Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs, Namal Rajapaksa today said he is ready to sacrifice his portfolios for political unity if Parliament approves to appoint a caretaker government in the coming days.

When questioned on the latest decisions made by the government amidst the ongoing crisis, Namal told Daily Mirror this was not a time to go in for an election but instead if a caretaker government is appointed then he will step down and pave way for political unity within the political parties.

Following increasing calls by the SLFP and the eleven party alliance members for a caretaker government to be formed immediately, the Daily Mirror learns that the matter is now being discussed.

Namal said the need of the hour was immediate economic unity and while the matters of the fuel shortage, power crisis and gas shortage was being urgently resolved, political unity was also required to move the country ahead. 

"Keeping this in mind I will step down from all my portfolios if a caretaker government is formed for political unity," he said.  (JAMILA HUSAIN)

    As usual, you have no clue of the need of the hour!

    For ages, this man has been talking about "sacrificing his portfolios", but he never does so, as usual.

    Eren Saturday, 02 April 2022 06:48 PM

    Looted enough , and reserved

    Shiran fernando Saturday, 02 April 2022 06:51 PM

    U hold about 25% of the ministerial scope. Good decision.

    Curious Saturday, 02 April 2022 06:52 PM

    Just resign. Always 'will resign on some condition or the other'. Behaving like a tone deaf bozo. Go to Maldives and float in the sea when people are dying ques. You'll get loads more luv.

    Mandayan Saturday, 02 April 2022 06:54 PM

    Baby, you presidential dream gone with your water sport in Male!

    Dee Saturday, 02 April 2022 06:56 PM

    You have enough already. Just go relax and chill! The entire nation can and is already taking the brunt of all the misdoings. Go in Peace!

    Karm Saturday, 02 April 2022 06:57 PM

    Appointment of Cabinet Ministers is the prerogative of HE the President. You don't decide. "Boru Show"

    Concerned Citizen Saturday, 02 April 2022 07:11 PM

    People are waiting to sacrifice you man not your portfolio.

    vince Saturday, 02 April 2022 07:13 PM

    Yeah right. He was as all the others were and is totally useless. Time for him to get out and practice as a lawyer. Even that might be difficult given the circumstances of his qualifications. No one in their right mind would hire him anyway.

    Lankan Saturday, 02 April 2022 07:15 PM

    Why so long please write now do it. Shame on all of your families and future generations. If you have a guts ?????

    joshua Saturday, 02 April 2022 07:23 PM

    Just take your family and siblings and get lost. You have no right to talk about a caretaker govt. We have had enough of your family business

    You do not need to do this by any choice but people will send you home ..people are so upset and so angry about this mess ...if people don't have food to eat ; what do you expect ? You and your family and your Mps have stolen billions of foreign reserves ..that is why people suffer now without food .

    Ramesh Saturday, 02 April 2022 07:41 PM

    Will you resign your seat and go back for the sake of the people. Your family has done enough to put the people in this mess.

    Sickening Saturday, 02 April 2022 07:41 PM

    Baby who cares or worried about you. You go and ask a year one student what is happening in this country that student will make you to realise how foolish you are. People don't want see your cruel faces anymore.

    chris Saturday, 02 April 2022 07:44 PM

    Putha, share the plan of action you and all in govt will adopt to steer the country out of danger. Communication is key as we citizens are emotionally distressed and citizens are losing faith and trust. Regain it by positive non political communication of the solutions.

    Jayaa Saturday, 02 April 2022 07:46 PM

    If caretaker government formed you will be kicked out

    Sam Silva Saturday, 02 April 2022 08:22 PM
