The Inter University Students Federation says the present government has caused many issues by holding the dollar shortage hostage.
The IUSF said the present government is responsible for all current crises, as financial management is the responsibility of the country’s rulers.
Convener Wasantha Mudalige speaking to media during the protest held at Galle Face yesterday said the public has stepped out and are demanding the resignation of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and the government, united as one voice.
He added the economic crisis, the shortage of essential items including fuel and gas have led to requests for the government to step down.
Mudalige claimed the government repeatedly cited the lack of foreign reserves as an excuse, and continued to fill their personal pockets through the hard earned money of the public.
