The former Sri Lankan player commented on the protest held by the people of that country on July 9 for the economic problem of Sri Lanka.
People’s struggle continues in Sri Lanka, which is suffering from severe economic crisis. After the resignation of Mahinda Rajapaksa from the post of Prime Minister, various groups such as opposition parties, public and students have been protesting for the resignation of Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa for the past few months.
On July 9, the protesters took over the President’s House in Colombo and started a demonstration. Regarding this protest, former Sri Lankan cricketer Sanath Jayasuriya said:
I also joined the protestors. I participated in the previous protest as well. I have been supporting this struggle since day one. I too have been struggling for the past 3 months. 9th July is the public day of protest.
They say they haven’t officially resigned yet. Being involved in the struggle does not mean that I will join politics. I will not join politics.
