Role of Silent Community - Milinda Moragoda

Silent Community could play a vital role in bringing about a positive change in the political culture which prevails in Sri Lanka.

This was the view expressed by Leader of the Sri Lanka National Congress and UPFA candidate for Colombo Distract, Milinda Moragoda, at a neighborhood meeting with a group of residents from Kirulapona recently to launch special campaign on grassroots level.

He emphasized that in order to get more women involved in the political process, special legislative measures should be put into place as has been done in many progressive countries.

Paradoxically, Sri Lanka sadly lags behind in women representatives, in spite of the fact that women are at the forefront of many other fields and professions and are a major economic force.
