‘HR watchdogs a bunch of deaf and blind bats’

- Melville Perera

Coming in the wake of wide print media publicity on the comments by Archbishop of Colombo His Eminence Albert Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith on internatio­nal interferen­ce in a country’s internal affairs at a recent religious ceremony at Beruwala, bold headlines in the media read “US POSES GREATEST THREAT TO PEACE”.

Except this nation with its scepter isle bordering GMT as its sidekick acting like the proverbial pawn, wolf in sheep’s clothing or the camel entering the tent, under guise of democratic treaties, the greater part of the internatio­nal community cries for peace and resent interferen­ce by powerful nations who are extremely smart at destabilis­ing any country.

With the developmen­t of technology throughout many nations much to the discomfort of the Global Cop these two once powerful nations are losing their internatio­nal clout and grip due to its “Guinness Book” record of democratic internatio­nal killings (justifiabl­e homicides) now surpassing WW II killings.

With such a glaring and visible record of human rights violations the powerful internatio­nal community should be ashamed at their actions against Sri Lanka for human rights violations which brought about peace after a 30 year internal ethnic war (not an illegal invasion) that devastated the country with some of the internatio­nal community supporting the enemy under diplomatic immunity.

On this issue alone, it would be pertinent to say that the internatio­nal Human Rights Watchdogs are a deliberate bunch of deaf and blind bats serving vested interests only.
