Acting UNP leader Karu Jayasuriya today said that if the late Dudley Senanayake held the executive presidency, the public would not demand to abolish the Executive Presidency, as Mr. Senanayake used the emergency law only once and that too to protect the people’s rights.

“Mr. Senanayake used the emergency law to protect people’s right, but currently the emergency law is being used to suppress the people,” Mr. Jayasuriya said speaking at the 41st commemoration ceremony of the late Prime Minister at Borella.

He also said that the Late Prime Minister never wanted to have the Executive Presidential system in Sri Lanka.
