Splendid article: of course, it is obvious that the Government has created this artificial Bogeyman or Billa to scare the people and to get their minds off the ever increasing hardships due to skyrocketing cost of living. The government and its cohorts know exactly the nature of the Resolution coming up at the UNHRC which is to propose a mechanism to ensure the recommendations of the LLRC appointed by the President himself. But, the government is now trying to cleverly manipulate this as hostile action by the US and EU against Sri Lanka in order to bring people to the streets to hoodwink them and draw a red herring. Patriotism is their trump card and one wonders for how long people will sing the patriotic songs when their stomach worms stop dancing. As they say, "Patriotism is the last resort of the Scoundrel" and there are plenty of such scoundrels in this government.

The US resolution is to compel the Sri Lankan government to implement the LLRC recommendations. Why is the government getting jittery, when they have after all said that it would be done. This is a sure sign that there is no willingness to implement.
Bad tidings for the country.
