The 13th Amendment
July 2, 2013,
This amendment was passed with UNP MPs taken in buses from hotels, in which they were housed to prevent protesters from meeting them, to Parliament for voting.
The amendment was a result of the so-called Indo-Lanka Accord, for the signing of which Rajiv Gandhi, the then Indian Prime Minister, came here and was assaulted by a naval rating. He was the first VIP to be assaulted in Sri Lanka.
