    After six long weeks. It is important to note that no citizen in Sri Lanka is above the Constitution of Sri Lanka.

    Can AG approve an executive action? I thought he can offer an opinion.

    Under what section of the Act?

    AG is a puppet of his masters, this is Srilanka, welcome to the land like no other.

    The AG belongs to the executive. He cannot therefore decide on measures taken by the executive whether the curfew is justified. Only the legislative, the parliament, can aprove a curfew on this scale. Until the parliament decides, the curfew is illegal. In order to legalize the curfew, which is so important for the health of the population, Parliament must be recalled again.
