The main Opposition Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) together with its economic experts are currently in the process of formulating a solution to the present economic crisis and are discussing with local and international experts on restructuring Sri Lanka’s debt, the Leader of Opposition Sajith Premadasa told Parliament yesterday.
“We are proud to say that the SJB through its economic experts, including MPs Harsha de Silva, Kabir Hashim and Eran Wickramaratne, who have walked the talk, is currently formulating a plan to resolve the economic crisis and are talking to local and international experts to restructure Sri Lanka’s debt with the participation of international political and monetary institutions,” Premadasa said.
“Of course we shall oppose any move to bring in more hardships on people of this country who are already in dire straits because of the current corrupt administration,” he added.
The Opposition Leader called for unity among all parties to overcome the current crisis. 

“My fellow countrymen, it is time for everyone to unite. We have to unite for a purpose, we have to unite to put a pause to the current deteriorating situation of the economy.  You cannot solve the economic crisis by holding seminars or publishing booklets. We have to convert our policies into action,” he stressed.
