Lankan high commissioner criticizes Canada over inquiry calls
Sri Lanka’s high commissioner Chitranganee Wagiswara says the Canadian government is falling for terrorist “propaganda” with its newfound criticism of the island’s human-rights record and its demands for an international inquiry.
“We are not happy about the statements being made. We want Canada to see the correct situation,” she has told The Canadian Press in an interview.
Her remarks are the first public rebuttal of the hard line the Conservatives have recently adopted against the Sri Lankan government.
