Sri Lanka’s foreign secretary has dismissed a warning by a Canadian minister that there might be a revival of “radicalisation by the diaspora”.
The Canadian Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Jason Kenney made the comments in Ontario last week, adding that he found the political situation was deteriorating and he had shared his views with Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Foreign Secretary Karunathilaka Amunugama, dismissed the warning, telling Xinhua that the government knows what it was doing.
"Sri Lanka's human rights record is much better than other countries. The government knows its responsibility towards its own people and has been working on maintaining a good human rights record," he said.
