President Ranil Wickremesinghe accepted the challenge even when there is no reference in the Constitution as to what should be done when the country becomes bankrupt, Education Minister Susil Premajayantha said. 

Attending the 'Puluwan Sri Lanka' media conference held in Colombo, he said that the people were not asking for an election, but for the recovery of the country which had fallen into an economic abyss.

However, the President has fulfilled his responsibility, Pramajayantha added.
