We will resist any international inquiry: Govt.

Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva said today that Sri Lanka would resist any international inquiry as a policy of the government because it believed that there was no need for an international inquiry within a short span of time now that the government had done its best in the reconciliation process.“There is no agreement in all issues and they will continue to pressurize us. We are used to this pressure so the Sri Lankan government will do the right thing but we will not do the wrong thing due to pressure,” he said.
Minister de Silva said most of the allegations were unfounded and the government had already conducted internal inquires.
“There has always been pressure. We are used to this kind of pressure. Britain can't do this alone. We are confident to go before the UNHRC and face any challenge. So there is no justification for a predestined international inquiry”, he said.
"Sri Lanka is not a barbaric country. We have pride and national obligations. Commonwealth cannot be another international policeman. No country should be allowed to impose their agendas on another country," he said.

Guys get the facts right. SL against an international inquiry not just because SL has full confident it doesn't need one as SL perfectly can handle its internal matters, no other country has right to dictate to SL what to do. SL is an independent country and pride. SL respect world worst human rights violators US and UK, they can not and should not dictate Sri Lanka what to do. via DM Android App

The reason why they are resisting an international inquiry is because it will directly implicate war crimes charges against them.

It is funny how a British cricketer comes here, does not play cricket but builds up bonds between people and a non- cricketer plays cricket but destroys the very same bonds that were built.

DC is worried about the rights violations of Tamils, because they are an important part of his vote bank. Does anyone really think that he cares about others such as Sinhalese and Muslims? Their drones are killing even innocent Muslim women and children to make the future world safe for them and their business conglomerates. And he has the cheek to come here and talk about HR.

If you really have nothing to hide, Then why resist an international inquiry so frantically.

Sripla says no need to inquire just forget it ! pathetic

Why don't we welcome an international inquiry, and use the opportunity to prove our 'cleanliness'?
Human Sunday, 17 November 2013 04:21 AM
Some extend I agree with this minister. As he said SL is not a barbaric country, but politicians are.

We have tactics, nothing to worry. And we have very good excellent opposition leader. Now you all can go. Bye
