We will vote against Sri Lanka at the UNHRC, India warns Sri Lanka

Indian High Commissioner in Sri Lanka Ashok Kantha has warned Sri Lankan government that it will vote against Sri Lanka at the upcoming session of UN Human Rights Council if Sri Lanka did not release the arrested fishermen.


In a hurriedly arranged meeting on Friday Ashok Kantha has told Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa that India had no other option as Sri Lanka continuous to ignore polite requests not to kill and harm Indian fishermen.


It is also noticeable that the high commissioner sought a meeting with the Defence Secretary bypassing the normal protocol to meet Foreign Minister G.L.Peiris.


India is very well aware that Prof. G.L. Peiris is a mere puppet with no powers to resolve any issue at the ministry let alone issues on international affairs. Prof. Peiris was only recently strongly dressed down by Indian Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna on the same issue when the pair met in Bhutan.


Analysts are of the opinion that Sri Lanka has clearly burnt its fingers as the island continuously disregarded warnings by India not to create a political uncertainty in India at a time it is facing elections in Tamil Nadu.


Mahinda Rajapaksa government that maintains having no proper foreign policy as the foreign policy and undermines the foreign ministry in its bilateral and multilateral dealings has sunk under the pressure by India, a country that strongly supported its war against the LTTE.
