New Delhi: Sir Ed Davey, the chief of the Liberal Democrats, has demanded that a global arrest warrant ought to be issued in opposition to Sri Lanka President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and his “cronies”.

“The horrible state of affairs in Sri Lanka has been caused by the corruption of the Rajapaksa Authorities, tax cuts, skyrocketing defence expenditure and draconian police powers,” he was quoted by the media.

Talking within the Home of Commons, Davey instructed that the UK works with worldwide companions for a full financial and political resolution to “assist the democrats in Sri Lanka,” which incorporates the issuance of an arrest warrant.
