Opposition MP Shanakiyan Rasamanickam of the Tamil National Alliance tells NDTV the violent clashes in Sri Lanka have been perpetrated by supporters of the ruling Rajapaksa family, and not anti-government protesters whose demonstrations have largely been peaceful. The Opposition insists President Gotabaya Rajapaksa must step down, and that there are worries that the current violence has been orchestrated as a precursor to imposing martial law.
