Introducing a new Constitution is only a dream because the government has run out of time already, National Integration Minister Mano Ganesan said.

He said this at the National Inter-religious Symposium held yesterday at the BMICH. The event was organised by the National Peace Council.

“I personally feel there is a need for a new Constitution as there are so many problems to be solved. However, it was supposed to be introduced during the first year of the ‘Yahapalana Government’ but we couldn’t make it happen. It is impossible to devise a new Constitution before this government’s term expires,” he said. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

    Hey man, we voted for MS for a change in the constitution. That was a pledge given during the last presidential elections. People like you have to be sent home at the next elections.

    Why do we need a new constitution,currently the priority should be to solve problems of NE Tamil peple.Problems could be poverty,education , healthcare etc etc.New constitution will not solve these problems.

    Government has no mandate to bring it. Whole programme was manipulated under the couch. Sinhalese majority representatives were not given a chance. Violation of natural justice.

    In lanka everything is a dream. Leaders come snd go only memory long term conflicts and all catastrophes witnessed since independence. Yes we must thank the person to give us free educations but now the education turned to political withy washy with teachers educators manipulated by political interference who will respect any politicians who ask a female educator to knee he could not know. Each and every leader must try to keep his promises not paying attention to it is something society find difficult to comprehend

    It is time we sent these bunch of politician to the garbage bin. All they are interested in staying in power by "hook or by crook". They do not care about the people.

    Mano Ganeshan is right. The new constitution was the Prime Minister's idea, what he has failed to do in three long years how can he do in the next t short years. The man must be a HOUDINI.

    unfortunately he stuck in bond scam,that confused every thing,other wise he may do something

    Hey man you are part of the Got.. now if the new constitution is not put forward you also take responsibility for that without trying to put the blame on others.

    You cannot force a constitution that suits your fancies on sinhala public even with your American and Norwegian friends. Remember that
