Rajitha Senaratne, Cabinet spokesperson, told that the international community was aware that “the country is moving towards the correct direction, giving rights to minorities.” The attitude of the international community had changed over the years for better.
“Govt. settling their problems” Claiming that the minorities had placed faith in the present government, which was “working towards reconciliation and settling their problems,” Dr. Senaratne wondered “why the international community should be bothered about Sri Lanka when there are no problems?”.
Giving an account of his recent meeting with a member of the Central government’s task force, Northern Province Chief Minister C.V. Wigneswaran, earlier in the day in Jaffna, said what he understood was that once the government informed the UNHRC in Geneva in March next year that political settlement of the Tamil question was in the offing, the international community would not bother itself about Sri Lanka.
