Opposition MP Lakshman Kiriella tells Newsfirst that the Commanders of the tri-forces have also made a request to acting President Ranil Wickremesinghe to step down.
MP Kiriella also said that the Commanders had explained that the youth of the country who involved in this struggle are near the gates of parliament, and wanted permission to repel them by using force.
“We said we cannot agree to such a request,” he said adding that at the last party leaders meeting the call was for the President and the Prime Minister to resign.
