TNA reminds AKD of his pledge to bring in a new constitution

The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) has called on the ruling National People’s Power (NPP) government to enact a new constitution as promised before the elections.

Former Member of Parliament M. A. Sumanthiran said the government can use it to provide solutions to the issues faced by the Tamil people.

Sumanthiran made these comments following his participation in a TNA politburo meeting.

However, he also noted that since the government has been in power for only about four months, they should be given some time to draft it.

Speaking at a rally in Jaffna on September 05, 2024, Dissanayake said an NPP administration will draft a new constitution on the premise of equality, democracy and participatory governance as one country, picking up where the 2015-2019 Wickremesinghe administration left off.

“We have presented a proposal for a new constitution. A summary of that proposal has been given to you. We will get this constitution approved at a referendum in a very short time and make it Sri Lanka’s main law,” he said.
