What is the final out come of the hunger strike of the fisher people? According to the information I received from the protestors Fr. Patrick Joseph, the Vicar General has communicated to them on Thursday, that Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith had spoken to President Mahinda Rajapakse and he agreed to provide a subsidy or concession by September.
This was the initial solution Cardinal Ranjith received even when Cardinal visited to the protestors last Wednesday.
So what is the difference when the protestors agree to the fuel subsidy last Thursday? We need to have some clarity as NAFSO membership also expect some campaign till they get a concessions for their issues.
We expect and observe Catholic church heirachy and heirachy of the regime keep their promises to fishermen.
We will discuss this at the next NAFSO SC meeting.
