"The Sinhala race is rapidly becoming a minority and my only only request to the Sinhalese is to produce children as much as possible to avoid extinction of their race," the Minister said addressing a function in Wattala, which was organized by his ministry. 

 

"There is no point in lamenting over this problem, We need to act fact. If any woman has a problem in having children, I kindly request her to contact me for further assistance," the Minister, who also holds a 'Doctorate', said. 

 

"The United People's Freedom Alliance, led by the Sri Lanka Freedom Party, is one big family. The mother and father of that family is none other than President Mahinda Rajapaksa . We must not allow anyone to disrupt that familial bond, There is no one who knows about the Rajapaksa family better than me. I too hail from Beliatta which is nothing but a Rajapaksa stronghold. I can even set a Guinness record only by talking about the Rajapaksa family and their history," the Minister said. 

 

However, in his speech, the Minister did not respond to allegations over buying a new house from the US and his secret meeting with opposition leader Ranil Wickremesinghe last month.
