Anglican Bishop says moral standards have deteriorated in Sri Lanka

From Sri Lanka-

The Anglican Bishop in Colombo Rt. Revd. Dhiloraj R. Canagasabey says moral and ethical standards have deteriorated in Sri Lanka.

In a statement, the Bishop said that the Diocese of Colombo of the Church of Ceylon notes with shock and great dismay the dissolution of Parliament by the President.

“This arbitrary act appears to us to be a direct and blatant violation of the clear and express provisions of the Constitution, following the passage of the 19th Amendment,” he said.

The Bishop said the actions of the dismissal of a sitting Prime Minister, the appointment of a new Prime Minister, the prorogation of Parliament by the President followed by credible accounts of inducements to MPs to crossover and the shifting stories about the premiership being offered to other members of Parliament are further compounded by this latest action of the President underscoring the fact that the newly appointed Prime Minister did not command the confidence of Parliament.
