Samagi Jana Balavegaya (SJB) National Organiser Tissa Attanayake said the current economic stability in the country is a temporary situation due to the imposition of restrictions on the import of goods and the suspension of foreign debt repayments.

While speaking to the media at Hanwella on Saturday, he said he does not believe that the current situation in the country is stable.

“Once the debt repayment resumes and import restrictions are relaxed, the Sri Lankan Rupee is likely to depreciate again,” he said.

Meanwhile, the MP said if the government is working towards cancelling the nominations already given for local government elections, the it would an anti-democratic move.

He said if, for whatever reasons, the government decides to hold even the Provincial council elections, his party is ready for such en event.

Commenting on the Broadcasting Authority Act, the MP said they would not bring any such Broadcasting Authority Acts  under an SJB rule as it is not necessary to introduce such bills at the moment.

“Self-censorship can be established to strengthen the regulation on some matters instead of introducing such acts,” he said.
