Sun, Jan 10, 2010, 09:47 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.

Jan 10, Colombo: Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapaksa says that all communities are equal to him and that is why he claimed that there are no minorities in the country.

Addressing a large gathering of Muslims from various parts of the country at the Temple Trees yesterday, the President said that he has already completed building an independent country where all communities can live in unity.

The President told the gathering that certain groups are trying to create rifts between the Muslim and Tamil communities for political mileage and he would not allow any one to destabilize the country by creating rifts between its people.

A group of Muslim girls traditionally welcomed the President throwing flowers and the Muslim Community Leaders presenting a memento felicitated the President for his leadership.
