Ruling party MP Sarath Weerasekara who was denied a visa to travel to the United States, showered praise on China citing it as an indispensable and dependable friend of Asia.
Addressing the BOAO summit in China recently, he said the western world will never comprehend the bond among the Asian countries.
“It is evolved and nurtured through trade and mainly Buddhism. China has been an indispensable and dependable friend of Asia.
We are grateful to China, a permanent member in the Security Council, for the consistent support it has given to Sri Lanka at the Human Rights Council. When we defeated the most ruthless terrorist organization in the world we were vilified by the western countries, but China always stood by us,” he said.
Recently, Weerasekara was denied travel to the US for a programme meant for the Sri Lankan MPs heading parliamentary sectoral oversight committees. Weerasekara chairs the Committee on National Security.

Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Yet, unbelievably President Biden has just asked the American congress to vote for billions of dollars worth of weapons to be sent to Israel. Now, ask yourself a question , under these circumstances, if there is a much more powerful country than America on this planet, what would have happened to Israel and to America ? Both would have been sanctioned and key officials from these two countries unable to visit any other major country.

This rabid racist dog and the the ilk's deserves to go licking the boots of China and should be bared from all developed Westminster Style Parliamentary countries.

"When we defeated the most ruthless terrorist organization in the world" What a stupid statement, when Son took revenge for his Father, killied by LTTE, local politicos fell into the trap of UN by claiming to be the war winners; for human rights abuses.

You fool, don't criticize the western world for being straightforward. You were denied a visa for murder and mass crimes. How dare you sweep that under the carpet and condemn them while you have your family and friends living over there. This is why your damn country is in such a pathetic state today you fool.

He should never ever be allowed to enter US or any other western country. He can ask for refugee status in China.
Spartacus Wednesday, 01 November 2023 12:23 PM
This fellow is ignorant. His principles and ethics are like the Rajapakse's. If these fellows call themselves Buddhists, that is the greatest insult to the principles and teachings of Lord Buddha. That is also reason for him to consider China is Buddhist when it does not allow Dalai Lama inside Tibet or even into Sri Lanka. Rascals like this should not be allowed into any country to make the world a better place.

Your bond with Asian Countries is two timing. You like China because they do not involve in criminality and corruption inside the country. In fact China loves country with corruption, only then can they get their overpriced projects passed. In any country, if their is an Armed Force which has been used historically and repeatedly only to kill its own citizens, I think their is nothing proud about that nation. It just shows the poor level of governance, empathy towards humanity and quality of citizens who elect such leaders and allow such State Criminality inside the nation.

In the alternative, he would have visited his relatives and praised the U.S.government if he had been granted visa to U.S.A.

Ambassador Julia is also chineese, so he is praising her too. While the big Sam is distributing weapons throughout the world, China is building roads, train lines, harbours, and other infrastructure for the world. Chinese high-speed railways are the best and big Sam is no where near it because their focus is harm. In big Sam's country, the probability of you getting killed in a bullet is very high whereas in China it is zero. So all the bootlickers of big Sam can choose that.

All big powers have their global interests, Chinese hegemony on Thawan is a threat to democracy, the freedom people enjoy in the western countries doesn't exist in China, in London millions of Palestine supporters filled the entire London city, yet they were tolerated by the whites, could similar scenarios be tolerated in any Arab/Muslim country in support of Isreal?

One of those admirals on land with no ships! No intelligence, just a ranker. Did not do much for the war effort either. Came in with an empty bag in to the Parliamant, which is overflowing now I presume. However, many crooks visit US. It may be the LTTE mafia's influence on the US politicians.
Ramesh Wednesday, 01 November 2023 08:13 PM
Local chandia had a bitter medicine from US. If he in public eye, he should learn how to control his mouth. He can howl anything in parliament aling with other donkeys but not outside.

Who want to listen to this Rajapakse lackey and side kick. What he says has no bearing even in Sri Lanka.And what he says on the world stage , nobody will take notice of.
Pantha Kumaran Wednesday, 01 November 2023 11:13 PM
Sarath Weerasekra is a racist. He always critise USA and how dare he applies for a USA visit visa.
GonNaamba Wednesday, 01 November 2023 11:29 PM
Those in the USA lost out seeing the unique “Hansamaili Jungi Sooppuwa” this Halloween by denying this villain’s visa.

You are quite right sir, Sri Lanka right now faces a damnly disastrous after the US Conspiracy to oust Rajapaksas, who was elected with a huge mandate of the people's votes.

It may have been clear to the U.S. that Sarath Weerasekara has some human rights violations issues and such persons are prohibited to enter the U.S and its territories.

These remarks coming from a communal minded idiot are because he was not granted a Visa by the US.
