The representatives of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) and 11 affiliated parties of the Government have informed the President in writing about the measures that need to be taken to address the present crisis in Sri Lanka.
The proposals have been submitted in a joint letter to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
In the letter, the representatives have articulated the importance of forming an interim all-party government.
Besides, it has also been proposed to appoint a National Executive Council which will thereby provide necessary instructions to appoint a new Prime Minister, Cabinet of Ministers and Secretaries to respective ministries.
President Maithripala Sirisena representing the SLFP, MP Vasudeva Nanayakkara representing the 11 constituent parties of the Government, and MPs Anura Priyadharshana Yapa and Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe representing the SLPP have placed their signatures in the missive. (Sheain Fernandopulle)
