In addition, certain social activists are also backing this group, with Attorney Shiral Lakthilaka posting on his Facebook page that citizens who support the government&#8217;s proposal are suffering from depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, numerous investigations are continuing to reveal how political patronage was granted to individuals involved in financial crimes and other offenses under previous governments. During Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe&#8217;s tenure as Minister of Justice, his son, Attorney Rakhitha Nirmala Rajapakshe, was arrested on court orders over allegations of extorting money from an underworld figure, and is currently released on bail.<\/p>\n<div class='saic-wrapper saic-default saic-border' style='overflow: hidden;'><div class='saic-wrap-link'><a id='saic-link-28864' class='saic-link
