Lanka Violence Staged To Bring Martial Law: Opposition

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.
