Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa, joined by other party leaders, has formally requested an urgent parliamentary debate on Sri Lanka’s worsening currency crisis.

Premadasa said that the request was made following a meeting with the Speaker of Parliament, Jagath Wickramaratne, today (22).

“The rupee is under tremendous pressure. And we don’t have clear answers nor plans,” the Opposition Leader said in a post on ‘X’. 

He stressed that the public deserves honesty and immediate action before the situation gets worse. (Newswire)
