Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa addressing a meeting held in the Opposition Leader’s Office yesterday (18) urged the government to stop this repressive system leading three-wheeler drivers to suffer in fuel queues 24 hours a day, the people to suffer inside vehicles, to starve, the innocent to die in the queues and by falling from trains and adopt an administration committed to the problems.
The rulers’ continuity of a journey failed to understand the pain and pressure of the people suffering in the queues must be stopped immediately, the Opposition Leader emphasised, calling on the government to allow the parents who are suffering from not being able to feed their children’s hunger and the students who have lost their education at schools and universities to settle in this country.
The government led by the President and the Prime Minister which has delivered frustration and suffering to twenty two million people in this country has repeatedly proved their incompetence and failure, Premadasa noted, suggesting that what the government does on the other hand is taking revenge on the people.
