Tourism Minister Prasanna Ranatunga says that there will be no room for any decision to betray the country when the leaders who defeated separatism after 30 years of war are in power. He emphasized that the present government would not allow the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country to be harmed in the slightest. He was speaking to the media after a meeting with the Chief Incumbent of the Ramanna Maha Nikaya, Ven. Speaking further the Minister said, “Powerful countries do not want countries like ours to become developed. When a government that comes to power takes decisions that strengthens the country economically, powerful countries take steps to change the heads of state and change the regime.
