The strong displeasure of Asia Commune to the Sri Lankan government
The people of Sri Lanka drove out the racist, bigotry and corrupted military Rajapaksa regime. This was driven out by a continuous people’s struggle for more than a hundred days.
As a twisted result of this struggle, the appointment of the new president was entrusted to the existing parliament. The vast majority of this parliament was Rajapaksa supporters. Ranil Wickramasinghe, who only holds his own seat in Parliament, was the representative of the defeated Rajapaksa regime. He got 134 votes in the Parliament and was appointed as the 8th President of Sri Lanka on 21st July 2022.
Less than 24 hours after he was sworn as the president, he launched a heinous attack on unarmed protestors at Galle Face Colombo in the early morning of July 22nd 2022. Asia Commune totally condemns this inhuman attack by the Sri Lankan government’s army and police.
We assure and declare to the international community that it is very difficult to have any confidence in democratic governance in Sri Lanka.
