Former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa left the country amid the political turmoil in Sri Lanka, but now former PM Mahinda Rajapaksa and Basil will not be able to do so. The court has banned him from leaving the country. Basil Rajapaksa has already tried to leave the country by taking a plane on the Silk Route, but the workers' union stopped him at the airport itself. Basil Rajapaksa has been the Finance Minister of Sri Lanka.

 

Earlier, Mahindar and Basil Rajapaksa had filed affidavits in the Supreme Court saying that they would not leave the country till the hearing of the fundamental rights petition filed against them is completed. It was only after Basil Rajapaksa tried to leave the country that a petition was filed against him in the Supreme Court. Basil Rajapakse is the younger brother of Gotabaya Rajapakse. He had resigned from the post of Finance Minister in April itself.
