Sri Lankan president, Mahinda Rajapaksa, today rejected the US sponsored draft resolution on Sri Lanka tabled at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), alleging that the resolution was of no significance due to its ‘biased’ nature.
Speaking on national television, Rajapaksa outlined that he was not concerned about the imminent resolution, as it was based on findings of the UN Human Rights Chief, Navi Pillay’s report, who according to Rajapaksa, was always expected to criticise Sri lanka.
The President’s office further quoted him as labelling the criticism of Sri Lanka, as an ‘unprecedented and biased campaign.’
