The JHU will be looking to discuss the draft constitution with the UNP, said General Secretary and Sri Lankan Minister, Patali Champika Ranawaka.
“Under Ranil Wickremesinghe in 1994, the UNP proposed to do away with the unitary state. It is good that it is talking about creating a unitary state once again. If the UNP is willing to do so, we are ready to discuss its new constitutional reforms though we are not clear about some of the proposals like the three options proposed in place of the executive presidency,”
“We are fully opposed to the 13th Amendment. But we have been flexible to discuss five facts concerning the 13th Amendment with any political party."
"Government has put forward two of them to the cabinet today. We call upon every political party to join hands to find a solution in this regard despite political advantages.”
