Anti-SL campaign launched by Permanent People's Tribunal says SL Minister

The Sri Lankan Minister Wimal Weerawansa warned that the Permanent People's Tribunal, which found Sri Lanka guilty of committing a genocide against the Tamil people, had launched an anti-Sri Lanka campaign, reported the Daily Mirror.

Speaking to press from his party office, Minister Weerawansa said that the PPT, along with the TNA, wanted to ensure another resolution was passed against the UN Human Rights Council on Sri Lanka.

Weerawansa said,
“The TNA has reportedly said there will be a struggle against the government if the incumbent governor Major General G.A. Chandrasiri was not replaced with a civilian governor by March. This is a direct challenge to the authority of the President and to the state. Therefore, the NFP urges the government to take steps to introduce amendments to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution through the Parliamentary Select Committee and remove the threat posed by 13A.”
