Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe taking to his official Twitter handle said the UNP will now take steps to ensure that the government in place before Oct 26 will continue.
Further he asked that "all government servants and police that you cannot carry out illegal orders from the purported government that has failed to demonstrate the confidence of the people"
Mr Wickremesinghe also said " It is incorrect to say that Parliament was adjourned without a conclusive decision. The Speaker ruled that this purported government does not enjoy the confidence of the House and is illegal. We have further provided a confirmation signed by 122 MPs in favour of this resolution."
We will now take steps to ensure that the government in place before the 26th Oct will continue. I wish to inform all government servants and police that you cannot carry out illegal orders from the purported government that has failed to demonstrate the confidence of the people.
