The Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) yesterday appointed a 10-member committee to study the proposed 20th Amendment to the Constitution.

According to a statement issued by the party, the committee members include Labour Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva, Environment Minister Mahinda Amaraweera, Batik, Handloom and Local Apparel Products State Minister Dayasiri Jayasekara; Solar Power, Wind and Hydro Power Generation Projects Development State Minister Duminda Dissanayake and Members of Parliament Shan Vijayalal De Silva and Sarathi Dushmantha.
