Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa has called on parliament to immediately bring back the dollars revealed in the Pandora papers as one step towards resolving the Sri Lankan dollar crisis.

Then there is no need to go begging for dollars, he said.

Businessman Thiru Nadesan and his wife, former Deputy Minister Nirupama Rajapaksa, a close relative of the President and the Prime Minister, were exposed in the Pandora Papers controversy.

Although the President instructed the Bribery Commission to probe the matter, nothing of significance has come out of the investigations.

The Leader of the Opposition also said that Sri Lanka should embark on an export oriented economic development.

He also requested the President to release Ranjan Ramanayake in the name of humanity.
