Colombo Telegraph, Opinion.<\/p>\n

Dear Editor,<\/p>\n

Correction to the \u00a0Article appeared on 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0January 2013 under Caption \u00a0<\/span>Siripala, Wickremasinghe \u00a0and the Validity of Parliament\u2019s Interpretation of the Constitution<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I refer to the e-article appearing in the Colombo Telegraph of 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0January 2013 under the caption \u201cSiripala, Wickremasinghe and the Validity of Parliament\u2019s Interpretation of the Constitution<\/a><\/span>\u201d by Elmore Perera<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

In the last paragraph of the said article the writer has stated, among other matters, that \u201cOPA earnestly urges the President,..\u201d The reference to the OPA is wrong and incorrect as the OPA has not made such a request or \u2018urged in earnest\u2019 on the subject referred to. I wish to add further that the views expressed by the writer are his personal views and not the views of the OPA. Views of the OPA can be expressed to the media only by the President of the OPA after obtaining approval from the Executive Council and no other person, whether such person is a past president or a person who ceased to be the holder of the post of president due to a no-confidence motion been passed against him can express the views of the OPA.<\/p>\n

I shall thank you to correct the reference made to the OPA.<\/p>\n

Thank you,<\/p>\n

Benedict Ulluwishewa,<\/p>\n

President.<\/p>\n
