Speaker Karu Jayasuriya has cautioned that the future of Sri Lanka would depend on the manner in which the people conduct themselves during the next few days.
Mr. Jayasuriya, on his Twitter handle warned that a similar situation to that of 1983 during which terrorists legitimised their crimes, will arise if communal violence cannot be prevented.
He urged that the President and the Prime Minister must "neutralise extremists on all sides immediately".
Future of Sri Lanka will be decided by the way people behave in the next few days. If communal violence cannot be prevented, terrorists will be able to legitimize their crime, as did once in 1983. I call upon the President and PM to neutralize extremists on all sides immediately!
