Deputy Minister of Housing, T.B. Sarath, expressed astonishment at the intellectual capabilities of a woman named Ishara Sewwandi, citing the path she took after committing a serious crime. The Deputy Minister made these remarks while addressing a public gathering.
“Considering the journey she undertook as a woman after the crime, it’s clear she possesses intellectual ability. If her strength, knowledge, and talent had been harnessed for the nation’s development, imagine how much progress the country could have made,” he asserted.
The Deputy Minister further stated that this indicates the country has made mistakes at various junctures. T.B. Sarath pointed out that if Ishara Sewwandi’s strength, knowledge, and abilities had been utilized for national development, Sri Lanka could have built a more developed nation.
It was also Deputy Minister T.B. Sarath, under a National People’s Power administration, who announced plans to construct a public toilet system every 4-5 kilometers from Colombo to Polonnaruwa.
