Signing of ECTA is similar to Ranil's death warrant-VASU
Addressing a media briefing in Colombo the Member of Parliament Vaudeva Nanayakkara had this to say:
"By pruning the fertilizer subsidy has caused the government to lose all cooperative votes at the forthcoming provincial and local government
elections. Hence the government has got scared to hold these elections.Hence the government wants to have a referendum.In the meantime the authorities of the international monetary fund had said that if we need money to change the tax structure.What the IMF says it to acquire tax from non tax payers also.
In respect of international loans, budget and exchange the government is in a soup within a pan If the ECTA is signed without been tabled in parliament it would be like signing the l death warranty of the Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe. Thinking that way is most prudent."
