In pictures: SJB stages protest near parliament
The Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) led by Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa today led a protest outside parliament demanding the government to reduce fuel prices and provide concessions to the public.
Almost all SJB members joint the protest after arriving at the location in motorcycles, tractors, land masters or their own vehicles.
Mr Premadasa said that the government had failed to provide relief in several aspects and have gone on to increase fuel prices adding further burden to the public.
He said that the government should quit and their party – the SJB was there to stand in as the alternative.
He said in addition the farmers were facing a crisis due to the lack of fertilizer.
MPs carrying placards walked from the Parliament junction to the main entrance.
