There are ministers in the government who arouse communalism and when they come to the cabinet sit like rats that had not done any crime says the President.
Speaking at an election rally held at Samanthurai yesterday (28th) the President said certain ministers in his government arouse communalism. They go to the South and say Muslims demolish temples and when they come to the East they say the Sinhalese burn mosques. They say large extents of lands are given for temples. When they come to cabinet meetings they sit like rats who have done nothing said the President.
However, political analysts say the President gives leadership to the cabinet and ask why he doesn’t take decisions regarding such ministers.
