Even the Prez and PM must resign: Bimal

4 June 2019 07:14 pm

JVP MP Bimal Ratnayake said today not only the Muslim Ministers but also the whole government including the President and the Prime Minister should resign over the Easter Sunday attack.

He told parliament that Muslim ministers should not resign just because they were Muslims but as ministers of the government.

"The resignation of Muslim ministers on their own will not help resolve the current crisis. The whole government including the President and the Prime Minister should resign. This matter has been brought to a racial platform by some racists," the MP said.

He said extremism could not be eliminated without the support of the Muslim community.(Ajith Siriwardana and Yohan Perera)
