    There is no difference of the speeches of Mervin and Dilan.

    I guess the govt. has sent the wrong team to the UNHRC.They should have sent ' Dutugemunu' and ' Golayas' instead, to teach them a lesson or two.

    cant say any thing more than just stupids !!
    Idiots !

    raigam Monday, 27 February 2012 12:45 PM

    Mervin & Dilan are in the same boat. St---ids.

    Dilshan Silva Monday, 27 February 2012 12:54 PM

    People may say bad things about the Sri Lanka government and its leaders. So far only lunatic Mervyn had the guts to come out from his hideout to back Mahinda Rajapakse. See Sunday Times' journalist Marie Colvin's story on war crimes & white flag issue from the war zone in Sri Lanka. That story carries more weight on human rights abuses in Sri Lanka during the final stages of the war than Mervyn aiya shouting uneducated anti-American slogans to mee-harak hooligans looking for fun.

    This is similar to during 1987 when the UNP regime started Anti Indian Movement, At last those UNP regime had compelled go ahead with INDIA, but they would not be able to de moralized same force what they create.

    How this regime going to demoralize this anti UN mentality when it required to be go ahead with UN?

    Finally same complain go against them as 1987.

    What happened to Merv's Kelaniya case. Swept under the carpet.

    kaputakukula Monday, 27 February 2012 12:32 PM

    The credibility and integrity of these two ministers itself is a proof that the international would just brush off this tamasha.

    loopd Monday, 27 February 2012 12:24 PM

    Please do not consider this as Sri Lankan people .. these are just goons !

    loopd Monday, 27 February 2012 12:24 PM

    oh... we are going to be in big trouble... soon !

    GSK Monday, 27 February 2012 12:07 PM

    Saskia Monday, 27 February 2012 11:35 AM

    Dammika Monday, 27 February 2012 11:44 AM

    MODA KAMATA BEHETH NETHA .... People know this is to draw the people's attention away from current crisis govt facing.
