President Rajapaksa pledged that no one would be allowed to propagate separatism or destabilise the country. He gave this assurance at the launch of his manifesto for the January 8, 2015 presidential election at the BMICH.<\/p>\n

The unitary character of the Constitution had to remain in the national interest, said the President, stressing that he wouldn\u2019t allow the country to be subjected to an international war crimes probe under any circumstances. <\/p>\n

The President repeated his commitment to addressing accountability issues through a domestic investigative mechanism.<\/p>\n

The President also pledged to introduce a brand new Constitution that would reflect people\u2019s aspirations within a year after January 8, 2015 presidential poll. He said that the entire parliament would be transformed into a constituent assembly to write a brand new Constitution.<\/p>\n

The proposed Constitution would be presented to parliament for its approval before being subjected to a referendum, the President said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Executive presidential system, electoral system, judiciary as well as good governance would be dealt by those writing a new Constitution, the President said, adding that amendments to executive presidential system would be the prerogative of political parties represented in parliament.<\/p>\n

The President said that electoral system comprising a mixture of first- past-the-post and proportional representation would be introduced to ensure a stable government, strong opposition and representation for minorities.<\/p>\n

Commenting on post-war foreign policy, President Rajapaksa declared his intention to mend relations with foreign governments that had been pushing for international war crimes probe targ<\/p>\n
