Colombo (Sri Lanka), Apr 06 (ANI): Amid the economic crisis, Former Sri Lankan Minister Arjuna Ranatunga on April 06 held the ruling government responsible for not handling the COVID situation properly. “General Public is only asking for basic things in protests like milk powder, gas, rice, petrol. I don’t agree with the violence happening. The country has gone into a major crisis in the last 2 years, they can give excuses of COVID but the world went through it,” he said. “Unfortunately, these people didn’t handle COVID properly and they were cocky and overconfident. If President thinks he can’t handle it, he can step down. We’re begging for money around the world. Luckily, there are countries helping us out, mainly India,” he added.
