The Western Provincial Council yesterday passed a resolution against the resolution passed by the Northern Provincial Council, Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) Provincial Councilor Nishantha Sri Warnasinghe said. Warnasinghe also serves as an advisor to President Maithripala Sirisena.
“We urge the President and the PM to reject the demand for federalism at a time the whole country has geared to achieve reconciliation with the Tamils. He said the North’s attempt is to create two separate federal governments in the island based on language and ethnicity. This is constitutionally and legally incorrect,” Warnasinghe said.
