Sri Lanka not ready to implement all the recommendations of LLRC as suggested by UNHRC, says Minister

Sri Lanka Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva who was a member of the state delegation to UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) says that the government was not ready to implement all the recommendations as suggested by US led anti Sri Lankan lobby at the UNHRC sessions in Geneva recently.

 "We would implement only what we accept and consider feasible," Minister Silva said adding that the government was not bound to reply to India or any other nation in this regard.

The Minister also ruled out a referendum in this regard attacking Minister Wimal Weerawansa without naming. The Minister stated,"There are some others who talk of holding a referendum on it. There is no necessity for that as we have already commenced their implementation."

The Minister arrogantly said that the participation of Opposition was also unnecessary in this regard.

Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission was appointed by the government although it appears as not ready to accept all the recommendations of the commission.
