Addressing a press conference, UNP Deputy Leader Karu Jayasuriya said  that autocratic ruler Robert Mugabe also introduced similar legislations  to acquire private assets in Zimbabwe at that time. Mr. Jayasuriya said that the local industries suffered a severe blow in  1956 due to the decision by the then government to take over privately  owned plantations, bus companies and mines, and the present government  was trying to repeat the same mistake despite its dangerous consequences  on the economy. “In 1956, all plantations owned by local entrepreneurs were taken over.   It was a blow to the local industries. In India, the rulers never did  so. They only encouraged their entrepreneurs and investors. Therefore,  India has been able to produce internationally renowned billionaires  such as Birla and Tata,” he said. However, he said that some Sri Lankan entrepreneurs were able rise  against all odds after the 1956 blunder, and Mr. Daya Gamage who owns  the Sevanagala Sugar Company and Harry Jayawardane who owns the  Pelawatte Sugar Company were two of them.
