Supreme Court overturns president's decision to dissolve parliament
In Sri Lanka, Motion of no confidence approved against Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa
NOV 14 (WTN) - The phase of fluctuations in the politics of Sri Lanka, neighboring countries located in the south of India, is continued. For your information, let you know that in Sri Lanka these days, there is unrest political atmosphere due to the President Maitripala Sirisena’s decisions. In the latest developments, Sri Lankan President Maitripala Sirisena was severely shocked when the Supreme Court lifted its controversial decision to dissolve Parliament and banned preparations for the proposed mid-term elections on January 5.
The Sri Lankan government and Prime Minister Ranil Vikramasinghe, who were sacked, would be happy by the Supreme Court's decision between the political upheavals in Sri Lanka, and definitely he must have gained strength. A bench of three members of the Supreme Court, chaired by Chief Justice Nalin Pereira, gave the order after a two-day court proceeding on petitions filed against President Sirisena's decision to dissolve Parliament.
For your information, let you know that in the Sri Lanka, President Sirisena had taken the disputed step and dissolved Parliament almost two years before the completion of the term. In its judgment, the Supreme Court said, "President Sirisena's decision to dissolve Parliament will remain suspended till December 7 and before the court will give any final arrangement next month, it will consider all the petitions related to the President's decision."
This decision of the court means that Parliament can now be convened and floor test can be done to find out whether the Prime Minister appointed by the President in the 225-member parliament has a majority or whether Mahinda Rajapakse has a majority. Following the Supreme Court verdict, the Speaker of Sri Lankan Parliament, Karu Jayasurya has called a Parliament session today.
Here, the Parliament of Sri Lanka voted against the newly appointed Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapakse's government. It is being seen as a major setback for President Maitripala Sirisena. Parliament Speaker Karu Jayasuriya announced that the Parliament has approved the motion of no confidence against Prime Minister Rajapaksa.
For your information, let you know that when President Sirisena cleared that Mahindra Rajapaksa, who had been sacked by Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe, had no majority in Parliament, he had dissolved the Parliament. At the same time, he had issued an order to hold the mid-term elections of the Parliament on January 5, after which there was a political crisis in this country.
Yesterday, i.e. on Tuesday, during the hearing, the Attorney General, Jayanti Jayasuriya, appearing on behalf of the government, upheld Sirisena's move and said, “The powers of the President are clear and distinct and he dissolved Parliament according to the provisions of the Constitution.” Attorney General Jayasuriya urged all the petitions to be canceled and said that the President had powers to dissolve Parliament.
Here, Sri Lankan analysts believe that the President of Sri Lanka can’t dismiss the Prime Minister before his four-year term and also he can’t dissolve Parliament.
Responding to the Supreme Court's decision here, Vikramsinghe said, "People have won their first fight." On this issue, he wrote in his tweet, "Let’s go ahead and establish sovereignty of the people in our beloved country.”
Now we have to see what is the next in the politics of Sri Lanka? Experts believe that China is gradually increasing its influence in Sri Lanka and Sri Lanka is under the debt of China. Ranil Vikramasinghe is considered to be backed by India and Mahinda Rajapaksa is backed by China. International policy makers believe that Vikramsinghe has been removed from his post due to China's pressure. China's growing influence in Sri Lanka's internal politics is the cause of concern for India.
