Uphold democracy and constitutional solutions: Youth political movement

15 Jul 2022

NextGenSL has expressed that as a collective of cross-party youth political representatives, they believe that there should be a peaceful transition of power in Parliament and that an all-party interim government should be established with the support of all political parties represented to find solutions to the current crisis. "The responsibility of the President, the Prime Minister, the Speaker, and everyone else is to take all necessary steps for this as soon as possible. Greed for excessive political power, petty internal power struggles, and blatant will only lead to further political unrest and more chaos," the movement said in a statement. NextGenSL strongly emphasized that this crisis should be resolved in such a way that constitutionality and the rule of law are secured. Any solution that goes beyond the constitutional framework will fuel anarchy and destruction, it mentioned, "We call upon all citizens of Sri Lanka to rally for political transformation through peaceful means and non-violence. No person or group that destroys public property, and promotes violence, will be part of such a transformation. We also appeal to the entire public not to lend your support to any group that incites violence," the statement continued.
