JVP asks: Who is lying?

11 Aug 2011 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

The JVP today questioned the government on the veracity of the US aircrafts invading into Sri Lanka’s Airspace and the contradicting reports received on the matter.

“Our question is who is the liar and who are we to believe, with regards to this intrusion?” leader of the JVP Somawansa Amerasinghe questioned. He stated that the government should have inquired into the matter instead of bowing to US pressure and claiming there was no intrusion.

“The Airforce spokesperson said that there was an intrusion, he is the one who is managing and monitoring the radars, and therefore how can we dismiss his words and listen to the Minister. What does the minister know of these matters?” Amerasinghe said.

“I would also like to ask the government not to transfer that truthful officer, who admitted the US intrusion into our airspace,” he said. (Dianne Silva)
