Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) Chairman G.L. Peiris on August 6 said the new Constitution was drafted with hatred towards the Rajapaksas and contained provisions that threatened national security and interests, reports Daily Mirror. “This is not the way to draft a new Constitution by targeting a particular group of people. No Constitution drafted in that manner is going to stand the test of time. The draft had a provision for the abolition of the executive presidency and the post replaced by a ceremonial president. It means Mahinda Rajapaksa cannot be even a ceremonial president. Such a constitution is not going to serve national interests,” Peiris said and pointed out that the proposed constitution would pose a serious threat to national security.

At least 17 soldiers were killed and another 25 wounded in clashes between Security Forces and the Taliban militants in Ghormach District in Faryab Province on August 12, Tolo News. According to the sources, the Taliban attacked an Afghan National Army base - commonly known as Chinese camp - and have occupied a few strongholds. Soldiers and officers from inside the camp said they are under siege and if reinforcement troops are not sent to them, they will all be killed. Faryab Members of Parliament (MPs) meanwhile accused government of negligence and said this base had been under siege for a few days. Despite calls for help, security departments failed to take action, the MPs said. “We are worried about the soldiers. There is also a lot of equipment (on the base) and if Taliban seize this, then they will threaten the northern parts, especially Faryab,” Bashir Ahmad Tayyanj, an MP from Faryab said. Afghanistan Army Chief of Staff Mohammad Sharif Yaftali on August 12 held a press conference in Kabul and confirmed the clashes at the camp but gave no information about casualties. “There was a heavy fight and both sides suffered fatalities,” said Yaftali.
