Pillay will compile a false report - NFF

National Freedom Front spokesperson Mohammed Muzammil warned that UN Human Rights Commissioner Navi Pillay would “compile a false report” that would be “detrimental” to Sri Lanka, reports the Daily Mirror.

Complaining about Pillay’s refusal to accept an army investigation as independent, Muzammil said:


“Even though we carried out an independent investigation into the alleged war crimes, she will anyhow carry out an international investigation. She said the investigation carried out by the Army was not impartial. We need to question her impartiality. Ms. Pillay is someone who draws a salary from US. So how can she be considered impartial? Someone who draws a salary from those who bring out the proposals cannot be impartial,”

On Pillay’s visit to the North-East he said:


“Ms. Pillay did not even visit the war memorial at the Parliament but she wanted to go to the place where Prabhakaran was killed. This gives a message to the separatists that she was ready to support and commemorate separatists and to carry out war crimes and human right violation investigations against them. It is since then Suresh Premachandran and Wigneswaram have begun to inculcate racism and Eelam again in the North. What Pillay was symbolically conveying was that “you get political power in the North we will give the international support.”
