Namal: Oil prices were increased by citing a global crisis to cover up the coal scam

Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa addresses the media and says this:

Many countries in the world prepared for this beforehand. However, to cover the loss incurred due to the coal scam, the oil price had to be increased for the very first time today.

So, ultimately, the entire public has to bear the loss from the coal scam. And now, they are trying to save themselves by limiting that burden to a world war.

So, when the government cannot fulfill the promises made to the people of the country, and when the people question them about those promises, they point to a global crisis. Now, how did this very President say it in Parliament before? He said global crises don't matter. He said we will make the decisions we need to make. The President who said that is now talking about a global crisis. Blaming us won't solve anything.
