‘Gotabaya Rajapaksa will return to Sri Lanka soon’

Former Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa will return to Sri Lanka from Singapore soon.

Sri Lanka’s cabinet spokesman Bandula Gunewardena gave the information on Tuesday, reports Daily Mirror.

Singapore has granted a 14-day short-term visit pass to the former president as he entered the country on a private visit on July 14, according to immigration authorities in Singapore.

After reaching Singapore, Rajapaksa submitted his resignation to the Sri Lankan speaker on July 13, a day after fleeing. Earlier this month, anti-government protesters had stormed the offices and official residences of the president and the prime minister, demanding their resignation.
