In an apparent move to give the people a full and balanced report on vital issues in the country, President Maithripala Sirisena on Sunday night made a rare appearance on a television talk show to answer probing questions. The President reiterated that the priority issues of the National Government were to find a just, fair and lasting solution to the ethnic conflict, bring about a just society with a more equitable distribution of wealth and resources and give tens of thousands of productive jobs mainly to the rural youth. He stressed that without national unity- races and religions working together, the poor and the rich also working together- there could be no sustainable development. The President acknowledged these priority issues were not ‘string hoppers and pol sambol’ matters and most people could not see any immediate benefits.
