President to Clarify Govt’s Stance on Constitution Soon

New Constitution or amendment to the constitution  is yet to be   decided and declared  by the  Government.

 Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera earlier this week informed the UNHRC in Geneva that a new Constitution with a referendum would be introduced and co-Cabinet Spokesperson, Dr. Rajitha Senaratne affirmed his statement at the weekly Cabinet media briefing on Wednesday, “It is the government’s stance”, said Minister Senaratne adding weight to the argument.

At the same time,  the SLFP reported to have been  insisting that only amendments that do not need a referendum would be made,  while the UNP has been firm that they there would be a new Constitution with a referendum.

In the meantime,  UPFA General Secretary Minister Mahinda Amaraweera said yesterday, as the question of the referendum remained unanswered between the two major political parties in the country, President Maithripala Sirisena will soon  clear the clouds  and make clear what the government’s stance on the Constitution.
