Sri Lanka PM tells military to do whatever necessary to restore order
Thousands of protesters stormed the office of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. …
But asked whether the prime minister’s statement was an indication that the army might take control, a human rights lawyer in Colombo, Bhavani Fonseka, told the BBC’s World at One that Sri Lanka “doesn’t have a history where military has played an active role in politics or government – unlike some of the other countries in the neighbourhood”.
