Srilanka as a country is going through the worst economic crises the world has ever seen. There is extreme shortage of food in the country and the Island country is also now deviod of petrol and diseal. Amid the shortages of basic necessities of food, water supply and electricity there has been huge rage among people who have violently protesting in the roads. Thereby, there has been curfew imposed in the country, however, the curfew hasn’t improved the condition much. Thereby all 26 Cabinet Minsiters of Srilanka have resigned.
Srilanka as a country is grappling with what is said to be its worst economic crisis since independence from the UK in 1948.It is caused in part by a lack of foreign currency, which is used to pay for fuel imports. With power cuts lasting half a day or more, and shortages of food, medicines and fuel, public anger has reached a new high.
Education Minister Dinesh Gunawardena told reporters on Sunday that the cabinet’s ministers had tendered their resignation letters to the prime minister. The prime minister’s own son, Namal Rajapaksa, was among those who resigned, tweeting that he hoped it would help the president and PM’s “decision to establish stability for the people and the government”. However, many protesters who allege that the president and his family are to blame for the situation in the country are angry at the fact that he will remain in power.
