Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa today announced his decision to resign from his post.
His resignation comes in the midst of calls by the public for the Prime Minister to step down over the failed economy of the country.
The protesters are also calling for his brother Gotabaya Rajapaksa to resign from the post of President over the prevailing crises in Sri Lanka.
Even though earlier reports claimed that the President had requested the Prime Minister to step down, the Prime Minister refuted the reports, stating that no such request had been made and that he will not step down.
However, following several discussions among the ruling Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna party (SLPP) and its constituents parties, the Prime Minister has decided to resign from his designation. (NewsWire)
