SL government condemns NPC resolution

Terming the resolution passed by the Northern Provincial Council yesterday as an “extremist position,” Health Minister and Cabinet spokesman Rajitha Senaratne said President Maithripala Sirisena had promised to initiate an internationally approved, domestic inquiry process.

“This is a period of reconciliation, and both sides should engage constructively, rejecting extremism,” he told BBC. We all know during the final perhaps of war military personals rescued large amount of Tamil people. At this time some would have act on violent manner and we cannot consider it as genocide attack. Northern Provincial Council Chief Minister and the former High Court judge C.V.Wigneswaran was well aware on the meaning of genocide attack. While the NPC may be justified in raising concern over alleged war crimes, “they cannot call it genocide,” Senaratne said. “Choosing confrontational ways will hamper forward movement on the issue.” LTTE and Prabahakaran used general public to protect themselves from war and this activity killed many civilians. Since end of war in this country non of the Tamil political party leader hold discussions with us regarding the genocide attack.
