Archbishop of Colombo Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith has called for significant political, economic, and legal reforms to bring real freedom to the people of Sri Lanka.
During a special service to mark the 77th Independence Day, Cardinal Ranjith advocated for the introduction of a new Constitution and the scrapping of the Online Safety Bill.
He emphasized the need for new legislation that ensures the head of state serves the people, rather than enjoying power and privileges.
Cardinal Ranjith urged the immediate scrapping of the current Constitution and the implementation of a law that legally binds the head of state to serve the nation.
His remarks were aimed at fostering a political environment focused on service to the people, not personal gain.
The Cardinal’s statement reflects a call for constitutional changes that prioritize the welfare of the citizens over the power dynamics of leadership.
