Please, not under Rajapaksas. They'll even call SL Rajapakistan.

Chandrika Bandaranaike came to power pledging to abolish what she called the "Bahubootha Viyawasthawa" within a particular time frame but did not keep to her word by even trying to stay in power beyond the legal period allowed under the constitution. Then came the "messiah" , Mahinda Rajapakse, who also pledged under his Chinthanaya in 2005 to abolish the executive presidency and present a new constitution to make the president answerable to the parlliament. But what he do ? He even abolished the 17th amendment and introduced a new 18th amendment to allow himself unbridled power and even extended terms. Now, with the proposed 19th amendment, he is going to consolidate his powers to become a virtual Dictator. And the funniest part is that these very same politicians refer to the people as "sovereign power". Perhaps, what they mean by "people" are themselves, their family members and their hangers-on.
