Govt’s version of ‘National Assembly’ instrumental in repressing challenges against govt: AKD

Date:

Contradictory to the formation of a National Assembly instrumental in solving the country’s problems on many aspects as proposed by the Opposition, the government’s version of a ‘National Assembly’ would be instrumental in repressing the challenges against the government, said Leader of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) and the National People’s Power (NPP) MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake, joining today’s (20) parliamentary debate on the formation of the proposed National Assembly.

Should a National Assembly be formed, an interim government should be established for a fixed period and the Prime Minister and the Cabinet should be appointed with the agreement of all parties representing such an interim body, the MP emphasised, alleging that what is happening right now, on the other hand, is the appointment of persons of their own choice for the titles, where the Prime Minister, the Board of Cabinet and even a pool of 38 State Ministers have been appointed in an uneven manner.

Therefore, a ‘nominal’ National Assembly only to repress the pressures exerted by local and international communities amidst the threats and challenges faced by the government will not serve the country at all, Dissanayake pointed out.
