JVP files motion to say ‘Mahinda cannot’


lankaturthFRIDAY, 07 NOVEMBER 2014
The JVP filed a motion in the Supreme Court today (7th) requesting Supreme Court to hold the hearing regarding the request by President Mahinda Rajapaksa asking for a determination from the Supreme Court whether he could contest for a third term and whether a presidential election could be called before his second term ends justly and requesting an opportunity to the party to make submissions.
The Registrar of the Supreme Court accepting the motion had said the hearing had already ended.
Attorney-at-Law Sunil Watagala, who presented the motion on behalf of the JVP, says if the hearing had been ended already informing to submit written submissions before 3.00 p.m. today is nothing but a joke.
