NPP not expecting unlimited power like 5/6th majority: Tilvin



Colombo, November 04 (Daily Mirror)- The National People's Power (NPP) does not expect an unlimited power like that of a 5/6th majority in Parliament deactivating the opposition, NPP member Tilvin Silva said today.

He told a news conference that the NPP was expecting only a majority in parliament to run a government without any obstacles.

Responding to a question that NPP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake had said in an earlier occasion that any party must not be given excessive power, Silva said the NPP was of the same opinion even now.

"We do not need to exercise power like that of the 5/6th majority deactivating the opposition. But, we need a strong majority in parliament to run a government. The government needs to enact laws and amend laws. We need a strong majority to run the government,” he said.
