In over 90 days of public agitation, Sri Lankan people have ousted Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, his younger brother Basil Rajapaksa and entire cabinet and replaced it ex-PM Ranil Wickremesinghewho as the Prime Minister.However, on July 9, the protesters took over the President's house and the Prime Minister's official residence, thus symbolically taking over the government.The protesters allowed the public to view the colonial era houses with archeologically valuable buildings and artifacts, where thousands of Lankans from far away villages thronged freely.The protesters cooked food for public on either side of the green lawns of the Prime Minister's official residence while others made merry playing music.The protesters also arranged to distribute food to those visiting the President's house and said that they would vacate the public premises once the President and the Prime Minister leave their seats.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
