‘’We also did not think that Mr. Ranil Wickramasinghe would be able to recover the country from the economic crisis in such a short period of time. But we have to accept it today. If you are a person who can see and hear, you have to accept that he has brought our country to this state’’ This statement was made by Rajitha Senaratne, Member of Parliament of Samagi Jana Balawega.
Rajitha highlighted this during his address at the 9th General Assembly of the All-Island Private Pharmacy Owners’ Association (AIPPOA), which took place yesterday (20) afternoon at the Golden Rose Hotel in Boralesgamuwa.
SJB Pm dr, Rajitha also said ‘‘The All-Island Private Pharmacy Owners’ Association has exemplified a dedication to national service, prioritizing public welfare over profit, especially during challenging times in the past. This echoes the leadership of President Ranil Wickremesinghe today. Initially, many doubted his ability to revive the country from economic crisis within such a short span, but today, we must acknowledge his achievements. Anyone who observes objectively must recognize his role in bringing our country to its current state.
Internationally, Sri Lanka is recognized as one of the fastest-recovering nations among those previously facing economic collapse. This achievement is widely applauded globally, with many referring to Sri Lanka’s recovery as an economic miracle unprecedented in history. The International Monetary Fund has even suggested that other countries, like Ethiopia, could learn from Sri Lanka’s economic strategies under President Wickremesinghe’s leadership. However, domestically, criticisms persist. It’s crucial for all of us to grasp the actual situation within our country and recognize these realities.
