Opposition MP Lal Warns Against Constitutional Amendment

Opposition MP Ketan Lal has strongly opposed the proposed constitutional amendments, calling them a direct attack on democracy.

He argues that the changes would strip power from the people and give it solely to politicians.

Lal emphasized that a constitution should not be altered at will by those in power, as it serves as the foundation of democracy and must be protected.

He warned that if the amendment passes, Fijians could lose their voice in shaping the nation’s future.

He urged the government to respect the people's right to decide on constitutional matters, stating that when leaders stop listening, democracy is at risk.
