Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa states that if an interim government is to be formed, it should be done under his leadership.
He made this statement in an interview issued by the Prime Minister’s Media Unit.
However, the group of 41 independent parliamentarians have focused on supporting the no-confidence motion brought by the Samagi Jana Balawegaya or bringing a new no-confidence motion if the Prime Minister does not step down from the cabinet.
Meanwhile, the Bar Association of Sri Lanka states that economic stability or a solution to the current economic crisis cannot be expected without building political stability in the country.
The Bar Association has also submitted a 13 point proposal to overcome the current crisis.
These include the abolition of the executive presidency within 15 months, the formation of an interim government by national consensus, and the appointment of an independent 15-member advisory council.
Among those proposals is the empowering of the 19th Amendment through the enactment of the 21st Amendment.
The Bar Association states that the President should not hold any ministerial post.
