WAITING IN A QUAGMIRE

Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa is now caught up in a situation where he has to have the cake and eat the cake.

He was scheduled to express his views in Parliament, representing the UPFA, when the UNHRC resolution on Sri Lanka was taken up for debate in the country’s legislature. Many were expecting the “war winning President” to share his views on the pros and cons of the resolution of which Sri Lanka too was a co-sponsor.
