Colombo (News 1st); MP Kumara Welgama claims it was then Opposition Leader Mahinda Rajapaka who instructed MPs to support the 19th Amendment to the Constitution.

All MPs except for one voted in favor of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution and Kumara Welgama who now represents the Samagi Jana Balavegaya said he was among those who voted in favor of 19A.
