An
island-wide one-day hartal will be held today, With the support of about 2,000
trade unions, shops across the country are closing shops and raising black
flags to protest against the President and the government.
Previously
there was a huge Hartal campaign in Sri Lanka in 1953 and today it is 69 years
after this island wide Hartal campaign. In particular, it coincides with
Gotabhaya Rajapaksa’s 69 million votes in the presidential election.
If the
President and the government do not step down as a result of the one-day
hartal, all work in the country will be suspended from May 11 and a continuous
island-wide hartal will be called.
