18th amendment passed, 161 in favour

[lkdood]

The 18th amendment to the Constitution was passed in parliament a short while back with 161 voting in favour and 17 against.

The DNA and the TNA - excluding one member voted against the amendments.

However a total of 17- UNP MPs including eight SLMC members who were elected from the UNP voted in support of the amendments. TNA MP for Ampara district M. Piyasena voted in favour.

The UNP MPs Lakshman Seneviratne, Earl Gunasekara, Manusha Nanayakkara, Upeksha Swarnamali, Nimal Wijesinghe, Shri Ranga and Abdul Carder crossed over earlier in the day to the government and voted in favour. The others were the eight SLMC members elected from the UNP and two other UNPers – Prabha Ganeshan and Palani Digambaram who crossed over earlier.

The UNP had decided to boycott the sessions claiming that the amendments were unconstitutional, but the government argued that it would help to have a stable government.

well i can understand ur concern but i always get the impression that whenever the JVP terrorists support something it's gotta be a bad thing, for, otherwise they won't support and when they are opposing there's gotta be something good about it cuz if it's really that bad then they won't oppose. i can't get over this feeling..
i might be wrong but my understanding about these terrorists is that they'd always chose what's bad for the country.

මේ කෙහෙම්මල සම්මත්ත කර ගත්තට මේකෙන් මහින්දට හරි නාමල්ට හරි වැඩක් වෙන්නේ නෑ.මහින්දගේ ජනප්‍රියත්වය තිබුනේ අපේ හමුදාවේ කොල්ලන්ගේ දක්ෂකම් නිසා විතරයි.මේක හැමදාම වලංගු නෑ.ඊලඟ ජනාධිපතිවරනය එනකොට මිනිහා හොඳටම නාකියි.එතකොට සමහර විට ඇප නැති වෙන මට්ටමකට එන්නත් පුලුවන්.
නාමල්ලාට ජනාධිපති වෙන්න පුලුවන්නම්, මෙලහකට,අනුරලා, හේමලාත් මේ රටේ ජනධිපති වෙලා.
මේකෙන් මොකා ප්‍රයෝජනයක් ගනීද කියලා අපි තාම දන්නේ නෑ.ඒකයි මේකේ භයානක කම.මේ මිනිහා මොන බම්බුවකට මේක ගෙනාවද කියලා මටනම් තේරෙන්නේ නෑ.
අනාගතේ එන ජනාධිපතිවරුත් හොඳට හොරකම් කරලා,ඒවා මංත්‍රීන්ට බෙදලා බලය තියාගන්න උත්සහ කීරීම තුලින් රට විප්ලවයකට යන්නත් පුලුවන්.හොරකම් කරන, රටේ ප්‍රජාතන්ත්‍රවාදය නැති කරන ඒකධිපතියන් කියෙන්නෙ විනාශකාරීන්.මුන් මේ රට සංවර්ධනය කරයි කියල හිතෙනවනම් , අපි පල් මෝඩයෝ.
ජනබලයක් නැත්නම් මොකක් තිබ්බත් වැඩක් නෑ
