The Maha Sangha who held a Sangha convention in Colombo yesterday (30) has stated that if they do not take action to remove the Prime Minister and the Cabinet and form an interim government, they will announce a Sangha Convention and reject all politicians.
Ven. Agalakada Sirisumana Thera, Ven. Omalpe Sobhitha Thera and many other monks held this conference at the Independence Square in Colombo.
The formation of this interim government is a proposal made by the Sri Lanka Freedom Party, led by Maithripala Sirisena, who recently became independent in parliament from the current government, and former government ministers Wimal Weerawansa Udaya Gammanpila and Vasudeva Nanayakkara. Although the people of the country have taken to the streets demanding the resignation of President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, the group of Wimal, Gammanpila, Vasu and others proposing this interim government are adamant that Gotabhaya Rajapaksa should not resign.
Accordingly, it seems that the people in the streets will not accept the proposal to remove Mahinda Rajapaksa, instead of Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and appoint a Prime Minister from the Sri Lanka People’s Front and give ministerial posts to several other parties in Parliament to form a government.
