President Maithripala Sirisena attended the International Day of Yoga at Independence Square yesterday, in spite of the rainy weather. President Sirisena came out strongly against calls for military rule by a senior monk last week, saying the country had already tasted authoritarianism in the years preceding January 2015 and vowing that his Government would never allow a dictatorship or a military junta to take shape in the country again (Pic: Presidential Media Division)
