Colombo: The anti-government protesters destroyed President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s official residence, claimed to have recovered millions of rupees inside his mansion. A video is being shared on social media showing the protesters counting the currency notes that were unearthed.
The recovered money was said to be handed over to the security personnel. Authorities have informed that they will take steps to announce the ground situation after probing the relevant facts.
Report says, Hundreds of anti-government protesters on Saturday stormed into Rajapaksa’s residence in central Colombo’s high-security Fort area after breaking the barricades, as they demanded his resignation over the nation’s worst economic crisis in recent times. Another group of protesters entered the private residence of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and set it on fire.
The President’s whereabouts is still not known. His only communication outside since the protesters stormed into the city has been with the Parliament Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena, who announced late Saturday night that the President would resign on Wednesday. President Rajapaksa informed the Speaker about this decision to quit after Abeywardena wrote to him seeking his resignation following the all-party meeting of leaders held Saturday evening.
