Batticaloa district MP Shanakiyan Rasamanickam said that the President should go to Montessori on human rights first before talking about a PhD. Speaking in Parliament today (09), he stressed that the President, as the head of state, should be more responsible when issuing statements. He observed that making such statements will be detrimental to the country's image.
"Now they are saying that there are no missing persons in this country. The families of the missing are meeting the President," he said.
Rasamanickam also said that the Human Rights Council in Geneva has been portrayed as anti-Sri Lankan even though that is not the case.
He further said that it was Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa who set a precedent by going to Geneva to address issues of human rights violations.
