Cremation policy attracts U.S. displeasure
Posted in Local News
US Ambassador to Sri Lanka Alaina B. Teplitz on today (18) expressed her disappointment with regard to Sri Lanka’s cremation policy.
Publishing a Twitter message, Ambassador Teplitz said, “Disappointed to see that the Sri Lankan Government and Prime Minister are backing away from ending discriminatory cremation policy.”
“People, including loved ones recently passed, deserve more respect for their rights from a democratic government,” the Ambassador’s tweet further read.
Madam Ambassador you are blatantly interfering in the internal affairs of Sri Lanka – this is not at all surprising because your country interferes throughout the world and sadly thinks it is your duty to interfere in other peoples affairs against their wishes. You are losing your moral authority over the globe !! Please note this is not a religious matter – the Muslim terrorists who were “bomb cremated” apparently have a “quick track to heaven” Besides, Ambassador, cremation is the most scientific and sensible method of disposal of dead bodies, particularly, in a small land mass country like Sri Lanka.
