Facilities Given to South will be given to develop the North - Lakshman Yapa says....

Minister of Investment Promotion, Lakshman Yapa Abeywardena, says the new regime in the North will receive all facilities constitutionally, to enable the development of the province.
 
The Minister made this statement at an event held in Matara on Saturday.
 
An event organized by the National Scout Movement was held at the Thelijjawila Central College on Saturday under the auspices of Minister Lakshman Yapa Abeywardena.
 
He further stated,

 
“Today we have taken steps to democratically give the right to rule, to a group in the North, who are not supportive of the government. This has not happened before. This government is always ready to give the newly appointed regime in the North, the same facilities given to the South, to enable development. But, it must be constitutional. If what caused the terrorism of the LTTE to emerge, threatens to destroy democracy in the North, then I do not think that any government would allow it. We have a right to put a stop to it. We also have a right to give the rights enjoyed by all citizens in the country, to the people of the North. We have done this in our tenure.”
