This is despicable at best and downright\nbarbaric at worst. It is total disregard for the victims of the heinous acts of\nMuslim terrorists and other war criminals. PSC whitewashes them which should\nmake them offenders too, if the nation has a law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is done in view of the upcoming\npresidential election. UNP stands absolutely no chance of winning even 40%\nwithout substantial Muslim votes. Executive presidency has made them\nkingmakers. Premadasa, Chandrika, Mahinda and Sirisena dance to their tune in\ndesperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Far too many Muslim MPs are in\nparliament and they use this disproportionate number of MPs to hold the nation\nto ransom. Although they resigned from ministries (while parasiting on perks)\nstrangely one of them is still in the PSC whitewashing terrorists!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this circus is going on, the\narmy and the police have stopped searching for weapons in mosques, etc.\nallowing terrorists to regroup and launch another attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government and the Ministry of\nHealth is trying to push under the carpet war crimes and genocide allegedly\ncommitted by a Muslim doctor in Kurunegala. Forced sterilization is an act of\ngenocide if it targeted specific ethnic groups. He must be investigated for the\ncrime of genocide. Public interest groups must file genocide charges against\nthe Ministry of Health unless they co-operate with the authorities to frame\nthese war criminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If\nthe government pushes the matter under the carpet the international community\nand the nation will rise up against terrorists in commensurate brutality. PSC\nmust be dismantled before they add more insult to the injury. All PSC members\nmust be punished under a people\u2019s government for the heinous acts they engage\nin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dilrook Kannangara The parliamentary select committee (PSC) is an evil election gimmick by UNP and its partners to turn victims of the 21\/4 terrorist attack into terrorists and turn Muslim terrorists who carried out the attack into victims.
