Sri Lanka will not be shaken by resolutions that are passed in Geneva, and the dramas created by New York and Chennai, Minister of Construction Wimal Weerawansa said.

Speaking at Deyata Kirula exhibition in Ampara on Saturday (23) Mr. Weerawansa said that the Sri Lankan community which was nourished by Buddhism is more powerful than the imperialists. He said the UNHRC had forgotten how the LTTE separatists violated human rights during the war killing scores of people by bombing busses using suicide bombers. “No resolutions were passed when the LTTE was killing pregnant mothers in a brutal manner,” he said adding, these imperialists see the construction of ports, airports, and highways in Sri Lanka as a threat to themselves and cannot understand the development that is taking place in Sri Lanka because they are jealous of us,” the minister said.  

The minister said that Sri Lanka was one of the few countries that the imperialists such as the US could not defeat through conspiracies.
