Government must introduce new constitution : Ven. Elle Gunawansa Thero

COLOMBO (News1st): The government must introduce a new constitution instead of amending it, Ven. Elle Gunawansa Thero has said. "Do not try to repair the defects in the constitution by amending certain provisions," the Thero said when two government lawmakers paid respects to him on Wednesday. He insisted that the suggestions put forward by the monks must be included in the constitution. The Thero added that several previous amendments made to the current constitution need to be amended. The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna's parliamentarians Gevindu Kumaratunga and Anupa Pasqual paid their respects to Ven. Elle Gunawansa Thero at the Dharmayathanaya in Colombo.
