After a snap decision by President Maithripala Sirisena to appoint former President Mahinda Rajapaksa as Prime Minister in place of Ranil Wickremesinghe, a political storm is now bound to come to Sri Lanka. This decision has left the country in a peculiar political situation. The pressure is now mounting on Sirisena to convene a parliamentary meeting and resolve this constitutional crisis.

राष्ट्रपति मैत्रीपाला सिरिसेना द्वारा पूर्व राष्ट्रपति महिंदा राजपक्षे को रानिल विक्रमसिंघे के स्थान पर प्रधानमंत्री नियुक्त करने के आकस्मिक फैसले के बाद, श्रीलंका में अब राजनीतिक तूफान का आना तय है। इस फैसले ने देश को एक अजीब राजनीतिक स्थिति में लाकर छोड़ दिया है। सिरीसेना पर अब दबाव बढ़ रहा है कि वे संसदीय बैठक बुलाएं और इस संवैधानिक संकट का हल करें।
