A solution that is acceptable to the general public is urgently needed – BASL President

Date:

Saliya Peiris, President of the Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) has said that the political instability in the country could not last for weeks as the country’s economy is in a very bad state.

“Recently the Minister of Finance said that the usable capacity in our pool is only US $ 50 million. That means when one oil tanker is brought in, it’s over. So the situation that happened on the 9th took place when there is a serious situation. That provocative incident started with this serious situation in this country. So political instability cannot last for weeks. If this instability persists for a few more weeks, the severity will be enormous. So we all need to understand the extreme seriousness of this. No matter what we say, we cannot find a solution to this problem without realizing its seriousness. That is why the politicians of this country should be quick to find solutions.”

Saliya Peiris stated this while participating in a program on TV Derana.
