JHU calls for Asian brotherhood without India

Reacting to India's vote in favour of the resolution that has been adopted at the UNHRC, the JHU (part of the ruling UPFA), called on the government to form an Asian brotherhood of states, without India.

In a statement, the JHU said:

"We urge the government to build a foreign policy for Asian solidarity and brotherhood without India"

Commenting on the statement, JHU leader and Sri Lanka's Minister of Technology Research, Champika Ranawaka said:

"We urge the government not to grant commercial or diplomatic favours because India has disregarded our sovereignty".

"We also wish to stress that Sri Lanka ought not continue trade and tourism ties with Tamil Nadu, which is hostile to us",

Asserting that Sri Lanka must be thankful to Pakistan and Maldives, Ranawaka added,

"India is holding on to Kashmir by force since 1947. There were reports of many mass graves for which India is responsible."

We need your support

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
