In Sri Lanka, which is facing an economic crisis, there has been a tussle between the central bank and the government. The Central Bank Governor says that the situation can improve if the government does not interfere in our work. The treasury of Sri Lanka, which is facing a financial crisis, has only 5 thousand crore rupees in foreign currency. There is an acute shortage of necessities.
On the other hand, the anger against President Gotabaya Rajapaksa is not decreasing. Demonstrations continue on the streets even during rain. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka's Finance Minister Ali Sabri said that his country needs about 22 thousand crore rupees so that it can come out of this situation.
Printing of newspapers is also being affected in Sri Lanka due to unbridled inflation. To save expenses, many newspapers have cut their pages. Apart from this, some newspapers stopped printing on Saturday for Sunday's special edition.
Sabri has appealed to the IMF for help. To deal with the crisis, the Government of India has given financial help of about 4 thousand crores. On the other hand, opposition leader Sajith Premadasa has demanded the resignation of the entire Rajapaksa family, demanding the abolition of the post of working president.
