JVP to Present Proposal to Remove Executive Powers of President in Parliament on April 19 or 20

While speaking to the media at the Parliament Lobby yesterday, JVP Leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said that  the 20th Amendment to the Constitution to abolish the Executive Presidency will be presented in Parliament on April 19 or 20.

He said the Amendment would be presented as a Private Member’s Bill.

Further he said that the Government has failed to keep to its promise of abolishing the Executive Presidency even after three years in office. We will give the initiative to this move through the 20th Amendment.
