Former External Affairs Minister G.L. Peiris said today the Government should counter the remarks allegedly made by former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga that Sri Lanka’s armed forces personnel continued to sexually abuse war victims.

He said the remarks made by the ex-President, who heads the Office for National Unity & Reconciliation (ONUR), were of serious nature and could be used against Sri Lankan forces at the upcoming UNHRC session in Geneva. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

    This 'has-been' law professor appears to be chasing moon-beams in his old age.

    How about that ex-Major who was deported from Hawaii for sexual abuse. Imagine what he'd have done during the war when he had a free hand. CBK really has a point and old GL is blind to it!!!

    If not for CBK you would never have been a minister .She made you minister of finance being a misfit for that portfolio . Now you have found a big fault with her on behalf of your former corruptive boss.

    Ganesh Tuesday, 21 February 2017 05:46 PM

    Being a professor who wrote many books in law ,why do you degrade yourself comparing with third class politician who have not even got through their GCE ol standard .

    Never been a lawyer or loyal.

    Please don't talk

    CBK is correct. It is the normal practice here. Many Government workers demand sexual favors from helpless women. Last week we saw a article about an army major trying to sexually abuse a woman abroad. Old habits never die. lets be honest and face the truth.

    Don Tuesday, 21 February 2017 03:11 PM

    The allegation should be investigated and politicians who allowed it should pay the heavier price.

    lonpol Tuesday, 21 February 2017 02:53 PM

    no need to counter CBK remarks, we all know her. Remarks of such person like CBK should not be taken seriously.

    Dee Tuesday, 21 February 2017 02:44 PM

    The truth hurts!

    Gonna Labba Saucer Tuesday, 21 February 2017 02:41 PM

    Mr Obsolete... you have a new problem every day...IF the govt forces killed maimed n raped innocent civilians..they MUST face justice....none is above the law...not U not ur boss MR... via DM Android App

    Is this guy a lawyer at all, when there is an allegation of this sort, from any quarter of the citizenry, the govt should be encouraged to verify the claims, not suppress it. Following the professors suggestion would certainly be counter productive in achieving reconciliation.

    Bala Tuesday, 21 February 2017 02:24 PM

    Usual twisting - I think she did not say : continued to. She referred to past when you were holding forth how good MR was.
