By Supun Dias
External Affairs Minister Professor G. L. Peiris appealed to the International community to do justice to Sri Lanka and to listen to its voice.
“We do not want anyone to pressurise us, corner or polarise. Nobody needs to threaten us with economic sanctions. We are a proud nation with a rich history. Therefore we will do anything that we think which is right for our people and to our country. We want the International community to help us in developing this nation to move the country forward,” he said.
“Recent allegations show that they recorded testimony from people of their own choice. We question them whether it is a struggle for human rights or a naked political agenda,” Minister Peiris said.
“In the article published in the Johannesburg Times by Louis Arbour, she calls for a regime change in Sri Lanka. Would you believe what someone who has not been to this country, and who has been looking at Sri Lanka from the Atlantic would say?” he said.
Minister Peiris said that the government is committed to ensure the well-being of the people. “Therefore we do not want anybody to pressurise us because we have already undertaken a number of steps and programmes to ensure the well being of our people,” he said.
“There was a vicious propaganda during the recently concluded Local Government Elections in the North. It was said that in no way was a free and a fair election held. Parties which are not with the government claimed most of the victories,” Minister Peiris said.
“The results speak for themselves. Every election the Government under the leadership of the President and has won all the elections with the number of votes rising continuously,” he added.
He made these comments while delivering the key note address at the official launch of the ‘Humanitarian Operation Factual Analysis’ report.
