Where in the world do you find devolution of power for a minority which is less that 10% of the population? and that too only in the northern province! The PC system is a white elephant and most of the provinces can't sustain such a system due to lack of resources including human resource! that is the reason thugs get in to the system!

I can remember during the IPKF time in Sri Lanka, they forcibly recruited Tamil Youths and gave military training and named that force as CVF. That time most of the Tamils and the LTTE have strongly opposed that. However the prevailing situation tends me to think that the Tamils should have co-operated with them. At least they would enjoy some kind of freedom.

Those parties which are bent on abolishing PC system, fielded their candidates in the previous PC elections.
The can not fool people forever.

I do agree with most Ven. Thibbatuvawe Siddhartha Sri Sumangala Thera and wish to add that not only the provinces are geographically large enough but also they lack the necessary resources to function independently. The provincial councilors are thugs in their area and these are the ones who will end up in parliament after some years! We have to do away with it as soon as possible. The presidential system also should be done away with.

No doubt this is a waste of money. However, it is part of the devolution and part of a solution to a serious and larger national issue. The same for the executive presidency as well as the PR system. Rather than simply proposing abolition of a system, why not the govt propose the alternative to it? why not tell what is exactly wrong with it and how the alternative would handle it? overall how any other system will address and put an end to a national issue and make this country a true paradise? Educating the people not only on the flip side of a system but also of the benefits of an alternative and bringing the country together is what is required

did the govt. also obtain the blessings of these monks to pass the Divineguma bill??? or they consult only when it suits them to justify a decision already taken

opposition wants to work for the happiness of so called international community rather than satisfying uneducated foolish sinhal community.

PC system has been introduced for the devolution of powers to minorities. You can't justify the abolishing of PC system by saying PC counsilors are thugs. Some MP's even Ministers also behaving like thugs, shall we abolish the Parliament then?

Main problem in Sri Lanka is the anti Tamil Religious interference in the government affairs. Removal of 13 is a violation of Indo Lanka accord 1987. amendment may leads to redeployment of IPKF. As Prabaharan is not there any move by India will be supported by Tamils

The PC system is a curse for our country. A small country like ours does not need this system. this system make the country begging, poor and ruined. It is a wastage of public money, making politicians rich and thugs.
bandara Tuesday, 30 October 2012 04:58 AM
going by the way the voting public have been casting their franchise it is apparent that the people want this system so that they can elect their thugs in to office and seek favors in return
