As Sri Lanka continues to deal with an economic crisis, former cabinet minister Namal Rajapaksa urged protesters to maintain peace as violence is not the solution. His statement comes after a Sri Lanka court today banned former prime minister Mahinda Rajapaksa and 16 allies from leaving the country over acts of violence against anti-government demonstrators. Namal Rajapaksa, the son of former prime minister Mahinda Rajapaksa said that there was provocation from both sides. "There is no law and order at the moment," Namal Rajapaksa told NDTV.
