Colombo: Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe's party might take action against its local government member Sashi Hettiarachci who held a protest in front of the Chinese Embassy in Colombo asking China to restructure Sri Lanka's debt, media reports said on Monday.
"UNP has nothing to do with this protest held by pradeshiya Sabha member Shashi Hettiarachci. Our party believes in diplomacy and the government is engaged in resolving debt matters with China through diplomatic ties," Party General Secretary Palitha Range Bandara told Daily Mirror.
" Debt restructuring is a matter concerned with the minister of finance and not an issue of the Pradeshiya Sabha member. The party will decide on how to deal with the Pradeshiya Sabha member shortly," he added.
Hettiarachci had organized the protest close to the embassy recently.
