Following a meeting with top law enforcement and intelligence officials at the Secretariat on Saturday, the Home Minister addressed questions from journalists in the evening.
When asked whether he and other officials would consider resigning to improve the current situation, the Home Minister responded, "If necessary... if such a situation arises, and if the Prime Minister deems it appropriate... We always work for the country. We will do so if the Prime Minister believes it is needed."
The statement came in response to demands from students involved in the anti-discrimination protests, who have called for the resignation of the Home Minister and several other ministers.
