Former Sri Lankan Cricket Captain Kumar Sangakkara said Sri Lankans are going through one of the toughest times imaginable and that the people and their future must be protected and provided for.   

In a social media post he said, “Sri Lankans are going through one of the toughest times imaginable. It is heartbreaking to see the despair of people and families as they struggle to make it through the day; and each day for them gets harder.”   

“The people are raising their voices and asking for what is needed: a solution. While some are reacting in resentment and anger to that voice, others are trying to take undue advantage of it. 

The right choice is to listen to the people, put aside destructive personal and political agendas and act in the best interests of Sri Lanka.”
