Constitutional Crisis in Sri Lanka | UPSC Current Affairs 2019

Описание: The video talks about the recent crisis in Sri Lanka government and its implications on India.

Transcript:

Day before yesterday, in a very interesting turn of events, the government in Sri Lanka actually went through a very drastic change where the president of Sri Lanka Maithripala Sirisena sacked the prime minister of Sri Lanka Ranil Wickremesinghe. In a very unique development reappointed the former president of Sri Lanka whose name you must have heard as having led the long civil war against the LTTE, Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa.
In Sri Lanka the president is directly elected unlike in India where, as a result, the president is not very powerful. We all know that Ramnath Kovind is nowhere as powerful as Narendra Modi when it comes to the country’s governance. The reason behind that is that the president is just a notional head. He or she isn’t really the actual head of the country. The president is the head of the state yes, but not the head of the government. In India we don’t call it the Ramnath Kovind government but rather the Narendra Modi government. We never called it Pratibha Patil’s government but rather Manmohan Singh government. The president in Sri Lanka on the other hand is the head of the state as well as the head of the government. That is the political structure of Sri Lanka’s government. Then there is the parliamentary and a parliamentary election here members get elected just like in India, and then on the basis of majority in parliament a prime minister is appointed. The prime minister is in every sense a deputy to the president. That is the basic structure of politics or governance in Sri Lanka. There the president is also a very important and powerful figure who has considerable influence and power when it comes to the system of government.
