Gota canvassed for a period of 5 years as per the constitution what Maithri got it confirmed, before the previous presidential election. So, the relevant term is to be over, shortly. Accordingly, any extension can only be done after a 2/3rds majority in the parliament and a referendum. The unelected president is greedy for power and destruction since he does not have a mandate at any time. His plan failed yesterday.

The opposition must submit a case in unison against that Fundamental right case considering the interests of the ordinary people without any tax exemptions and waving off their respective bank loans, by interfering that case, legal wise, to solve the matter soon.

There is absolutely no reason to halt the Presidential Election. This is a desperate attempt by someone who does not like Ranil.

Interesting! May I ask whose fundamental rights this is? given that the thieves in the parliament chose the current president rather than the general people.

This is another attempt of Ranil coz he is aware he wil lose the election. The court should reject this petition without any consideration as it is in contradiction of the constitution. If the courts considers the petition, all future Presidents also play with the constitution.

When petitions of this nature are filed doesn't this lead to confusion in the minds of the public. Deterrent punishment should be instituted for trying to manipulate the Constitution against the petitioners as it leads to confusion among the public who are waiting to elect a new president when a Presidential election is at hand and when the government has allocated the resources for this purpose!!!!!

This is why this cunning LGBTQ tried to extend Sanjay R the boot licker. He failed and is now trying another desperate tactic. Next he will try chaos and declare emergency and try to avoid the election at least for a few months. Sooooo greedy. This is the behavior of LGBTQ.
