Former Speaker and Chairman of Constitutional Council (CC) Karu Jayasuriya refuted reports today that suggest he would reconvene the Parliament unilaterally and urged the Executive to take steps in order to avoid another Constitutional crisis while the country is fighting the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
"While fighting Covid-19, Sri Lanka does not want another constitutional crisis. Therefore, rumours that I would reconvene the Parliament unilaterally are false. All efforts must be taken by the Executive to avert a crisis. In a dispute, I am bound to uphold the judiciary's decision," Speaker Karu Jayasuriya said in his official Twitter handle today.
