Sri Lanka Crisis – Passengers Airport Staff Foil Basil Rajapaksas Bid To Flee Sri Lanka,

Sri Lanka’s former finance minister Basil Rajapaksa, who tried to escape to Dubai, was detained by airport officials and sent back. Following the severe economic crisis in Sri Lanka, the people’s protest against President Gotabaya’s government has reached its peak. In an environment where they had to face great difficulty in getting essential food items, people faced difficulties like power cut for more than 15 hours every day and started holding huge protests on the streets against the government.

The public held a series of protests against the ruling Rajapaksa family as the reason for this worst disorder in the country. Due to this, Gothapaya’s family has been kept safe under military and police protection. In this case, Sri Lanka’s former finance minister and one of Gotabaya’s brothers, Basil Rajapaksa, went to Katunayake International Airport this morning to go to Dubai.

However, the airport officials who stopped him have categorically stated that they cannot allow him to go abroad. Thus, Basil Rajapaksa has returned to his residence.
