The book, 'Voice of President Mahinda Rajapaksa in Parliament', contains a litany of his speeches made in parliament, since his first speech in 1970, till 2005.

Since release, Rajapaksa has issued copies of his book to the Maha Sangha, religious figures from Christian, Hindu and Muslim faiths, to student debating teams at Colombo Nalanda College, Thusrstan College and Richmond College in Galle, as well as issuing copies to school students who achieved the highest results at grade 5, O-Level and A-Level examinations.

The book was published by the Presidential Information and Documentation Centre, a centre, which according to the pro-government news outlet, www.dailynews.lk, was set up to collect and preserve information related to all Presidents who ruled the country.

We need your support

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
