Crowds jeer Sri Lankan PM on rare outing

Boos and Heckles welcomed Prime Minister Sri Lanka Mahinda Rajapaksa on Sunday about his first public sightseeing since the national protest erupted demanding that the family in power resigned over the determination of the economic crisis.

The month of extinguishing and lack of acute food, fuel, and medicines has caused extensive suffering throughout the island of South Asia in the worst declineOn Sunday, the Prime Minister visited one of the most holy Buddhist temples-accommodating 2,300 years old trees that were said to be Anuradhapura.

But dozens of people carrying handwritten plaques and shouting slogans that demand that “thieves” be prohibited from the holy city, 200 kilometers (125 miles) in northern Colombo.

“We will worship you if you retreat (as prime minister) and leave,” shouted a man.

The Special Armed Task Force Command (STF) was deployed while the police moved to clean the road for a convoy of six Rajapaksa vehicles.

Officials said the prime minister returned to the capital with a helicopter.

Some of the main roads in the country are blocked by people who protest the lack of cooking gas, gasoline and diesel.

The number of police watched without power when people climbed into trucks and passed with 84 gas cylinders, officials said.

The government imposed an emergency that gave a great military power to arrest and arrest people on Friday, after the union made the country virtually jammed in an effort to suppress President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to resign.

The Ministry of Defense said in a statement on Sunday that anti-government demonstrators behaved in “provocative and threatening ways” and disrupted important services.

The union said they would hold protests every day from Monday to pressure the government to revoke an emergency.

Union leader Ravi Kumudesh said they would mobilize state and private sector workers to invade national parliament when opening the next session on May 17.

“We also want the government to raise an emergency because it is not a solution,” said Mr. Kumudesh in a statement. “What we want is the president and his family left.”

President Rajapaksa, who is the brother of Prime Minister Mahinda, has not been seen in public since tens of thousands of people have tried to invade his personal residence in Colombo on March 31.

Since April 9, thousands have been camping in front of his office in Colombo.

Mahinda Rajapaksa’s visit to Anuradhapura was part of the busyness of religious activities by families who were in power because they were attached to power in the majority of Buddhist countries.

Local media reported that the President’s private shaman, Gnana Akka, had captivated the bottled water and sent it to the protest site in the hope that the movement would fail.

Another report says the wife of Prime Minister Shiranthi has visited Hindu temples that seek divine assistance for his family’s efforts to remain in power.

The official source said the President could ask his brother Mahinda to resign in an effort to clean the path for the unity government to navigate Sri Lanka through a crisis.

But the biggest opposition party in the country has said that they will not join the government led by members of the Rajapaksa Clan.

Sri Lanka was hit by an economic crisis after Pandemi Coronavirus made income from tourism and money transmission.
