Sri Lanka's minister of power and energy, Champika Ranawaka denied support for full implementation of the 13th Amendment, stating that the cabinet was yet to make a decision on it.
Last month, Sri Lanka's prime minister, Ranil Wickremasinghe told parliament, that the new government was committed to implementation.
"We will implement the 13A within a unitary framework," Mr Wickremasinghe said.
However, when asked if he supported the full implementation of the 13th Amendment during a live Twitter Q&A on Monday, Mr Ranawaka, who is also General Secretary of government coalition partner and Sinhala nationalist party, the JHU, replied: "No cabinet decision to fully implement 13th amendment".
Tamils in the North-East, have long rejected the 13th Amendment, which calls for devolution of power to the provinces, as a solution to the island's ethnic conflict.
