April 4, 2022 at 6:33 PM

The Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) today decided to quit the President Gotabaya Rajapaksa -led government.

SLFP National Organizer Duminda Dissanayake said that the party has further decided to function as an independent group in Parliament. 

The group includes fourteen (14) Sri Lanka Freedom Party parliamentarians. 

The party had earlier warned President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and the government that it will quit the government if the regime does not heed their calls to appoint a caretaker government.

Even though the President appointed a new four-member temporary Cabinet and called on all political parties to join hands to form an all-party interim government, the invitation has been declined by several political parties. (NewsWire)
