Colombo: The Rajapaksa government in Sri Lanka is selling everything to China. Sri Lankan food traders accuse them of having nothing in the country and borrowing everything from other countries.
Sri Lanka is facing an unprecedented economic crisis. Prices of fruits and vegetables are skyrocketing. Apple was sold for Rs.500 per kg 3 months ago. At present it is Rs.1000 per kg. Pears are sold for Rs. 1500 per kg. People also say they have no money. Opposition leader Sajid Premadasa has begun raising the banner of war to end the dictatorship.
Interview given by Sri Lankan traders to the Indian media: Prices are rising daily. The government has no money. The Sri Lankan government sold everything to China. That is the biggest problem. Sri Lanka has no money because it sold everything to China. Borrows from other countries. We have no business either. Gotabhaya Rajapaksa is no good. He must resign. Thus said.
