NPP government will continue Provincial Council system: Anura Kumara

London, June 15 (Daily Mirror)- The Provincial Council system will continue in its current form under the National People's Power government until a new system is identified to create harmony among the Sinhala, Tamil and Muslim communities, NPP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said today.

Addressing a gathering in London, he said the NPP never accepts Provincial Council system as a solution to the national issue.
 
Dissanayake said the Tamil and Muslim communities believe that the Provincial Council is a right that they had won and that scrapping the system will create unnecessary issues.

"We will continue the PC system as an interim solution. We believe that it is not a lasting solution. Our policy is to continue the PC system in the current form until a lasting solution is identified," he said.
