By The Indian Express –<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indo-Sri Lanka ties remain good despite India backing a resolution moved by the US at the UNHRC against Colombo, Foreign Minister G L Peiris has said, observing that no bilateral relationship is one dimensional and “we must not be obsessed with what happened and move on”.<\/p>\n

Addressing Parliament last night in response to the opposition’s assertion that Sri Lanka’s ties with India had nose-dived, Peiris said “there is no anger or hostility.”<\/p>\n

“No bilateral relationship is one dimensional. We must not be obsessed with what happened and must move on,” Peiris said.<\/p>\n

Pointing to the proposed visit here this month by an all-party Indian Parliamentary group led by Sushma Swaraj, Peiris said it was an indicator of the level of relationship.<\/p>\n

However, he said the Indian decision to vote in favour of the US had exposed a chink in the Indian policy armour.<\/p>\n

Peiris said the Indian decision had swayed the way the certain countries voted at the resolution against Sri Lanka’s rights record.<\/p>\n

“Some who wanted to abstain voted against while some who wanted to vote for Sri Lanka abstained.”<\/p>\n

The Geneva resolution voted 24-15 against Sri Lanka committed this country to implement the recommendations of the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission in addition to setting up a mechanism for rights accountability.<\/p>\n

“We do not have to implement all its recommendations,” Peiris stressed, adding the way forward on the reconciliation issue was through the proposed Parliamentary Select Committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
