Strugglers conspiring to destroy the State with vested interest: Wimal
Claiming that the protesters who are engaged in the struggle are attempting to destroy the State tactfully with the backing of external forces, Parliamentarian Wimal Weerawansa today said such moves should be defeated.
Speaking at the emergency debate, he told Parliament that they would vote in favour of the proclamation of emergency regulations, because they wanted to prevent the state being destroyed.
Weerawansa said the people protested to evict former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and that they could not approve of the moves to evict all the rulers who come to power.
"If the activists continue to protest to evict everyone who is in power, we cannot do anything. We have to accept that this is a legitimate government, whether we like it or not. We cannot allow the country to become another Libya. These protesters are trying to destroy the State with vested interests," he said.
He said the protesters with a massive crowd behind them and supporting them, took over President's House, Presidential Secretariat and Temple Trees, and said the protest cannot be called as a peaceful struggle. (Ajith Siriwardana and Yohan Perera)
