Jan 18, 2016
Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe stressed that there is no impediment for the Buddhism or to the unitary entity of the country by the formation of a new constitution.
“We are all Buddhists, I am a Buddhist, I am a Singhalese and a Sri Lankan. My objective is to unite the country which was divided. We should go forward. I would urge the small political parties not to betray the country in order to gain petty political benefits”
The prime minister made a special statement at a media briefing held at Prime Minister’s office that a only a constitutional forming board has been proposed at this moment.
“In 1972, Sirimavo Bandaranayake summoned a constitutional board. During the welcome speech in the parliament she obtained the required permission. We all participated for that. Although they did not accept our opinions we all participated. Everybody got a chance to speak”
The Prime Minister said except people’s representatives public ideas too would be taken in to consideration.
“Visumpaya has been selected to take public opinion to compile the constitution. Visumpaya which was used for bottle parties before has been chosen to compile the constitution. People can go and give your ideas. We would join all people in the country and all the political parties to start this. I don’t think we cannot reside in a room and compile the constitution through a junta”
The prime minister said we can make use of the social media to take the ideas from the youth.
The prime minister said as promised by the president in the funeral of Rev. Maduluwawe Sobitha the constitution would be compiled by taking the consent of all stakeholders in the country.
