Seeking the public's support to maintain peace in the country, Sri Lankan Chief of Defence Staff, General Shavendra Silva, on Sunday said an opportunity to resolve the current political crisis in a peaceful manner is now available. His statement came hours after President Gotabaya Rajapaksa agreed to step down this Wednesday, following violent protests in which demonstrators stormed his house forcing him to flee.
