Left Circle Co-convenor Chameera Perera said the Constitution should be formulated to prevent the rise of fascism and to ensure the ordinary people's right.
Addressing a media briefing in Colombo yesterday, he said former President Mahinda Rajapaksa does not like to devolve the power democratically.
He is not a democratic leader. He did not wage the war for the benefit of the country, but to ensure the continuation of his family rule, he said.
He tried to bring the 19 amendment to have a military control constitutional monarchy. We saw how politicians interference the police investigation through the Nilame's call answered by the IGP. Hidden political forces behind the scene were now revealed through the IGP, he said. He further said the effects made by certain dig wigs on the present administration to protect the corrupted people and robbers of former regime was a big problem.
The Law and Order Minister must make a statement on this matter. This government was also have certain VIPs who do not want to see people's aspirations fulfilled, he said.
Recalling a statement made by Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe, he said that the minister would not arrest former Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa because they are from the same village. So we ask whether Yahapalana government was elected to protect people from the same village, he queried.
Former President's camp and this government have reached some agreements to protect their people. That is why none of the investigations were conducted against racketeers supporting him. We asked what happened to the investigations into Wimal Weerawansa's forged passport and death of a youth at his house, he questioned.
He said the government is trying to offset the payments due to the Port City contractors by selling a block of land from Hambantota. The People's Collective Movement Convenor Saman Ratnapriya said a number of proposals made by them have included in the budget 2017.
Among them are a night city concept, streamlining public transport at night, extending opening hours of government institutions providing essential service to the public until 10pm, conducting academic courses in government universities until 8pm and establishing training school for government servants, he said.
