22A – AKD remarks on the biggest irony of fate
COLOMBO (News 1st) – Leader of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna led by the National Peoples Power (NPP), Anura Kumara Dissanayake says that the biggest irony of fate is the fact that those who raised their hands for previous amendments is also raising their hand for this amendment.
Speaking at the Parliament, the MP said that when the 19th amendment was abolished and the 20th amendment was introduced, many voted for it, and the same MPs then voted for 20th amendment to be abolished and the 21st amendment to be introduced."I don't know, this Parliament is a parliament with amazing people who raise their hands for removing the same amendment and bringing back the same amendment," he remarked.
Dissanayake pointed out that many said that the dictatorial power granted on the President through the 20th Amendment was okay, are the ones who raised their hands to cancel the very same amendment to bring forward the 22nd amendment, harking it as the only way to solve the country's issues. "Therefore, Deputy Speaker, I think it is the biggest irony of fate that the same people who brought the 20th amendment, the same people who raised their hands for the 18th, are the very ones who are talking in favor to bring about the 22nd amendment to the Parliament," he added..
