The government is attempting to repress trade unions and their strike actions in violation of democracy, said Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa, speaking to a public rally organised by the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) held in Kekirawa yesterday (30).
The Opposition Leader demanded the government that this anti-democratic conduct be stopped immediately.
The government, which is selling off the country’s resources, is now taking measures to repress the worker, Premadasa went on, adding that the SJB would stand by the people against this dictatorial regime that violates the fundamental rights of the workers.
