Sri Lanka’s main opposition Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) staged a protest in Colombo Fort against the proposed 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, led by Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa.
SJB parliamentarians, party members and supporters joined the demonstration, expressing their opposition to the proposed constitutional amendment.
Addressing the protest, Premadasa said the SJB would use every democratic means available to defeat the 22nd Amendment.
“We will do everything within our democratic means to defeat the 22nd Amendment,” he said.
Mr. Premadasa added that the SJB would continue its campaign against the proposed amendment both inside and outside Parliament while pursuing its opposition through democratic means.
The protest comes amid growing political and legal debate over the proposed 22nd Amendment.
