Who Gave Authority To BBS ?
By Tamara Wickremabahu - November 17, 2013 |
None of the Heads of the Countries of the Commonwealth I believe would endorse the forced entry of the “Bodu Bala Sena” (BBS) into the Human Rights Festival yesterday. Also, the delegates would see this incident as a scandal. This unruly act has to be condemned by all who respect the values of the commonwealth.

Australia will give Sri Lanka two patrol boats to intercept asylum seekers in Sri Lankan waters under a deal to be signed on Sunday and New Zealand getting elephant from Sri Lanka.
The Sri Lankan government has praised New Zealand for its stance at this weekend’s controversial Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Colombo and says its sending an elephant to New Zealand as a symbol of the two countries’ friendship, New Zealand media repots.
The gift of two patrol boats is understood to be part of a memorandum of understanding to be signed between the countries, designed to curb the already diminished flow of asylum seeker boats from Sri Lanka, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.
