A high-level special meeting of the Blue party was held the other day. It had been convened to discuss the partyâs stand on the 20th Amendment. Â
Among the political stalwarts present at this meeting, there was a Presidentâs Counsel who, by the way, had held high positions in the Diyawanna council. Â
A Blue senior known to be a radical who is said to be ruining the day they threw in their lot with the present regime, had planned to use the legal expert as a catâs paw in a âgameâ he had planned.Â
The party senior had told him: âNow that you are not in the council and therefore, you are not bound to support the Amendment. Why donât you express your independent opinion?â
The legal expert looked a little bemused but offered no reply. The party senior again pressed his point: âWhy canât you express your independent view? What you say will carry greater weight than what we say!â
When the party senior continued to press the legal expert, he finally opened up. âWhat independent opinionâ¦?â he demanded in a raised tone. âI am for the Amendmentâ¦!â
