Colombo [Sri Lanka], June 2 (ANI): Demonstrators against Gotabaya Rajapaksa-led government in Sri Lanka have denied claims that they had met the Sri Lankan President and alleged that false claims were being made in an attempt to scuttle the ongoing struggle at Galle Face.
Protestors in the island country have been protesting for nearly two months now at Galle Face, situated near the secretariat and the protest site 'Gota Go Gama Village' has gradually grown. With the country battling with an unprecedented economic collapse due to diminishing foreign reserves and huge debts, the protestors have been demanding the resignation of President Gotabaya.
The slogan of the popular protest is 'Gota Go Home', stating that President Gotabaya should leave office and on social media the protests have been trending as '#GotaGoGama (or Gota Go Village)'.
Speaking to reporters, 'Gota Go Gama' activist Randimal Gamage said that no one from the 'Gate Zero' the 'Aragalaya' or 'Gota Go Gama' at Galle Face met the President, Colombo Gazette reported.
However, earlier, the demonstrators have said that two monks had met the President and claimed that they represent the "Aragalaya" (struggle) at Galle Face.
'Gota Go Gama' activist Randimal Gamage said that the main demand of the demonstrators is that the President must resign from his post.
He said that false claims are being made in an attempt to scuttle the ongoing struggle at Galle Face, reported Colombo Gazette.
