(June 22, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) A very loyal Member of Parliament of the President A H M Asfar has claimed in the parliament (21/7) that LTTE leader’s family members are safe and are well looked after by the President Dr Mahinda Percy Rajapakse.
He used the parliamentary privileges and gone on to compare the killing of the Al Qaeda leader Bin Laden and his family members by the US intelligence service and the humane President sparing the family members of LTTE leader Pirabkaran and looking after them well in a safe place.
The parliamentarian had claimed: ‘This is what the humane character of the President’.
The ranting parliamentarian went on to accuse the Channel 4 revelation, is the work of the Diaspora and accused the opposition party members of shedding crocodile tears.
Editor’s comment: The comments of A H M Asfra MP confirm the pathetic state of the composition of parliamentarians in Sri Lanka. How can Sri Lanka progress to address the accountability and political accommodative issues when the President is surrounded by a bunch of goons who cannot think beyond hero worshiping the leader for achieve benefits in kind for their loyal support.
