Sri Lanka Food Shortage
Sri Lanka to face severe food shortage: Former PM Ranil Wickremesinghe
Colombo: Sri Lanka's former PM Ranil Wickremesinghe has expressed doubt that the country might face a severe food shortage as the Indian credit facility given for fuel will end by the first week of May.
He also demanded the Mahinda Rajapaksa-led government’s resignation.
Expressing his views during a discussion with a group of private bankers in Colombo yesterday, UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe was quoted as saying by Colombo Page that there could be a severe food shortage in Sri Lanka in the future as the government is not able to provide the fertilizer needed for the Yala season yet.
The UNP leader said the public including the youth have taken to the streets demanding the immediate resignation of the government and a system but the Parliament has failed to provide a proper solution.
He said the revolutionary change demanded by the people must be heeded.
