Archbishop of Colombo His Eminence Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith speaking to a briefing held in Colombo today (18) disapproved of the new Cabinet appointed by President Rajapaksa today by calling it a mere deception and to be serving no people’s hopes.
The Cardinal also disclosed that there were information on thugs and armed forces plotting to dissolve the protesters which would be an unacceptable and immoral response. Instead of engaging in such stupidity, the sovereignty of the people should be respected and the law should move towards a new system that is above political authority, he emphasised.
The Cardinal further noted that the rulers who deceive the public by not acting in a manner that assures the sovereignty of the people should be stepping down.
