The government today slammed US Assistant Secretary for South Asia and Central Asian Affairs Robert Blake stating he has no right to dictate to Sri Lanka on how democracy must be protected or make comments on the 17th Amendment as it is entirely a domestic matter of this country.

Cabinet Spokesman Minister Keheliya Rambukwella told journalists this afternoon that Mr. Blake who was also the former US Ambassador to Sri Lanka was purely an outsider who had no right to talk about the internal matters of the country. (SAJ)

-24+49#Rajitha2010-07-22 19:23

now who's gone over the limit? the minister or Mr. Blake?

-40+80#ACA2010-07-22 17:56

NO one can teach us. We know every thing, what is good and bad. No one can comment on us. No one can make observation on us. We are a great nation thanks to our dear politicians.

First wimal then Donald Duck and now you. Other people laughing and lankan people are suffering. Wether these people are educated or not, they should be taught some diplomacy to survive.

Can't stop laughing!

If we do not heed to local call to implement our own constitution, fully, we are leaving room for every Tom, Dick and Harry to dictate. This is the reality.

He is the culprit who behind the UN expert panel not Banki Moon. Unfortunately no one protest against his Sri Lankan visit.

It is no secrete that Blake has been a separatist supporter all along.

-36+71#Anura2010-07-22 18:04

whats wrong with this minister , always slams IC in the name of internal maters

-52+33#Rajitha2010-07-22 19:28

what's wrong with Mr. Blake? he's always interfering with internal matters of unrelated countries.

-50+30#Channa2010-07-22 19:05

Totally agree with the minister... Blake is a bad bloke....He should go and preach to his Troops in Iraq and Afganistan & their proxy governments...

-43+25#Premalal Perera2010-07-22 19:48

Keep it up Sri Lanka.

-41+27#Harendra Bandara2010-07-22 20:14

YES VERY GOOD! KEEP IT UP SRI LANKA.............

-9+82#sltk20042010-07-22 20:18

Why didn't you (Keheliya) or The President tell this to Blake when he met President ?

-12+34#nanda2010-07-22 21:50

This outburst, by Kehelia, is to keep the illiterates happy.

-6+27#Nilanse2010-07-23 01:59

Maybe because they are cowards? I don't know ... They always use the media to say one thing, but at the meeting, in person, they show another face, with a BIG smile!

-4+28#Nilanse2010-07-23 02:11

Diplomacy has never been the strong-point of this government! ... But, it is the people who elect the government, so maybe they have got the government that they deserve.

-6+19#TomSamUSA2010-07-22 22:14

Keep printing more bonds to cover the cost of the junkets and tamashas of sinking Lanka!

-6+29#Ruki2010-07-23 00:03

Why didn't you (and the government you represent) say it to Blake's face, instead of issuing press statements after he has left the country?

-2+11#INDIKA2010-07-23 09:36

Why didn't he tell it to President first ???

-6+26#sambaata2010-07-23 00:32

Good comedian!

-4+12#M.H.Sheriff2010-07-23 10:09

There is nothing wrong in Blakes advice only dishonest could disregard it, 17th amendment is good for general public, bad for rogue politicians.

-1+7#James bond2010-07-23 14:50

-2+0#suren soysa2010-07-25 06:51
