The Jathika Hela Urumaya has called for the appointments to the Bribery, Elections and Judicial services commission under the proposed 18th amendment to be void of politics and be independent.

The JHU also said this measure should be taken to maintain good governance and strengthen people’s power. (SAJ)

This amendment promises the exact "opposite"!! And you the JHU know this all too well!!! '... this measure should be taken to maintain good governance and strengthen PEOPLE’s power' - pls don't insult our intelligence by saying this... not all of us are so blind (or deaf for that matter) to the obvious!!!!!

JHU no longer represents ‘the Sihala Urumaya’. Instead they represent ‘Vedawasm Urumaya’ (Feudal Legacy)

Why didn't JHU call for these independent commissions under the 17th amendment?

The JHU will vote for the 18th amendment and pontificate about depoliticisation and good governance. Things cannot get more ridiculous than this

Double standard should be avoided if you either support a move or dont support should not conflict own actions and statements..

JHU's call sounds like allowing a pretty damsel to stay alone with a vigorous young man and asking him not to touch her.
