JAAF urges appointment of new government

11 May 2022

Issuing a statement last evening (10), the Joint Apparel Association Forum (JAAF) stated it is critical that a new government be appointed urgently to fill the current political vacuum. The Association expressed its empathy with the people’s distress over the extraordinarily adverse impact of the economic crisis on their lives and livelihoods, following the violence that erupted on the streets of Colombo and in other parts of Sri Lanka on Monday (9). JAAF stated that the resultant loss of life is both unfortunate and deeply saddening.  “However, violence that costs precious human lives deserves our utmost condemnation. We call upon leaders and authorities to immediately restore political stability across the country. They should also ensure a safe living and working environment for all people, as we collectively navigate through this very difficult crisis,” it added.  Further, it noted that by the same token, it strongly supports the efforts taken by the Bar Association of Sri Lanka to ensure a peaceful, democratic transition of power.  “We will also support the efforts of all other organizations that seek the same outcome: An end to the crisis and to the potential violence, and a return to political stability,” it stated.
