India would definitely extend its support to the United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC) when it would visit Sri Lanka to study the allegations of massive human rights violations during the final phase of the war against the LTTE in 2009, says Union Minister of State for PMO V Narayanasamy.

“Not only in Sri Lanka, if war crimes and human rights violations are reported in any part of the world, India will not remain a mute spectator and will strongly oppose it,” Narayanasamy said.

He said that the Prime Minister will nt allow Human Rights violations to take place in any part of the world.

In march this year, India along with 24 countries voted against Sri Lanka today at a session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva. The US had sponsored resolution for ‘promoting reconciliation and accountability’ in Sri Lanka after the army defeated the Tamil Tigers in a 26-year-long civil war. UNHCR is one of the main providers of humanitarian assistance to IDPs and returnees in Sri Lanka.

India is Sri Lanka’s largest trade partner overall and Sri Lanka is India’s largest trade partner in South Asia. India has emerged as the largest foreign direct investor in Sri Lanka. India also contributes to the largest number of tourists arrivals in Sri Lanka. (Frontier India News Network)

-6+3 # Cleo 2012-09-23 12:54

Why not us Srilankans do a report against our largest trading partner and aid donor?Our fellows are experts in Reports and Commissions.

When hunters are hunting fools start counting, this dude is all talk, did he raise a voice for the neighbors in Afghanistan against the inhuman bombing by USA and allied forces... ?

In so many countries human rights violations are taking place.
What is your Prime Minister doing?

You are talking something to please him.

It is all about money. The power brokers in Colombo (Colombians) need handouts from abroad to maintain their life styles and would do anything their masters ask

-5+9 # Cleo 2012-09-23 12:52

So if war crimes were committed, what was your Prime Minster doing at that time?Why speak only now, is there an election coming?

-14+10 # AMG 2012-09-23 12:56

Who is going to take the responsible for crimes committed by Tamil LTTE?

-8+6 # AMG 2012-09-23 13:01

i think they get paid for this !

-11+26 # AMG 2012-09-23 13:05

what a gift for tamil nadu people for MR visit !

-21+28 # speedTrain 2012-09-23 13:25

thanx verymuch India for urcountless support in the past, we nolonger needed ur support, we can hangon to china now.

-19+28 # Saliya De Silva 2012-09-23 13:56

Surely SL (Rajapaksa's) will never obey to Indian Strategy. So, India is blackmailing with war crimes.

-27+38 # lal 2012-09-23 14:06

Thousands are murdered within India's borders, in Kashmir by Indian troops. Indian troops massacred and robbed Tamils. India won't be a mute spectator? Idiotic minister, a TN product?

-44+43 # Saskia 2012-09-23 15:30

do you then agree that SL forces also murdered and raped tamils in SL?

-43+40 # Lobo 2012-09-23 16:24

Saskiam, talk facts or shut up. Don't base your judgement on rumours, baseless allegations and 3rd party information.

-13+11 # charith 2012-09-23 16:54

Lobo, first prove the allegations as false or shut up..If they are rumors prove it..

-7+9 # Hal 2012-09-23 17:14

The truth hurts!

-12+10 # Latina 2012-09-23 17:24

Obviously you lack knowledge of what your army did and does shows you level of IQ. What did you think they were fighting with sticks and stones. Take trip up to north buddy.

-7+6 # Sue 2012-09-23 20:21

What, if he's talking facts? Should he shut up then?

-10+12 # Saskia 2012-09-23 21:38

Mr Lobo, how do you know that it is rumour and baseless? Were there any investigation done? SL should prove that its forces were not involved in any killings and rapings of tamil civilians. It can only be proved by allowing an international investigation.

-7+12 # KArunaratna 2012-09-23 22:48

What facts you are refering to? The mere fact of refusal to independant investigation itself is sufficient to prove the criminal act. You guys are still dreaming.. More than 100,000 civilians are unaccounted for and you wanted us to elieve that they had gone to Mars.

-8+11 # Sandu 2012-09-23 23:21

why delay in investigation? Some thing fishy

-9+10 # nalaka 2012-09-23 20:33

what about all the innocent sinhela and mustlims who were murdered and raped by the LTTE

-11+7 # clement 2012-09-23 21:40

saskia even humanrights groupes have not accused SL on rape. if these happened i find it amusing that refugees are returning in numbers back to SL from TN after the war. tdy even from aussi despite given the option of remaining. so the fact is they could not stand LTTE terror. you need to be matured b4 posting such comments

-6+10 # david 2012-09-23 23:10

If SL forces not comited war crime why do they fear. US Parliament also going to bring a resolution to investigate HR in Sri Lanka.

-4+5 # Kalu Sudda 2012-09-23 17:07

Perhaps he should lift his vetti and look>Yikes

-5+8 # Hal 2012-09-23 20:27

Time Sri Lanka realized its position is the international community. Sri Lanka is a small developing country saddled with war crimes. Until this issue is sorted out legally this will be the music.

-6+1 # suny 2012-09-23 20:54

Talking to DMK to save the government

-3+6 # Sri 2012-09-23 21:54

Finally an obvious glimmer along the right track which can be expected from all UN member countries.

-7+5 # wasa 2012-09-23 21:59

do not believe india...they always play double game...Our fellows are donkeys to think the truth

-2+3 # ling 2012-09-23 22:39

Saskiam, hey you hv 25 loyal followers. Hv u ever think of going for contest in next GE or PC.:)

-7+5 # Yehiya 2012-09-23 23:35

This is totally Mahinda,s fault. Not India.When war time India with us. After war plan for kingdom, not for needful.
