Mass Media Minister Dr.Nalaka Godahewa yesterday stated that political stability is the most important factor in overcoming any economic crisis prevailing in a country.
While stressing the importance of re-establishing political stability in Sri Lanka to overcome the existing economic crisis, Minister Godahewa said that the President has agreed to support an Interim Government or any other political solution in order to ensure political stability.
He was responding to a query by a journalist regarding the idea of an Interim Government at a media briefing held yesterday at the Government Information Department premises. Dr. Godahewa said the President was not taking a firm stand at the moment and that he had a very principled policy regarding the economic crisis and would not object if there was an agreement in Parliament to change the government.
The Minister further said that as a country with the oldest democratic structure in Asia, it is important for Sri Lanka at this juncture to protect parliamentary democracy and act in accordance with the Constitution and that the solution lies in Parliament and that all, including the people’s representatives, should work towards that end.
