The leader of the house and cabinet minister Nimal Siripala de Silva told reporters today that the government was against this resolution and that there was a hidden agenda behind it.
“We are totally against this resolution. If there is a human right issue in the country, it should be addressed through a domestic process. This resolution has a hidden agenda. This is totally a political process. It is not an independent panel which is taking decisions at the UNHRC,
"The other member counties have been subjected to influence. We briefed them about the actual state of the issue. We also explained to them that this is not only against Sri Lanka but it will be a precedent to the interference in the internal affairs of other countries as well,” the minister said.
