Country squeezed by cost of living: Opposition Leader

Date:

The entire people of the country from fisherman to other employments are under immense pressure and the entire country is suffering from an unbearable cost of living, said Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa, addressing the opening ceremony of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Matara Devinuwara Electorate Office today (18).

Although the government blamed the Covid-19 pandemic for the economic crisis, it was the government itself that played with myths by allowing the contagion to spread, he noted.

The SJB also organised a protest at the venue against what it called as the government’s brutal rule.
