The new constitution should suit needs of the 21st century, and it will not harm the country’s unitary status or the place given to Buddhism, he says.

He was making a special statement from Temple Trees today (17).

The entire country, not just the UNP and the SLFP, will put in for the new constitution that aims to benefit everyone, said the PM.

All can submit views and suggestions to the panel headquartered at Visumpaya, tasked with formulating a new constitution, he said.
