According to the Daily Star on July 11, Sri Lankan protesters played wrestling in the prime minister's bed.
Demonstrators stormed the official residence of Ranil Wickremesinghe and attacked the residence of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
After storming the Prime Minister's residence, the Protesters performed an impromptu wrestling on the people's bed to celebrate the Prime Minister's ouster, seemingly with long-standing anger. The video has garnered nearly 800,000 views, and one user commented: "The fun of wrestling in prime's bed is different." If you think about it, it is not a special situation, and it is difficult to see the furnishings and arrangements in their homes.
On Saturday (July 9), thousands of people took to the streets to protest the current economic crisis that plagued the country, as well as fuel shortages and rising costs of daily living, and Vikramasingha decided to resign as prime minister.
In Sri Lanka's commercial capital, Colombo, a similar scene was seen in President Rajapaksa's palace, where demonstrators were seen swimming in his pool, exercising at his gym, gulping down and lounging on the couch, basically as if they were in their own home. Get on your feet and talk to people you don't know, lie in bed and chat, play with your phone, and take pictures.
The president, like Vikramasingha, chose to resign, leaving before his palace was taken over.
He was accused of corruption and mismanagement that damaged the country's economy.
In a televised address on Sunday (July 10), Speaker of parliament Mahinda said: "In order to ensure a peaceful transition, the president said he would resign on July 13. The decision to step down was made to ensure a peaceful transfer of power. I therefore ask the public to respect the law and maintain peace. ”
According to the Sri Lankan Prime Minister's Office, on the morning of July 11, local time, Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has notified the Prime Minister to formally announce his resignation.
