When the Ministerial Statement was sought, one of the issues, which was given for the strike was the issue of cost of fuel. The letter to His Excellency the President is very clear. They are calling this strike for eight days, effective from 19th to 27th December. So, I am just curious when he says he consulted. Who did he consult?
