Lake House displays banners of Ranil

Lake House, Sri Lanka’s oldest major press house, has hoisted up banners of Ranil Wickremesinghe, as the UNP leader was sworn in again as prime minister on Sunday.

The banners were displayed just days after UNP supporters attempted to storm the building on Thursday, leading to clashes that ended with the deployment of Sri Lanka’s Special Task Force.

The state-run Lake House, also known as the Associated Newspapers of Ceylon Limited, publishes 3 daily newspapers, 3 weekend newspapers, and 5 weekly newspapers.
