Replying to the tweet, Kumar Sangakkara who is known for representing Sri lanka’s cricket team in the past, accused the “supporters” of Rajapaksa for instigating the violence. He said that he goons and thugs went on to attack he peaceful protesters and it caused the violence.

In a statement that was released on Tuesday, Rajapaksa’s office said that he was quitting in order to help form an interim, unity government, following weeks of sometimes violent protests across the country over shortages of fuel and other vial imports and spiraling prices.

The announcement was preceded by severe clashes between pro-Anti-government protesters in Colombo, the country’s commercial capital.
