The Sirisena- Rajapaksa administration should burn the draft constitution prepared by the previous government, Ven. Elle Gunawansa Thera said yesterday, addressing the media in Colombo.
“That draft Constitution as well as the sale of our vital assets were among the biggest crimes perpetrated by the Wickremesinghe administration. If that Constitution drafted at the behest of Western nations is passed, the country will be divided and foreign powers will be able to exploit its natural resources.”
The new government must also try to reclaim sold assets like the Hambantota Port, he said.
Convener of the Federation of National Organizations (FNO) Gunadasa Amarasekara said that only the Chinese ambassador had acted with proper decorum and respect. “This is an internal matter of the country and the government can sort it out.”
