Deshahithaishi Jāthike Vyapāraya (Patriotic
National Movement – PNM) was formed to fulfill some urgent national
needs i.e. to save our Nation, its sovereignty and the territorial
integrity of our country. We felt we could not wait any longer
silently witnessing the disintegration of the Nation and the country
which is taking place before our very eyes in every passing day.
The Patriotic National Movement was formed with three primary aims
in view.
-
To resist any
attempts to divide the country in the name of devolution
of power. To preserve sovereignty of the Nation and the
territorial integrity of the country.
-
To resist the
neo-colonial economic exploitation that is being carried out
by Western powers. To save our economic resources, our land, rivers
and forests from being usurped by foreign powers.
-
To resist the
cultural invasion aimed at destroying our National identity and
our cultural heritage. To preserve our civilization and culture.
It is be obvious to the more
enlightened that these aims are part of a more fundamental aim –
namely that of liberating our Nation from the clutches of the
colonialists who are approaching on us at every passing day. What we need
today is a National Freedom Struggle to save our nation.
Nothing short of such a broad -based struggle will save our country or our
Nation.
