The JVP today said that it will submit a set of proposals outlining what it sees as the priorities of the new government.

Speaking at a press briefing in Colombo, JVP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said that the priorities included constitutional reforms encompassing changes to executive presidency, electoral reform and imposing limits on the membership of the Cabinet. There was a need for legal reforms as well, he added.

The government should respect the mandate given by the people and carry out these reforms as a matter of priority, the JVP leader said.
