NZ became the first country where Sri Lanka government's documentary film "Lies - Agreed Upon", countering the many allegations of war crimes orchestrated in the UK Channel 4 Documentary, was screened in a National Parliament.
This happened at the Beehive (NZ Parliament) theater at 1pm on Tuesday the 28th September. It was the successful culmination of a concerted campaign carried out by the United Sri Lanka Association spearheaded by it's spokesperson Dr. Chula Rajapakse & Sri Lanka's Hon Consul in NZ, Mr. Aruna Abeygoonesekera, in response to campaigns being carried out by Tiger Diaspora.
Present at the screening were Chairman of the NZ Sri Lanka parliamentary group, national party (government) MP Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi & Labour Opposition front bench MP's Maryan Street Foreign affairs spokesperson & Rajan Prasad.
Securing their attendance was all the more of an achievement as the Parliament is in the last 10 days of sitting before dissolution for the November general election.
Several MP's sent in their apologies on account of work associated with this. Many MP's have also been supplied with personal copies of the film.
