Why minorities, especially Muslims oppose?
logoby Latheef Farook    -      June 24                       
20th-amendmentMuslims living scattered all over the island, with special concentration in the east but often in small pockets in the predominantly Sinhalese areas, fear that their representations in the parliament will be reduced considerably under the proposed 20th amendment to the constitution on electoral reforms
Thus they oppose the draft amendment in its present form gazetted on June 18.
