India disappointed us – Gotabaya
Posted by Editor on March 22, 2013 - 10:17 am
Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa said yesterday that the strong statement issued by India at the UN Council session raising accountability issues at war came both as a surprise and a big disappointment.
He said Sri Lanka had made available all the documents prepared in conjunction with international humanitarian agencies on accountability on various subjects pertaining to the war and that these agencies had cleared Sri Lanka.
“While Sri Lanka understands the domestic compulsions of New Delhi, we were expecting the Indian government to be fair by Sri Lanka as we had substantiated our claims with facts and figures,” he said

Brilliant my dear Mr Dias, it is China who the other day, turned down a request for a loan to buy essential commodities.
The Chinese Premier’s Dept very politely said Chinese assistance will only for development projects at an interest rate higher than the market.
We should tackle the same in proper manner, without letting them know that we do make them away from us. So it required high level planning to draw a line between the two parties. If we start doing what Mr.Nicolas said it will become another issue for the world to talk.
Let’s no go for those, we should target it in different manner and in slow and but steady phase.
