President Mahinda Rajapaksa and his closest associates have shown their determination to amend the 13th Amendment to the Constitution that was enacted in 1987 as a part of an agreement between India and Sri Lanka. Whatever its political implications and repercussions this attempt has proved blatant immoral nature of the present regime. However, there is a glimmer of hope as this immoral determination was questioned and challenged within the governmental front by eight ministers. Some coalition partners of the government like the Muslim Congress, the Lanka Samasamaja Party, the Communist Party of Sri Lanka and the Democratic Left Front have already voiced their opposition to any amendment to dilute the 13th Amendment.
