When asked about a notion among some people that the military would be sacrificed through these measures, the Prime Minister said yesterday said the government would not sacrifice anybody.

When asked whether the then president Mahinda Rajapaksa or the then defence secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa would be sacrificed, the Prime Minister in a lighter vein said Mangala Samaraweera and Wijeyadasa Rajapaksha, both of whom were from the South were involved in the UNHRC process and that people from the South would not sacrifice others from South. “Those from the South will look after the Southerners,” he said with a smile.

The real victim will be the country. War crimes is just a smoke screen to divide the country along a federal structure.

Very True Mr Prime Minister. Now you should try to convince Sambanthan, Sumanthiran and Mavai that they should not sacrifice justice due to the Northerners and Easterners.

This is no joking matter. The questions posed by locals should be dealt with the same gravity the government gave the international community re the resolution recently.
