When he resigned and thought that the problem was over, after a few months the President Gotabaya Rajapakse was also thrown out by the people of Sri Lanka.
escaped; He tried to seek refuge in the Maldives with his family claiming to have survived, but the country denied him permission. Well.. When no country such as America or India offered to give him asylum, the Singapore government gave Gotabaya asylum to stay for a month so that he could go.
As his visa has expired there, the question of where he will seek refuge has been raised internationally. People’s protests in Sri Lanka have been brought under control only now after the declaration of emergency. Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe had recently expressed his fear that if Gotabaya returns to the country, there is a risk of a renewed protest.
In such circumstances, if Gotabaya leaves within a few days after his visa expires in Singapore, he will not be able to return to his home country of Sri Lanka.
Australia, Canada, Britain, any country where Tamils live, there is a risk of riots, and those countries do not want to give shelter to Gotabaya. Because of these two reasons, the question of where he will take refuge after Singapore has been widely raised in the international arena.
It is in this situation that Thailand has given refuge to Gothapaya with a little big heart. Gotabaya has now taken refuge in Thailand with the condition that that too for the first phase only for three months.
Until yesterday Singapore… Today Thailand… Tomorrow where? As it were, Gothapaya has become a vagabond. Gotabaya is being talked about in the international political arena as a current example of the fact that before the people’s struggle, it does not matter how high the people are in power.
