There is a shortage of true leaders presently in Sri Lanka, says Youth Affairs and Skill Development Minister Dullas Alahapperuma. He states that in the past leaders were elected to the Parliament through various unjust means.


Speaking during a leadership training program at the International Center for the Training of Rural Leaders, Embilipitiya the Minister stated that even if being elected to Parliament through such unjust methods is approved of or not, those persons have been baptized as leaders.


Leadership is not built through politics. A person who concentrates his physical and mental strengths and steers it towards an objective is identified as a true leader, he expressed.
