The international community needed to intervene in the incidents taking place in the Northern Province as the government was no longer in control, Northern Province Chief Minister C.V. Wigneswaran said.  

Speaking to the United Kingdom’s Minister of State for the Commonwealth and the UN at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office Baroness Anelay yesterday, the Chief Minister said the citizens in the province could not accept the solutions provided by the government.  

Highlighting the need for an international investigation in to war crimes, Wigneswaran said they could not accept a domestic mechanism. It was essential that an investigation be conducted internationally with the participation of international judges, he said.   

Meanwhile, the Baroness said she would discuss the requests made by the Chief Minister with high ranking government officials.  (Romesh Madushanka)

    He should be sacked immediately. He is trying to create another blood shed in our county.

    Law should be equal to everyone. Racism and interference in judiciary, lawlessness and indiscipline are the main causes for disunity in our country. Who ever is wrong should be punished and cases can't go unsolved.

    When the true democracy prevails in this country today that is how these scoundrels like CV behaves. I suggest these extremists to be stoned by the public for there unscrupulous behavior. CV is a double standard hypocrite. Due to terrorism of this country both sinhalese and tamil innocent people got killed. It was a civil war and international invention not required to resolve our own problems. I request sincerely to true tamil brothers of this country not to allow these tamil extremists to propagate this rubbish statements internationally to bring down Sri lanka to a barbaric state. Let all the sri lankans live in peace and harmony by protecting our own identity internationally.

    kumudu Wednesday, 09 November 2016 09:02 AM

    Yes we need Gotabhaya back to control from North to South , East to West

    Kiris Baba Amaray Wednesday, 09 November 2016 09:49 AM

    Wigneswaran bear it in mind, you are a citizen of SriLanka not UK or USA. What nonsense you are talking. Don't try to be too smart. You cannot be Praba-2 anyway you cheater.

    Manuel Benjamin Wednesday, 09 November 2016 09:51 AM

    Hay CM you are only thinking about Jaffna Tamils how about the Tamils who live in Colombo

    Casanova Wednesday, 09 November 2016 09:55 AM

    I can advise the present Defense secretary on this issue, who can donate used tires for a better and united Sri Lanka?

    Kadupol Jothywansa Wednesday, 09 November 2016 10:00 AM

    MR

    Kiris Baba Amaray Wednesday, 09 November 2016 10:02 AM

    Definitely. Yes, he is a No. 1 racialist. He is backing Mahinda by all means.

    THIS GUY ASPIRING TO BE KING OF THE NORTH

    Desmond Jeromme Wednesday, 09 November 2016 10:06 AM

    His blood is soaked with Racial impacts. He should retire and take rest before he collapse.

    Vijith Pieterz Wednesday, 09 November 2016 10:08 AM

    He is only suitable to wash the back of MR, Vasu and Gotta.

    Kadupol Jothywansa Wednesday, 09 November 2016 10:10 AM

    No need to go to that extend. Hand him over to Gotta with some millions, he knows what to do.

    dhanu Wednesday, 09 November 2016 10:11 AM

    Even gota will have to seek much effort to solve this totally screwed up situation.

    J Palitha Wednesday, 09 November 2016 10:15 AM

    CM is a paid Agent of Mahinda

    Karen Wednesday, 09 November 2016 10:41 AM

    isn't there a law against what he's saying...stop this man before he starts another incident, hasn't this country lost enough already.

    Janaka Wednesday, 09 November 2016 12:09 PM

    This guy is trying to create issues among common people for his own agenda, sad story for those who died fighting to give our country the peace we enjoy today...

    Jayan Thursday, 10 November 2016 06:02 AM

    Judiciary in Sri Lanka is just not capable in doing their job. We need international help in investigating war crimes.

    ranil Wednesday, 09 November 2016 06:18 AM

    Is this guy crazy or am I crazy?

    lonpol Tuesday, 08 November 2016 02:35 PM

    You are absolutely correct.This government cannot control north, but remember, MR can control entire country.

    BuffaloaCitizen Tuesday, 08 November 2016 02:41 PM

    Vasu never elected by the people while Vicky was peoples choice.

    kaboos Tuesday, 08 November 2016 02:43 PM

    CV is a deceptive leader with no concrete policy on ethnic issue. He is a good lawyer over his mistakes and a good judge on others mistakes.

    adamsapple Tuesday, 08 November 2016 03:08 PM

    Outcome of the spineless leaders in Sri Lanka...

    cb Tuesday, 08 November 2016 05:06 PM

    Jude Wednesday, 09 November 2016 07:09 AM

Unless you treat terrorist sympathizes also as terrorist then including wiggie and the other Tamil Diaspora could be charged under war Crimes!!?? Remember, wiggie is a Lawyer and Lawyers have no interest of solving North issues!!??? Most Lawyers are self serving and Hypocrite!!!!??

    Nihal Amarasekera Wednesday, 09 November 2016 07:13 AM

    It's Tamil diaspora speaking; they are working for an agenda.

    SL Wednesday, 09 November 2016 07:56 AM
