Government must work on new Constitution without delay: Cardinal

The Archbishop of Colombo Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith specifically urged the government to introduce a new Constitution which brings in national unity.

“The Government should lay the foundation to a new Constitution immediately without waiting till its term ends,” he stressed.

“It should lay the foundation for a new Constitution now itself without waiting till its term ends,” he told journalists after a meeting he had with Speaker Jagath Wickramaratne who made a courtesy call on him during the weekend.

Speaker Wickramaratne said he will be fully committed to Constitutional reforms.
