1. The Sinhala text of Article 83(ආ) of the Constitution has not been correctly translated into English.(83.b) 2. That is, its English translation prevents a referendum from being held to reduce the presidential term or the duration of parliament to less than 6 years, but its valid Sinhala text mandates a referendum to be held to reduce or increase the presidential term or the duration of parliament from 6 years. 3. The English translation text has renounced and forfeited the people's sovereignty of franchise exercisable at the referendum in a constitutional amendment that would reduce the presidential term or the duration of parliament from 6 years. 4. About 200 lawyers and about 100 citizens have now signed a request to the Hon. President to correct the incorrect English translation of Article 83(b) of the said Constitution. 5. The incorrectly translated English text of Article 83(b) of the Constitution has been incorrectly  used/misused by several powerful legal personalities to reduce the term of office of the President and the duration of Parliament to less than 6 years. 6. Punishment should be imposed regardless of the status against those who have alienated and deprived the sovereignty of the people by misusing the incorrect English translation of the Constitution which includes the franchise through referendum, which is an element of the sovereignty of the people 7. The people who appreciate justice are paying attention to the actions the president is taking against those who have abandoned and deprived the right to franchise in referendum, which is an element of the sovereignty of the people, by abusing the incorrect English translation, after receiving the request from lawyers and citizens to correct the English translation of Article 83(b) of the Constitution.
