SC rules a referendum is needed for 20th amendment

SC rules a referendum is needed for 20th amendment
Since certain clauses of the amendment are inconsistent with the constitution, a two-third majority passage by parliament only is inadequate, the SC noted.
 
The government has proposed the amendment to allow holding elections for all provincial councils on a single day. The western, north central, Sabaragamuwa, eastern and central provincial councils have passed the amendment.
