BAM-BCP discuss draft manifesto

Parliamentary and council candidates from across the country filled the Pandagala Junior Secondary School Hall in Tutume to discuss the manifesto titled: 'A Nation At Crossroads: Which Way Now? Democracy Or Military Dictatorship'. During the presentation of group discussions there was a strong push to exclude the word military from the title.

The draft manifesto has chapters on reclaiming democracy, economy, social programme, national security and international relations. The two parties claim that if they get power, they will repeal the Media Practitioners Act and abolish the alcohol levy.
