The laws of the country cannot be changed according to the wishes of individuals, Defence Secretary Gen. Kamal Gunaratne (Retd) said today. During an event held at the Mahamegharama Temple at Maharagama, he said if there is any requirement to amend the laws which would make an impact on the national security, such laws should be amended after a careful study made by the field experts. “Irrespective of their position, every citizen of this country should respect and follow the prevailing law of the country. The laws cannot be changed according to an individual wish,” he said. During the occasion at the Mahamegharama temple, cash donations with a pack of dry rations were handed over to a large number of low income families, the Defence Ministry said.
