ECT: Trade unions raise suspicions on Govt. members receiving wages from Adani

The National Organiser of the National Freedom Trade Union Center (NFTUC) Karunathilaka Herath has raised suspicions about the possibility of certain members in the incumbent government receiving wages from the Adani Group of India.
 
He made this revelation at a press conference held on Saturday (30) to brief on the Colombo Port's East Container Terminal (ECT) issue.

 General Secretary of the Independent Port Employees Union D.K. Jayasekera, General Secretary of the Jathika Nidahas Sevaka Sangamaya (JSS) Thushara Mendis, President of the Jathika Nidahas Sevaka Sangamaya of the Engineering Corporation Sameera Sudarshana and its General Secretary Nalaka Silva were also present at the press conference.

The allegations levelled by Karunathilaka Herath comes in the wake of reports on social media which stated that both members of the government and the opposition are receiving monthly wages from the Adani Group of India and as a result, are acting according to the whims and fancies of the Indian conglomerate.
 
However, it is now being revealed how the Chinese Yuan played a role behind the spate of protests that were initiated against the move to bring in Indian investment for the development of the ECT.
