'If you don't listen to the people, we will bring a no-faith motion' - Sajith

COLOMBO (News 1st); Sri Lankan Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa has warned that if the President and Government do not heed the calls of the people, the Opposition will be compelled to proceed with a motion of no-confidence as per the provisions of the constitution.

In response to the government members commenting to bring forth such a motion, the Opposition Leader noted that those in government should not forget that 6.9 Mn people voted for the President, and 6.8 Mn people voted for the government.
