Convener of the National People's Council Chameera Perera today (07) accused the President of ignoring health warnings by the WHO on a second COVID-19 wave, in order to draft the 20^th Amendment to be taken to parliament. “The President was too occupied with drafting an amendment that protected criminals and holding parliamentary elections to bring power to the government instead of making the country prepared for a second wave of COVID-19,” he stated. He also accused Ali Sabry of drafting the amendment as the President dictated, thereby allowing all the power to rest with the President and not allowing a democratic approach.
