“I served my motherland to the best of my ability and I will continue to do so in the future,” former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has said as he defended himself in his resignation letter which was read out during a special session of Parliament on Saturday (16).
Parliament met briefly to announce the vacancy in the Presidency following the resignation of Gotabaya, who fled to the country on Wednesday (13) after a popular uprising against him for mishandling the country’s economic crisis.
The resignation letter sent by Gotabaya from Singapore was read during the thirteen minute special session.
