We will not allow a single inch of the land that you won by the sacrifice of your life to be taken away. There will be no room for separation, President MahindaRajapksa said.
Our experience demonstrates the vital role of local traditions and culture in moulding the practices of local government institutions. It also highlights the unique significance of the part played by these institutions in sustaining and strengthening the democratic way of life. This is especially so, because democratic governance impacts most directly on the people through these institutions which bring government literally to their doorstep, President Mahinda Rajapaksa said.
