The Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), the main constituent of the current ruling coalition, outlined today that it would support the implementation of the 13th Amendment along with the proposed revisions, reported Colombo Page.
Speaking to the state-run national radio, Minister Alahapperuma, indicated the party’s approval of changes to the amendment that prevented the merging of provincial councils.
However, the party also announced that it will wait until the appointed Parliamentary Select Committee confirm the revisions, before fully advocating the 13th Amendment.

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
