The national unity government is the weakest government in Sri Lanka’s political history, Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) Leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said.

He said the government was akin to a bull and a buffalo being put to draw the same cart: ‘they go in two different directions,” he said.

He said the government’s main communication arm, the weekly Cabinet Press Briefing had become a joke.

“Just look at Rajitha Seneratne,” he said, “All they do is make jokes and waste people’s time.”

He said Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has visited the ‘World’s End’ recently – “I was worried he would want to sell that next,” the JVP leader said.

“This is a government that has been unable to come up with any principles or action that do not include selling,” he said.

“We must united to topple this government,” Dissanyake said.
