UNP warns Govt.

3 April 2012 11:32 am

The main opposition UNP warned in Parliament today that the strategy adopted by the international community against Sri Lanka at the UN Human Rights Council was identical to the one they did for the creation of the world’s newest nation South Sudan last year.

Making his remarks during the debate on the UNHRC resolution, UNP Vice President Lakshman Kiriella said that if the government did not ensure the rights of the minorities, it could lead to the partition of the country.

Mr. Kiriella said the resolution had particularly highlighted the need to investigate into the cases of forced disappearances and to strengthen the democratic institutions. (KB & YP)
