NFF leader tells media:
US report biased, malicious

National Freedom Front Leader Wimal Weerawansa yesterday charged that US State Department’s Human Rights report on Sri Lanka has been presented with malicious intent.
Addressing a Media Conference in Colombo yesterday he observed that the wrath of the Western forces are progressively being directed on Sri Lanka with the liquidation of LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran adding that all allegations against Sri Lanka were based on hearsay and were not factual.
He said the report earlier identified Sri Lanka as a state under Sinhala majoritarian rule but its 2009 report describes it as being under the domination of the Rajapaksa family. The NFF leader said it is clearly evident that the human rights violation charges in the Human Rights report had been directed at the Rajapaksa brothers and this showed their true intentions vis-a-vis the Rajapaksas and the present Government.
Weerawansa said the information supplied by the US Embassy in Sri Lanka had been included in the final report by Robert Blake but the report does not include the attempts made by the LTTE to divide the country.
He said the report without mentioning the circumstances under which a war had to be waged in the country had taken the war in isolation to paint a negative picture to the world noting that the direct reference made to the Rajapaksa family in the report was a clear demonstration of the hate towards them.
The NFF leader said this matter should not be taken lightly since it was clear that there are vicious forces both local and foreign arrayed against the Government who resisted the attempts of international forces to realize their agendas.
He said the people of the country without doubt would realise the existing situation and give these sinister forces a fitting reply by returning the Government with a two thirds majority in Parliament.
