Sri Lanka’s new PM Ranil Wickremesinghe said he had appointed a panel to look after the interests of the ‘Gota Go Home’ village protesters who have been camping in Colombo since April 9. Wickremesinghe, who was appointed by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa after asking his elder brother Mahinda Rajapaksa to quit, said the views of the protesters would be sought for the shaping of future policy.
