Sri Lanka, surrounded by a huge economic crisis in seven decades, saw huge public protests and demonstrations, due to which Rajapaksa went to Singapore via Maldives on July 14, it was said in the reports.

In the past, thousands of protesters had camped at the President’s Office and the President’s residence. Due to this, former military officer Rajapaksa had to resign from the post of President.

Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe said on Sunday that it was not the right time for Rajapaksa to return home as it could escalate political tensions, according to the Wall Street Journal.
