Industrial Development Minister Sunil Handunnetti claims that his recent speech at the World Economic Forum has been misrepresented and is being circulated on social media in a distorted manner.
“I saw on social media that the speech I delivered at the World Economic Forum is being twisted to serve certain agendas,” the Minister stated.
Clarifying the key points of his address, he emphasized:
“Our country’s intelligent youth are migrating abroad. It is a serious issue that those who receive free education are leaving the country. This has become a broader crisis affecting the entire Asian region.”
He further added:
“Narcotic drugs are being brought into our countries from Europe. While we welcome the tourism industry, we do not support the influx of drugs. We must take steps to protect our society.”
Minister Handunnetti made these remarks while speaking in Parliament today (30).
