Writing this week to UK parliamentarians John Ryan and Siobhain McDonagh, who had written to UK foreign secretary Boris Johnson requesting him to expel the Sri Lankan defence attache to the Sri Lankan High Commission of the country Minister of Plantation Industries, Navin Dissanayake reminded the duo that the LTTE is a banned terrorist organization the world over including the United Kingdom.
The Minister in his letter went on to say that it was disturbing and offensive to see LTTE flag-bearing supporters hurling abusive comments. Dissanayake also pointed out to the duo that Brigadier Fernando’s actions cannot be questioned by the UK MP’s as he was at the time within the boundaries of the Sri Lankan High Commission.
He also slammed the duo for their support to the LTTE claiming it is self-serving and pathetic at a time where Sri Lanka is now building bridges between the communities and is living peacefully. The Minister also backed Brigadier Fernando saying that he will continue as the Sri Lankan Defence Attache in the UK.
