbed to defeat.

The minister of Higher Education and Highways  had also added that in the year 1962 that RG.Senanayake of the United National Party who had signed the original economic agreements with China.But many had disagreed to it initially but the same people had  acclaimed these agreements.But unfortunately  very few opportunities were exploited.

The minister also had added to the officials of his ministry not to invite him for opening ceremonies unless they are followed until the end without allowing trees to sprout out from the point of the foundation stones.
