In Sri Lanka, the Chief prelates of three main Buddhist chapters in Sri Lanka unanimously decided that there is no need for a new Constitution. A move likely to have a significant impact on the government's effort to draft a new charter. <br/><br/>The Chief Prelates of the three Buddhist nikayas — Siyam, Ramngnna and Amarapura — took the decision at a special meeting convened in Kandy yesterday. <br/><br/>The decision puts a major barricade to government's efforts to draft a new Constitution which will include electoral reforms and a political solution to the Tamil issue. <br/><br/>Representatives of the Buddhist monks are expected to meet Siriaena later this week to convey their concerns over the Constitution and other issues.<br/>The Parliament has already commenced the process of drafting a new Constitution or amending the existing one.'<br/>Earlier, former President Mahinda Rajapaksa also called MPs to vote against the draft, saying the proposed law is an attempt to subject soldiers for international prosecution over warcrime charges.
