US Senator Van Hollen in a letter addressed to President Maithripala Sirisena has urged him to end the current impasse in a manner that is consistent with the constitution.
The letter noted that the recent series of actions displayed by the President have put Sri Lanka in a great risk as far as the rule of law and democracy in the country is concerned.
Mr. Hollen, in the letter, also said that the ties between US and Sri Lanka could be threatened owing to the President's move to oust Ranil Wickremesinghe as Prime Minister, the suspension of Parliament, the attempt to call for snap elections while also rejecting the votes of the parliamentarians.
