The leader of the Mahajana Eksath Peraruma (MEP) party accused the Sri Lankan government of omitting constitutional clauses affirming a Unitary State and the primary place of Buddhism at the request of the Tamil National Alliance.
Speaking at a media briefing, MP Dinesh Gunawardane, said,
“Even though the first anniversary of the government is falling on January 9, pledges made by the government to the people have not yet been fulfilled. The so-called good-governance and economic development are not established in the country. Meanwhile, the country is being going to another dangerous situation. If these proposals are made laws, eventually the country will be divided into two. The government should carefully work on the proposals which affect the country without being relied on political parties. We should stand against this dangerous situation irrespective of caste and religion.”
The party leader added that before such major changes are made, the people should be consulted in a referendum, reports dailymirror.lk.
