A Sri Lankan government minister met with a senior Buddhist monk today, to brief the clergy on the process to draft a new constitution for the island.
Minister of Megapolis and Western Development Champika Ranawaka briefed the Chief Prelates and told them that “misleading information” was being spread according to Colombo Gazette.
The process to draft a new constitution has seen fierce resistance from the Buddhist clergy and Southern politicians, particularly to attempts to introduce federalism and devolution of powers to Tamil regions.
We need your support
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
