Minister says UN action against Sri Lanka on alleged war crimes support terrorist agenda

A Sri Lankan government minister has accused the United Nations of trying to support the agendas of terrorist organizations by trying to probe war crimes in the country that have allegedly taken place during the final phase of the war against the LTTE.

JHU front liner and Power and Energy Minister Champika Ranawaka has told the local media that Sri Lanka is the only country that has succeeded in defeating an armed terrorist group on its own.

He has said Sri Lanka's actions had shown to the world that terrorism could be defeated.

He has explained that the LTTE could not be matched with most other terrorist groups as it had its own air and sea wing.

According to Ranawaka, the defeat of the LTTE was a blow to global terrorism.

Therefore, the Minister has said that any action by the UN against Sri Lanka would prevent other nations from taking action to defeat of other terrorist organizations.
