Govt is bad, is opposition better, asks daily

Colombo, June 22 (UNI) Sri Lanka's beleaguered government is proving incapable of resolving the country's worst economic crisis, a leading newspaper said on Wednesday, but pulled up the opposition too for resorting to "gimmicks" at a time when the country is battling an unprecedented economic meltdown.
In an editorial, The Island pulled up two main opposition parties for beginning a boycott of Parliament starting from Wednesday to protest against the government's failure to resolve the crisis that has seen Colombo pleading for international economic support to survive.
"The incumbent government has manifestly failed to prove that it is equal to the task of managing the present crisis. It is groping in the dark apparently in the hope that the crisis will resolve itself with the passage of time!" the editorial said.
