The Sri Lankan government vowed to conduct large scale rallies against the "Western forces" that are calling for an independent probe into the allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The government's spokesperson, Susil Premajayantha, told reporters,
"We will organise demonstrations to show that the people of this country are with the government. They are against the Western forces."
"We have lobbied member countries and the feedback that we have is very positive,"
"We will be able to block any resolution against us."
