20th Amendment to be brought as Private member's bill : Anura Kumara 

The proposed 20th amendment to the constitution in order to abolish the executive Presidency will be brought as a private member’s bill, leader of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) Anura Kumara Dissanayake said. 
 
Addressing a media briefing today at the party’s headquarters in Pelawatta, Dissanayake said the bill will be brought to parliament before the end of May. “Despite promises by various parties throughout the years to abolish the Presidency this has not happened” he said adding that therefore the JVP feels they have the right to bring about such a bill to ensure it is followed through. 
 
Speaking further Dissanayake also said that they will seek support from members of civil society, religious leaders, other parties as well as the public to bring about this much needed reform.
