MP Mano Ganesan taking to his Twitter handle said there is no such move to put forth a federal constitution as indicated by former President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
MP Ganesan was responding to a statement by Mr. Rajapaksa claiming that he grabbed power to prevent a federal constitution being brought in.
The tweet by the TNA MP said that there was not even a draft for a federal constitution.
He further said if a federal constitution was to be brought in, it would have to be passed by a 2/3rd majority in the Parliament and a referendum.
1/ #Mahinda says he grabbed power to stop new federal constitution from coming in. On the contrary, there is no constitution, not even a draft. There is only an interim report with all opinions including those of #SLPP members in the constitution making steering committee. #lka

2/ It is too after 3 year deliberations. As member of the steering committee I can say, a new constitution is far away let alone federalism! Even if it is coming it has to pass through the 2/3rd test in the house & a nationwide referendum. What a phony reason to grab power! #lka
