President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa separately condemned the violence at the Galle Face area earlier today which injured over 20 persons. “Strongly condemn the violent acts taking place by those inciting & participating, irrespective of political allegiances. Violence won’t solve the current problems,” President said in a tweet. “I request all citizens to remain calm & exercise restraint. I urge everyone to work together in solving this crisis,” he added. The Prime Minister in his tweet said: “While emotions are running high in #lka, I urge our general public to exercise restraint & remember that violence only begets violence. The economic crisis we're in needs an economic solution which this administration is committed to resolving.” Police curfew was imposed countrywide after supporters of ruling Sri Lanka Podu Peramuna (SLPP) after a meeting with Prime Minister Rajapaksa thronged the anti-government protest site “Go Home Gota” at Galle Face damaging temporary camps and other stalls and setting fire to some.
