Former State Minister Wijewardene noted that the draft 20th Amendment challenges democracy adding that it is the responsibility of all individuals to protect the freedom ensured through the 19th Amendment.
The UNP added the party condemns the draft 20th Amendment and will continue to stand against it as a political party.
