Sri
Lanka's major Tamil political party, the Tamil National
Alliance (TNA) Leader, R. Sampanthan on November
16 said that any move to repeal the 13th Amendment
to the Constitution would cause harm to the country's
future, reports Colombo Page. He observed
that the 13th Amendment was the only provision that
recognized the diversity of the country to a certain
extent. According to Sampanthan, the Government
should do away with the system of devolution based
on the nine provinces and instead must bring about
a devolution and administrative system of three
or four zones, so that the expenditure to maintain
nine Provincial Councils can be reduced. |
