Samagi Jana Balawegaya Parliamentarian Mayantha Dissanayake says nearly one million youth are due to leave the country in the coming months.
Speaking to media in Kandy, the MP said such a large number did not leave the country even during the 1983 riots or during the conflict.
The Parliamentarian said youth are leaving for studies and employment purposes in order to strengthen their future.
Terming this development as disappointing, MP Dissanayake said the present challenges must be faced for the future of the country’s youth and called on the country’s future generations to join hands in developing and giving leadership to the country.
