He has stated this while issuing a special announcement on the occasion of the one year anniversary of the people’s struggle.
The special announcement issued by the opposition leader Sajith Premadasa!
At this moment, we respectfully remember the unique people’s struggle carried out by the citizens of this country a year ago, succeeding in marking a special milestone in the history of world struggles.
For more than two years, the country was being pushed towards a serious tragedy through short-sighted, arrogant and arbitrary rule.
Its decisive moment was the Galle face ninety-day civil struggle.
The final result of the struggle, which was carried out with only a pencil or a protest sign in the name of justice and humanity, was that the autocratic president, the prime minister and the government had to go home, after that, the same or even more tragic situation is happening under President Gotabaya Rajapaksa. Only a brutal dictatorial brutality can wave the bayonet of repression or the lance of threat against the generation of citizens.
But the Rajapaksa government and this government are also doing it.
For higher purposes, the present government is also engaged in a frenzied conflict with the civilized aspirations of the street people of this country.
The government launched the repression from the beginning, especially targeting the frontline figures of the struggle, and it has now extended to the civil society and the media.
The people’s struggle in this country, the powerful executive president, and the government that boasted of having two-thirds were able to be trapped in the middle of four walls, and then became powerful until they were ousted, should be emphasized to the current government.
From the moment the struggle began, the aims and goals of the struggle coincided with our aims and goals, so their struggle received our blessings.
The citizen’s struggle ended in victory due to not being caught by the cunning and cowardly goals of the rulers, and non-violence.
Sajith Premadasa
Leader of the Opposition
