(Colombo Composite) Rajapaksa, the former President of Sri Lanka who fled abroad, said he had taken "all possible action" to avoid the country's serious crisis, but the crown disease caused his efforts to put it into the water.
The Sri Lanka Congress met on Saturday (July 16) to start the procedure of the election of the new president.The speaker of the parliament, Abvadner, read out the resignation letter from Rajapaksa.
The letter says: "I can contribute to the country, and I will contribute to the country in the future."
Rajapaksa's words are intriguing, which makes people pay attention to whether he will continue to participate in domestic politics during exile.He said: "Although we are facing an economic crisis, I can still protect the people from the impact of the epidemic. I personally satisfy this."
Sri Lanka, which has a population of 22 million, has more than 660,000 crown diseases, and more than 16,500 death cases.Rajapaksa refused to seal the city in the early days of the epidemic, and said she did not have to panic.A minister also said that the earthwork provided by Sri Lanka by the wizard was enough to deal with.
The resignation letter means that the reserves when the economic crisis has long existed when the reserves were very low
73 -year -old Rajapaksa flew to Singapore on Thursday.Sri Lanka Speaker Abvadner announced the next day the next time he had received a resignation letter from Rajapaksa.
He said in his resignation letter that the country's economic crisis already existed. When he took office in November 2019, Sri Lanka's reserves were very low, and the outbreak of the outbreak destroyed the economy.For more than two years, the foreign exchange income created by international tourists and the creation of migrant workers has been exhausted.
However, critics believe that improper government management is a key factor in the country's desperation.
Official data shows that when Rajapaksa took over, Sri Lanka's foreign exchange reserves were US $ 7.5 billion (about S $ 10.5 billion). When he resigned, he fell to $ 1 million and the country went bankrupt.
Rajapaksa came to power with a strong man, but a week ago, thousands of protesters rushed into the Presidential Palace and eventually forced him away.
Congress did not debate on Lajapaksa's resignation letter, and ended 13 minutes after Saturday's meeting.Congress will nominate a presidential candidate on the 19th, and members of the parliament will vote for the new president on the 20th.
After Rajapaksa's departure, his ally, Victorma Sinda, who has been the prime minister six times, automatically took over as the president at the constitution.The Sri Lanka People's Front (SLPP) of Rajapaksa has spoke to support the 73 -year -old Victormazinha to run for president, but the protesters have stated that they will never accept the Victor Masinger's leadership.The members did not support him.Sri Lanka's political situation is still very unstable.
have stated that the president who wants to run for presidents includes former media minister of the people's front Ala Hedruma, the opposition leader Preda Madasa, and the former Army chief of staff Fengsaika.
Many opposition parties in Sri Lanka seek to form a whole party government to expand the scope of selecting those who are capable to provoke the burden of governing the country.
