Wimal Weerawansa, Dinesh Gunawardena and Vasudeva Nanayakkara as well as a group of SLFP MPs are involved in this conspiracy.

They had a discussion at the home of former minister G.L. Peiris yesterday afternoon.

The constitutional council comprises the president, the prime minister, the speaker, the opposition leader, and several intellectuals.

Mahinda loyalists have decided to exert pressure to pave the way for MPs, in place of the intellectuals, to be its members in an attempt to sabotage the council.
