All should support Constitutional Amendment

Asela Kuruluwansa

It is alright to support the proposed Amendment to the Constitution as it is not harmful to the country, said Asgiri Maha Nayaka Most Venerable Udugama Sri Buddharakkhita Thera and Malwatu Anunayaka Ven Niyangoda Vijithasiri Thera.

The Asgiri Maha Nayaka Thera was of the opinion that if the people have kept confidence in a certain leader and if his leadership is necessary for the country he should have the opportunity to serve the people unhindered by term limits.

The Malwatu Anunayaka Thera said that what is proposed is only an amendment to the Constitution that is brought forward to do away with hindrances to the development process going on at present. It is wrong to oppose it on narrow political interests, he added.
