Sri Lanka Crisis LIVE Updates: Sri Lankan President's resignation to be announced at 7:30 am, says speaker's office
Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa on Thursday emailed his resignation letter to the parliament speaker. He had fled to the Maldives earlier this week and on Thursday took a Saudi Airlines plane to Singapore. Sources have, however, refuted media reports on their onward travel.
