Thousands of Sri Lankans are converging at the Galle Face Green on Colombo, a landmark esplanade opposite the Presidential Secretariat calling on President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to resign.
The people’s protest has grown in number since it started about a week ago with people giving vent to anger against the president and his government over shortages of fuel, domestic gas , power outages and rising costs of essential goods.
The Galle Face Green with the central theme “ Go Home Gota” have brought together people from all walks of life, ethnicities & religions cutting across political party affiliations which usually divide people when calls to send a politician is the message.
The movement has also widened with calls for an end to rule by the Rajapaksa family and for more accountability, transparency & peoples participation in decision making.
