Cabinet resigns en-masse as Sri Lanka crisis deepens

The trouble-torn Sri Lanka’s cabinet ministers tendered resignation en masse as protests over the government’s handling of the Island state’s worst economic crisis in decades escalated.

The cabinet of 26 ministers submitted letters of resignation with Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa and his brother President Gotabaya Rajapaksa still holding on to the power.

Of the angry protesters, many demanding the resignation of the Rajapaksa family say the move is meaningless.

On Sunday, many defied a curfew to take to the streets in several cities.

Sri Lanka is grappling with what is said to be its worst economic crisis since independence from the UK in 1948.

It is caused in part by a lack of foreign currency, which is used to pay for fuel imports. With power cuts lasting half a day or more, and shortages of food, medicines and fuel, public anger has reached a new high.

Education Minister Dinesh Gunawardena told reporters on Sunday that the cabinet’s ministers had tendered their resignation letters to the prime minister.

The prime minister’s own son, Namal Rajapaksa, was among those who resigned, tweeting that he hoped it would help the president and PM’s “decision to establish stability for the people and the government.”
