President Dissanayake Defends Proposed 22nd Amendment, Pledges Swift Passage for Faster Justice

President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has strongly defended the proposed 22nd Constitutional Amendment, asserting it will accelerate the judicial process and ensure equality before the law. He vowed the amendment will not be reversed and will be presented to Parliament for swift passage once a Supreme Court determination is received. Remarks were made at public events and the National Milad-un-Nabi observation. Former Minister S.B. Dissanayake also supported the amendment, stating it strengthens the judiciary and that opposition is unfounded. The government assures careful evaluation of all decisions to avoid public detriment.
