06 Apr 2015 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

While lashing out at Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe for presenting a new set of Constitutional reforms on Friday, the Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) said that it would not allow the Prime Minister to hoodwink the people as he used to hoodwink the United National Party (UNP).

JHU General Secretary, Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka said that the Prime Minister had inserted new clauses in the Constitutional reforms, which was different from the draft already submitted in the Supreme Court.

He said the intention of these reforms was to create an authoritative Prime Ministerial post with executive powers.

"Mr. Wickremesinghe changed the UNP Constitution in 1995. He is the party leader even today as there is no room for democracy in his party. He may have deceived the UNP but he can’t deceive us. We won’t allow him to deceive the people,” Minister Ranawaka said. (Lahiru Pothmulla)
