The Lanka Sama Samaja Party (LSSP), a ruling coalition party, has reiterated their rejection of a UN inquiry into allegations of atrocities in Sri Lanka, which is due to begin at the end of this month.
The leader of the LSSP, and former All Party Representatives Committee (APRC) Chairman, Tissa Vitharan, told Daily News that a UN probe was “clear interference in the internal affairs of Sri Lanka by Western forces, that are under the influence of anti-Sri Lankan Tamil Diaspora.”
Further attacking the West and Tamil diaspora, the former Minister added that, “local political parties such as the Tamil National Alliance extends their support and uphold them.”
Labelling the commission of such an inquiry “wrong”, Vitharan said,
“We settled the war. We can settle the rest without externalising our internal issues”.
