Despite the government’s proposition on forming an all-party government, it actually implements a programme that devours everything, and therefore, no government that continues to repress the people’s struggle will be endorsed, said Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa, addressing the people’s alignment against repression held in the Colombo Foundations Institute yesterday (24).
The event was attended by political parties, trade unions, civil movements, artists, multi-people organisations, and also representatives of the British High Commission, the Canadian Embassy, the Australian Embassy and the South African Embassy.
Speaking to the event, the Opposition Leader invited all forces to spare differences and joint the mission to defeat state brutality.
He pointed out that the government is violating the rights of the citizens of this country by using the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) and stressed that no one has the right to violate or take away the rights of the people.
