- The Sathyagraha launched in Hingurakgoda on the basis of five demands to rescue the entire people, including women, from the microfinance debt trap in the country has been going on for more than 50 days, but so far no one in charge of the government has paid attention to it. Karu farmer leader Kaudulle MK Jayatissa says.
He was responding to questions raised by journalists on the 27th. He also said,
“Today is the 52nd day of the Sathyagraha to be held in front of the Hingurakgoda State Monuments. As the convener of the Association of Affected Women who have obtained micro finance loans, I request you to pay attention to these five requests as soon as possible.
At least no discussion has been given. The government does not care for these victims. That means the government does not care about the women who are engaged in satyagraha here. The government has been following a silent policy since the inception of this issue. I urge you to keep a very sensitive eye on these women as promised in that election. Because these are women. If a group of men were involved in a struggle, they would be able to cope. But women are a very sensitive group. They are waging a non-violent struggle for a solution to this problem. Therefore, is the government moral or not regarding this sensitive issue? It is the responsibility of the government to consider their five demands and resolve this issue.
These women will not stop this struggle even if it is not for 5 years. Until then, these women will carry on this struggle. Then the government will have nothing to do. Therefore, we urge you to immediately address the sensitive issue of women trapped in this microfinance debt trap and provide immediate solutions. ” He also said.
