We strongly believe that Sri Lanka is a multi-faith, multi-ethnic and multicultural society. We consider diversity in the Sri Lankan society is not a liability, but an asset that we can capitalize on positively. For Sri Lanka to thrive economically, socially and culturally there should be intercourse and empathy between all different groups. It will be disastrous for Sri Lankans to be ignorant of each other’s habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones or inhabitants of different planets.

​We believe hollow words calling for unity will not bring us together as a nation. We will set up a legislative framework for a rule-based society treating all Sri Lankans with dignity and respect, while recognising the issues specific to all different groups of Sri Lankans.

​If elected, we will set up a number of independent commissions/watchdogs with teeth to keep the government honest and fair. We will establish an Equal Opportunity Commission, a Racial, Religious and Gender Discrimination Commission and any other legislated bodies that are necessary to ensure social inclusion, harmony and cohesion.

​We will ensure that all citizens enjoy freedom of religion and freedom from religion. We will recognise Buddhism as the religion of the majority of population. However, the government operations will be completely independent of any religious practice. We believe religious practice is an individual private matter and any religious activity should not be a hindrance to public life at large.

​If elected, we will pass strong legislation relating to Religious and Racial Tolerance with a harsh penalty regime that will make religious and racial vilification unlawful. These laws will indiscriminately apply to all inhabitants of Sri Lanka irrespective of their backgrounds.
