VIDEO: Lanka will ‘absolutely not’ allow an international inquiry - Rajiva

Sri Lanka today categorically rejected an international inquiry into alleged war crimes allegations, footage of which was aired in a Channel 4 documentary broadcast Tuesday night.

Asked by Al-Jazeera (English) if Sri Lanka would accept an international inquiry, government Member of Parliament Prof. Rajiva Wijesingha replied “Absolutely not!” and added such calls were part of a “separatist, terrorist agenda” which, he said, “was extremely sad to find others falling in [with].” He went on to say: “I don’t think we’re going to play to the agendas of other countries.”
