The protest is taking place under the slogan ‘Ranil go home’ in protest against Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickrama Singha. Responding to this, Ranil Wickremesinghe said, “There is no point in asking a homeless person to go home.”
Ranil Wickramasinghe said that asking them to go home is a waste of time, instead the protesters should try to rebuild their burnt house. He also said that either the protesters should reform the country or rebuild his house.

He stressed that the ongoing unrest in the country would delay the agreement with the International Monetary Fund and that the political parties should work together to find a permanent solution to the problems facing Sri Lanka. Ranil Wickremesinghe has said that there is no point in blaming former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa for the economic crisis and that other countries are not ready to provide financial assistance until an agreement is reached with the International Monetary Fund.
Ranil Wickremesinghe also said that Sri Lanka should find ways to repay its debts, as IMF assistance will not completely solve Sri Lanka’s problems.
