US urged to prevent her citizens from participating coup in Sri Lanka
Most unfortunate is that two U.S. citizens are actively involved in this coup and it is unbecoming of any U.S. citizen to participate in such a coup in any country that has adhered to a Parliamentary system of Democracy
( October 30, 2018, New York City, Sri Lanka Guardian) “As
you may be well aware that there is an ongoing political crisis in Sri
Lanka following a `constitutional’ Coup to change the constitutionally
appointed Prime Minister and the Government and also to appoint a Prime
Minister who did not prove that he commands the confidence of the
majority of Legislators in the Parliament which is an essential
prerequisite, according to the Constitution of Sri Lanka,” noted in a
letter sent to Mr. Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State to the United States
of America.
“Most unfortunate is that two U.S. citizens are actively involved in
this coup and it is unbecoming of any U.S. citizen to participate in
such a coup in any country that has adhered to a Parliamentary system of
Democracy,” the letter added.
“Therefore, I am writing to you to urge you to prevent U.S. citizens
from taking part in any coup, political or constitutional in Sri Lanka.
Thank you for your time for considering my request,” the letter has
further requested.
