The Hon. Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam
Hon. Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam urged the Government, in the presence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, not to delay the adoption of a new Constitution, arguing that economic recovery depends on it. He stated that his side is willing to help establish a special fund for the North and East with partner countries, but warned against postponing constitutional reform and seeking another election instead.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Okay, thank you, Sir.
¶ 02 Although there is much more to say, due to time, I will make one final request while the Minister of Foreign Affairs is in the House. As long as you delay a new Constitution, the economy will not revive. We are even prepared to help create a special fund for the North and East with partner countries. But if you time-pass without a new Constitution and go for another election, you will go home in a worse situation than the Gotabaya Rajapaksa Government. Please take this into account. Thank you.
