While the SC cannot determine the impact of the 20th Amendment on democracy in #srilanka, @LuwieNiranjan highlights the need for public awareness on the Bill's implications. Several articles on Groundviews https://t.co/ZmDDNRXAUZ flag these implications of the #SL20A. #lka

I don't want to comment on the determination of the Supreme Court. I haven't seen an official version + as someone who appeared in the case it seems improper to comment on the outcome whatever it is. But the "destiny" of #lka democracy is not with the Supreme Court (1/4)
