Champika And Gammanpila Criticise 20th Amendment To The Constitution: Challenges JVP To Debate

Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) General Secretary Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka and Pivithuru Hela Urumaya leader MP Udaya Gammanpila have both publicly criticised the proposed 20th Amendment to Constitution.

Addressing a press conference yesterday Ranawaka said the proposed changes would bring instability the country, and suggested the entire constitution be revised, rather than be subject to cosmetic changes.

Meanwhile, MP Gammanpila challenged Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) leader Anura Kumara Dissnayake to a public debate over the proposed amendment.

He said the amendment drafted by the JVP had been done in an immature manner and was filled with mistakes.
