This man, Pissu Sira, was the worst president in Sri Lanka prior to the arrival of the current President, Nandasena.
He does not have a clue of the Constitution. He sacked the PM, Pissu Wickka, and the Courts slapped him on his face and restored Pissu Wickka as the PM.
Now he is talking about an ‘Interim Govt’; he does not know what it means.
Dear Pissu Sira, an Interim Govt can be formed only after the Parliament is dissolved and according 19A, before 5 years of election date, Parliament can only be dissolved by majority (or 2/3rd’s, not sure) vote in Parliament.
Pissu Sira, the masses protesting want you you tighten your amude and go back to your Brother in Anuradhapura. That way, he will send you food while you are in Prison for crimes against humanity.
