“Human rights violation takes place in every country in the world. We have our share of it and we are making effort to correct them,” Sri Lankan High Commissioner to India Prasad Kariyawasam said in New Delhi said.

He also said, ““All the governments in the Commonwealth had decided unanimously that the Commonwealth Summit will be held in Sri Lanka, so there is no boycott. Isolation will happen to those who do not participate not the other way round,” Kariyawasam said.

He also told Indian news service PTI that the “prime minister of India is not only leader in this region but leader in Asia, leader in Commonwealth and even in fact the world, so bearing that in mind….it is a decision that India will have to take bearing in mind the national responsibilities and their profile.”
Last week, Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh said the prime minister has been invited by the government of Sri Lanka for CHOGM but the government has not taken any decision.

“The decision will be taken closer to the date (of CHOGM) keeping in view the foreign policy, international obligations and national interest,” she told reporters when asked whether the Prime Minister will travel to Colombo to attend the meet.

Parties in Tamil Nadu are strongly opposed to Singh’s participation in the Summit in Colombo, alleging that Sri Lanka has indulged in atrocities against ethnic Tamils.

    Totally agree with his comments. India has some of the worlds worst human rights abuses. Just for the record every 20 minutes a woman is raped in India, caste is another problem.

    So it's alright to allow it to happen in this country too? Just like the present govt. blaming the previous one- 'they did so why can't we'?
