Archbishop of Colombo, Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith says that all leaders should act swiftly to resolve the prevailing political crisis.

 He made this statement while addressing a media briefing held at Archbishop’s House, Borella.
 
The Archbishop stressed that leaders of all political parties should put the people and the country before all other things.
 
“Otherwise, many problems may crop up if this situation continued,” he said.
 
“The Mahanayake of the Malwatte Chapter also expressed views of the present situation in the country.
 
“Politicians should put country before themselves and strive to protect and promote the well-being of the people and the nation at all times,” the Malwatte Chief Prelate said.
