Maithripala Sirisena: Aragalaya

Abstract

FALSE: Irrespective of who is there [in positions of power], an unconstitutional event has already taken place in the country… The other thing is that none of the 225 MPs, the current president or prime minister can take the required decisions about the country. The public has rendered their power void… the public has come to Colombo and demonstrated the people’s sovereignty outside of the constitution and have declared that “it is we have who have the power now, not you”.– Maithripala Sirisena, Pathikada on Sirasa TV, 11 July 2022
