March 16, 2014
Leader of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA), R. Sampanthan, in an interview with Ceylon Today, says the US resolution against Sri Lanka is being brought not with the intention of punishing Sri Lanka, but because the island nation has not done what it was supposed to do.
Claiming Sri Lanka had taken up several positions, he adds, "Some of the positions they are taking up may perhaps be to give the people of the country the impression that they are a bold and strong government. But as far as we are concerned, we are very worried about the fact that they are not on the right path. "
