Canada has no right to discuss genocide here: NPF

• The party also criticized the Canadian High Commissioner’s recent interventions in the internal affairs of Sri Lanka

Canada which was declared guilty of genocide four years ago in the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, has no right to call Sri Lanka’s war incidents as genocide, the New People’s Front (NPF) has said in a letter handed over to Canadian High Commission on Wednesday.

“Even the UN has ruled out the war here as being one aimed at genocide” the NPF has said in the letter addressed to Canadian High Commissioner in Colombo, Eric Walsh.

Reminding the Indian accusation that Canada is hosting Khalistan rebels, the NPF alleged that Canada of promoting separatism in both India and Sri Lanka. The party also criticized the Canadian High Commissioner’s recent interventions in the internal affairs of Sri Lanka and stated in the letter that it wondered whether High Commissioner Walsh intended to contest Sri Lanka’s presidential election due next year.
