The Attorney General had advised the Justice Ministry Secretary that the draft of the 20th Amendment to the Constitution did not attract the holding of a referendum in terms of Article 83 of the Constitution, AG’s Coordinating Officer State Counsel Nishara Jayaratne said.

She said the AG had further informed the Justice Ministry Secretary that the 20A draft bill might be enacted by the Parliament with a two-thirds majority.

    Mr.AG, when you make statements you better think of your future as well, because today's situation is not for another five years time.

    AG knows, whether it's referendum or not it's going to get passed. Thank you AG for saving tax payers money.

    Sri Lanka can have referendum to find out whether Tamils wants to separate from Sri Lanka or not. Then it can use the results to counter any propaganda against the government.
