He further said thus “Even when the clergy had announced that there is no need of a new constitution, the government pays no attention on them and continues with the way they wanted and added a journey without the blessing of Mahanayaka theros would have no success.” Even the Archbishop of Colombo had  cautioned the government on introducing a new constitution.
