He argued that the 1963 republican constitution will also address the concerns on the agitations for restructuring.

“My own personal preference is that we should scrap this constitution (referring to the 1999 constitution) and adopt the 1963 constitution that can contain everything that is being agitated for now,” he said.

“I think all these agitations will die down and everybody will be happy.”

“We adopt it, with amendments here and there, to make it accomodate states rather than regions, which we used to have.
