Parliamentarians should resign and allow the people to elect a new government. This is what the Archbishop of Colombo, Card. Malcolm Ranjith, criticising the political stalemate that has been created in the country after the postponement of local elections.
"It cannot be said that the people of Sri Lanka like these rulers, because we voted for another agenda that no longer exists today. On the contrary, they are trying to come up with other new programmes," said the cardinal, who also called for action against parliamentarians committed to undermining the authority of the judiciary.
However, earlier this month, the Supreme Court issued an order stating that the government has no right to withhold the funds and obliges the Treasury to allocate them. "It has been reported that two MPs have called this decision a violation of their parliamentary privileges by the Supreme Court. The matter should be viewed with great concern," the cardinal continued, pointing out that no one can interfere with judicial matters under the pretext of parliamentary privileges."I call for action to be taken against these MPs to ensure that the freedom of the judiciary is maintained," he added.
