The Sri Lankan government says it will not submit to international pressure especially coming from countries “disappointed” over the end of the war in Sri Lanka.
Prime Minister D.M Jayaratna, speaking at an army passing out ceremony in Diyatalawa today, noted that while Sri Lanka managed to end the war with the LTTE several other countries are still struggling to eradicate terrorism.
He claimed that the countries which are still struggling with war in their hands are ashamed at what Sri Lanka was able to achieve and are now attempting to find fault with the government.
The Premier also noted that although the war in Sri Lanka was dragging for several years attempts by the international community to form commissions against the country is being brought up only now. (Daily Mirror online)
