Wimal joins NYC protest [May 20 2011]

Minister Wimal Weerawansa showed his support towards a protest held in New York yesterday against the LTTE-sympathisers who demanded the UN to take action against Sri Lanka for alleged war crimes.

Around 500 supporters joined in the protest which was held close to the UN office in New York City. Minister Weerawansa said Sri Lanka is a sovereign state and that international organisations and other countries should not meddle with internal matters of Sri Lanka.

He added that a section of Tamil Diaspora is attempting to mislead the UN and international community by projecting a gloomy picture on Sri Lanka.
