While commending the British government for the warm reception and facilities provided to President Mahinda Rajapaksa during his stay in London to participate in the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of Queen Elizabeth 11, the government today accused the Scotland Yard of failing to prevent the protest against President Rajapaksa by a section of the Tamil Diaspora.rifai Friday, 15 June 2012 08:53 AM

Should have sent Mervin Silva and his Kelaniya gangsters to protect the President. They do a good job here. Give them diplomatic passports to gain entry to the U.K.
Question Saturday, 16 June 2012 03:49 AM

upul Friday, 15 June 2012 09:56 AM

It is not the first time our president was treated in this manner. Why our president keep going to the same place where he was poorly treated and very near to the danger???

In Sri Lanka the police are the stooges of the government politicians. It is not so with Scotland Yard in UK, where democracy prevails and protests are permitted against any Tom, Dick and Harry. MR may be king here to some, but it is not so in UK Mr Minister.

The balcony fall in Australia has not made him any wiser.
hello Friday, 15 June 2012 06:02 AM
Nothing like that gerry. Britain, unlike SL will not stop peacefull demonstrations. SL should stop trying to portray Tamil protests as something to do with terrorism.Other countries do not think that way. Simple as that!

Other than getting his other leg broken.
Renu Friday, 15 June 2012 05:35 AM
country was disgraced in the UK , Remember Scotland Yard provided two bullet proof vehicles for President to get about, of course without the Sri-Lankan Flag. They did their part, not P Nonis
Richardson Friday, 15 June 2012 05:33 AM
Stupid talk.
aj Friday, 15 June 2012 05:32 AM
The SL govt is being mild here - i wish to ask the British HC in Colombo - he had concerns about bigger military presence in the north but what has has to say now when he saw idiots holding citizenship given by UK holding the LTTE flag in the high streets of central London? how is it possible? Is there no law and order in london? you ban LTTE but the same group re-name as "British Tamil Forum" and hold the same flag without the name and they're aloved to protest?
Minister Friday, 15 June 2012 05:32 AM
Karma always follows you Mr. Minister, and when it does you don't have any options!
Prsa Friday, 15 June 2012 05:26 AM
So what did our intelligent services and deplomats do to force UK police?? Nothing !!
They could have get a restraining order and worrent UK police to enforce LTTE prevention act directions. This is negligence of SL officials. They should be punished first.
Please please be proactive and protect SL pride. Make it a rule you do the legal actions to prevent such action in any country before MR enters. Mr. President - if you see this please order your officers and attorney general to wor on them.

It is reckoned that the jubilee celebration was attended by Parliamentarians and not Heads of State. It would have been better had our Head of State stayed at home and sent one of his Stooges, Then the matter would have not propped up. UK is a free country, where demonstrations are held against their Head of State and even against the Royal Family. The Scotland Yard has no ritht to arrest demonstrating in a peaceful manner, provided no damage are done to State or Private Property.
Ganga .K Friday, 15 June 2012 05:01 AM
Here he goes again.
Leave the Scotland Yard- what was our politically overstaffed Embassy officials doing. Are they deaf and blind not address these things. This is also the second time the President and the Country was put to shame because of inefficient and selfish Embassy staff.They only think of having a nice paid holiday at poor SL tax payers expense. Minister address these issues before starting the blame game again, for which you are very clever.

shame on you Britain for double standards
