Channel 4 theatrics bares magnitude of conspiracy

by Uditha Kumarasinghe

Leader of the House and Irrigation and Water Management Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva said the latest British Channel 4 theatrics which coincides with the ongoing UNHRC sessions in Geneva bares the magnitude of the international conspiracy hatched against Sri Lanka and the UPFA Government.

Channel 4 has churned out another video footage to coincide with the ongoing UNHRC sessions.

The Government firmly believes that this is yet another ploy by Channel 4 to mislead the international community. Today anybody can do wonders with modern technology. At times when people see them, they tend to believe it. But all these are mere creations, the Minister told the Sunday Observer.

Some of the emotional visuals in the latest Channel 4 video do not give the exact picture as they are mere creations.

The Security Forces have taken objection to those visuals. They have categorically said that no such incidents occurred during the last few days of the war against terrorists, the Minister said.

The Government has consistently said that there is a conspiracy hatched against Sri Lanka in the international arena.

Channel 4 also came up with this kind of concocted video footage to coincide with earlier UNHRC sessions too. But we had sent some experts to Geneva and explained that these are mere creations by LTTE front organisations.

The issue then ended and nobody spoke about Channel 4 for the past one year. But they have again created another video footage to coincide with the ongoing UNHRC sessions in Geneva.
