The incorrect statement is that both Srilanka and Belgium managed the power-sharing similarly. Here is the distinction between the strategies taken on by Belgium and Sri Lanka regarding power-sharing plans:
Despite its complex ethnicity, Belgium amended its constitution four times to grant equal power-sharing. The aim was to create coherence and peace among all communities. The Belgium model was about equal sharing of powers in all ethnic groups. The Belgium model of power-sharing included:
1)      Introduction of the federal government that avoided the possible division of Belgium on a linguistic basis.
2)      The number of French and Dutch ministers was equivalent in the central government.
3)      A separate government existed in Brussels for the equal representation of communities.
4)      The Central Government's powers were vested in the state government in some areas of Belgium.
In Sri Lanka, the government ensured the dominance of the Sinhala community. The government of Sri Lanka presented an act in 1956 declaring Sinhala as the official state language, which tends to disregard Tamil. Then the constitution of Sri Lanka made Buddhism the official state religion. Almost all government jobs and academic positions were preferably going to Sinhalas over Tamils. Such ferocious acts are outbursts of majoritarianism.
Thus, the correct statement is that Belgium and Sri Lanka dealt with the question of power-sharing contrastingly.
