Sri Lanka's Parliament Speaker Asoka Ranwala announced his resignation on Friday following days of speculation about him falsifying his educational qualifications.
“In recent days, a problem with my educational qualifications has been raised in society. I have not made any false statements about my educational qualifications,” Ranwala said in a statement.
Asserting that he currently does not possess any documents to prove his qualifications, Ranwala said that it would also not be possible for him to obtain these from the relevant institutions.
