The Fort Police arrested 10 members including the President and Secretary of the Leasing and Loan Payers Association, accusing them of forcibly entering the premises of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka this morning (08). (Sri Lanka Latest News)
A woman and 09 men were among the arrested people.
While the interest rate of the depositor is 8 percent, the leasing interest is 28 percent, and the laws should be amended to reduce this interest rate, which destroyed the small and medium scale industrialists, to stop illegal vehicle hijacking, and to enforce the law against the murderous leasing companies. protestors demanded.
They said that this satyagraha was initiated because the Central Bank did not receive any response to the demands made for two years.
The protestors, who joined the leasing companies and said that they are abusing the law and power of the police, said that in the last month alone, about six thousand vehicles have been seized illegally.
