President Says Equal Application of Law Unites Citizens Across Party Lines

COLOMBO (News 1st) - President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, speaking during his official visit to Japan, said the fear some people feel when the law is applied equally to all citizens is evident in how they abandon party lines and unite as one.
