JVP blocks two-thirds majority

13 June 2010 07:25 am

The JVP today vowed to prevent a two-thirds majority in Parliament for the government to bring about constitutional changes in an "ad hoc manner" at this time.  The party said that it would be done with the help of other parties in the opposition.

Parliamentary group leader of the JVP-led Democratic National Alliance Anura Kumara Dissanayake told a news conference today that the opposition would try to muster the support of certain sections of the government for this purpose. (KB)
