Former Army Commander MP Sarath Fonseka has warned that the government was opening the door for a military coup in the country by introducing the 18th Amendment to the constitution.

Speaking at a press briefing in Parliament a short while ago Fonseka also expressed disappointment over the UNP boycotting the debate on the 18th Amendment to the constitution.

    Don't worry. The Commander of the Army is not strong enough to stage a coup.
