Cardinal Ranjith demands resignation of Sri Lanka leader (AsiaNews)

Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith of Colombo, Sri Lanka, has renewed his call for the resignation of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

At a July 5 press conference the cardinal charged that Rajapaksa has lost the ability to lead the country through a period of crisis. He said that the president’s family “considers their political power more important than the wellbeing of the people.”
