The speaker, Deputy Speaker And All MPs Bound By The Oath They Have Taken – LfD

Do you think the politicians of Sri Lanka know anything about the constitution? Even if they can read the constitution they will not be able to understand. Ranil is a good example. He did not allow the UNP -PSC members to attend the courts, by doing so he has proved beyond doubt that he cannot understand the constitution (I know he can read it).
“‘Lawyers for Democracy’ is committed to invoke the jurisdiction of court to seek that those who have subscribed to the oath under the Constitution and has acted in violation of the Constitution are declared disentitled to hold such positions.” says LfD.
Lal Wijenayaka -Convener LfD
Issuing a statement LfD Convener Lal Wijenayake says; “The Speaker, Deputy Speaker and all members of Parliament has taken an oath of office under the Constitution to uphold and protect the Constitution. The speaker, Deputy Speaker all member of Parliament are bound by this oath and any violation of the solemn oath under the Constitution will disentitle them to hold the office and any citizen has a right to move court for a writ seeking declaration that the member is not entitled to sit in Parliament and / or hold office as they have violated the oath of office. It is strange that these responsible persons who are tasked with the duty of governing this country are either ignorant or arrogant to make these statements without realizing the grave consequences that follows from such statements.”
