Sri Lanka's Leader of Opposition and head of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) alliance Sajith Premadasa today said that the opposition will support all positive steps taken by the freshly sworn-in Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe to rebuild the country's economy even though he was disappointed that the major opposition parties weren't even consulted before the president Gotabaya Rajapaksa made the appointment.  "Whether the crisis is going to be sorted out is a question left to the government. We, as a constructive and progressive opposition, are determined to provide constructive, productive support for any positive proposals that aim to alleviate the suffering of the common masses," he told NDTV.
