Those who participate in today’s protests should be rated as traitors of the nation, an MP said yesterday. UNP MP Vajira Abeywardene told a media briefing that everyone who participates in today’s protest should be rated as traitors as they will be playing a role in pushing the country backward.   

“Sri Lanka has managed to achieve some kind of stability with prices of essential goods being reduced to some extent and the pickup of the tourism sector. However, the country may lose all these achievements with today’s protest,” he said.  

“Some political groups have been misled by some international forces to destabilize Sri Lanka,” he added.  “Sri Lanka will be revived in an year if the people manage to work intelligently and remain calm,” he also said.
