(November 16, 2013, London, Sri Lanka Guardian) An undisclosed memo to Commonwealth Office from its secretary general Kamalesh Sharma, the Indian diplomat in 2010, is not to address human rights in their meetings. Ergo, CHOGM is deemed not to be the platform to dig up unsavoury truths such as war crimes, curtailment of press freedom, erosion of democracy and suppression of the independence of the Judiciary.
