JVP MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake speaking to Daily Mirror online stated that the fuel crisis was due to the governments’ strict adherence to IMF regulations.“The whole issue stems from the fact that the government has given into the pressure of the International Monetary Fund. Its ironical that that the very government that is averse to international pressure has given in to the IMF. The fact is that the IMF had stipulated the condition which insists on the devaluing of the rupee. This happened at the budget and last week again the government did it with no notice. Today the proportion of a dollar to a rupee has sky rocketed. It is according to these conditions that the rupee was first devalued by 3%. Accordingly a dollar is valued at Rs.117. The total burden has been put out to the general market and therein to the common man,” he said. (Hafeel Farisz)

Following is the comprehensive audio footage in which Anura Kumara Dissanayake explains the intricacies of the price hike and accuses the government of putting the burden of mega exhibitions and frauds on to the tax payer.

No, only saying do something constructive instead of only talking all the time.
