COLOMBO (News 1st): General Secretary of the Sinhale Organization Ven. Medille Pagngnaloka Thero said the Government is attempting to give away the West Container Terminal instead of the East Container Terminal owing to the pressure exerted by the trade unions.
“What they are suggesting is like, we will give you the Temple of the sacred relic instead of the Atamastanaya,” the Venerable Thero added.
The Thero said that when protests are being held against handing over the ECT to India, the Government is planning on giving the West Container Terminal to appease India.
“Nalaka Godahewa is the person who stole from the stock market in the past, and today the people have given them power. But without any shame instead of going as a Minister of the government, yesterday they appeared as members of Viyathmaga, an organization that hoodwinked the people,” the Thero said adding that they were trying to deceive the trade unions.
