Conscience vote on constitutional reforms by U. D. J. Jinadasa The proposed amendment to the Constitution which is due to be placed
before Parliament shortly will be significantly important to the national
politics of Sri Lanka. It envisages, inter alia, the curtailment of the
President's power of dissolution of parliament under Article 70 after the
expiration of one year from the date of the general election. The
Government seeks "conscience vote" for the safe passage of the
amendment with a two-third majority in parliament. Hopefully that will be
a break through for a new political culture. Other Stories
