srilanka government said Reports claiming that PM mahinda rajapaksa resign is false | The rumor that Mahinda Rajapaksa has resigned as Prime Minister is false

Sri Lanka’s economy is in an unprecedented state after independence. The economic crisis in Sri Lanka has led to severe shortages of essential commodities over the past few months. Thus the public is suffering greatly. Sri Lanka relies on overseas imports of most essential commodities. Due to the lack of sufficient dollars to do this, the economic crisis is squeezing the people of Sri Lanka.

Power outages last for 13 hours a day due to fuel shortages. As a result, the affected public and the opposition besieged the house of President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa in Colombo the night before. A state of emergency has been declared in the country as civil unrest intensifies. Also, a curfew order has been issued. Social networking sites were also shut down today to control the people’s struggle.

Lifting of restrictions on social networking sites following strong protests in Sri Lanka – Continuing protest against the curfew

Subsequently, restrictions on social networking sites were lifted due to strong opposition. In this context, the media reported that the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka Mahinda Rajapaksa has resigned. It was also reported that Gotabhaya did not accept Rajapaksa’s resignation letter. In this context, the news that Mahinda Rajapaksa has resigned as the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka has been misinterpreted on behalf of the government.
