S. W. R. D. blindfolded at Galle Face revolt

On Friday, when the continuous protest at GotaGoGama at Galle Face marked three weeks, protesters blindfolded the statue of late Prime Minister and Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) founder S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike at the site.

Aside from blindfolding it with a black cloth, protesters also placed a large billboard at the foot of the statue with the words “Wake Up” written in Sinhala, Tamil and English.

This was after party leader former President Maithripala Sirisena held talks with President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and later announced that the talks were successful as the President had agreed to form an interim government.
