19th Amendment Sabotaged; Best Option is to Dissolve Parliament

( April 21, 2015, Sydney, Sri Lanka Guardian) While it was scheduled to debate the 19thAmendment to the Constitution today (21) and tomorrow (22), the objective of the ugly scenes created by the Rajapaksa scums led by Wimal Weerawansa, Dinesh Gunawardena, Vasudewa Nanayakkara and Kumara Welgama yesterday was to sabotage that effort by sleeping on the floor of the Parliament, otherwise considered the august body of people’s sovereignty, until this morning and continuing their commotions and disruptions even when the parliamentary sessions commenced this morning.
