Former Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa is set to return to the island nation next week. Let us tell you that there was a massive protest against him in Sri Lanka in July, due to which he left the country.

 

The Daily Mirror said on Wednesday that former Sri Lankan Ambassador to Russia Udayanga Veeratunga, who is also related to Gotabaya, has indicated that Rajapaksa will return to the country on August 24.

 

Sri Lanka is facing its worst economic crisis, which has led to massive protests in the country, forcing Rajapaksa to flee the country and resign last month. was also handed over.

 

Responding to a question on Rajapaksa's return, Veeratunga said, the date may change. Today I am saying this with responsibility, but if he changes the date later then I cannot do anything about it.

 

Asked whether Gotabaya Rajapaksa would join politics again, Veeratunga said that he was not a shrewd politician but a shrewd official.

 

"I don't think our people should be fooled again," he was quoted as saying by the Daily Mirror. He is not a shrewd man like a politician, he is a shrewd military officer. He has no qualities like Mahinda Rajapaksa. So he did everything wrong. Veeratunga said that former President Rajapaksa will serve the country.

 

It is worth noting that Gotabaya Rajapaksa arrived in Thailand after leaving Singapore last week. According to media reports, he was given entry to Thailand after the request of the Sri Lankan government.

 

He left Singapore last Thursday after staying in Singapore for nearly a month. The former president was issued a 14-day travel pass on arrival at Singapore's Changi airport from the Maldives last month and was allowed to stay there for two weeks.

 

Thailand has denied that the former President of Sri Lanka has sought asylum in the country. Thailand's foreign ministry said it had received a request from Rajapaksa to travel to the country to seek political asylum.

 

Thailand had no problem entering Rajapaksa's diplomatic passport, which would allow him to stay for 90 days, the Daily Mirror quoted Thailand ministry spokesman Tani Sangrat as saying.

 

Thailand will be the second Southeast Asian country after the Maldives where Rajapaksa is seeking temporary asylum after fleeing his island nation last month amid widespread protests.

 

The Speaker of the Sri Lankan Parliament, Mahinda Yapa Abbewardene, announced Rajapaksa's official resignation on 15 July. Following the resignation of Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe was sworn in as the President of Sri Lanka in Parliament on 21 July.

 

Wickremesinghe was previously appointed as the interim President of Sri Lanka as Rajapaksa fled abroad after angry protesters stormed his palace amid the unprecedented economic crisis.
