Why President Not Invited for Hambantota Opening?

UPFA MP  Shantha Bandara raised the question  why President Maithripala Sirisena was  not invited for the important function  of opening a vocational training  center in    Hambantota ? He said,  the President has told him that he was not invited .

 We need factories, but  it should not affect the environment . We have Chinese factories in Srilanka.  If it is harmful to the environment we will remove it.  If construction of  any factory  was refused by any foreign country , we don’t need such factory in Srilanka.   We have to look into this, when we  accept  factories from foreign countries.   Just because someone is giving we cannot accept it blindly. He regretted  for the unpleasant incident that took place in Hambantota.

He revealed  this in a press conference  held yesterday.
