Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa has agreed to the proposal to form a caretaker government in a move to solve the prevailing economic and political crisis suffered by the country, political sources divulged.

The proposal to form an interim caretaker government with the membership of all parties representing Parliament was first brought by former Ministers Wimal Weerawansa and Udaya Gammanpila and the other minor parties of the government.

Weerawansa and Gammanpila, together with Vasudewa Nanayakkara and Tiran Alles have met the Prime Minister today in elaborating the proposal, to which Prime Minister Rajapaksa has reportedly agreed, sources added.
