“Panel report falls short of justice”

October 29, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:43 am IST - NAGERCOIL:

The Maxwell Paranagama Commission Report on the Sri Lankan conflict had fallen short of truthfulness and justice, said S.P. Udayakumar, Convenor of the People’s Movement Against Nuclear Energy (PMANE) and member of the Steering Committee of Pachai Thamizhagam here.

In a letter addressed to the General Secretary of the United Nations, Mr. Udayakumar said that the report appears to be a ploy to circumvent the charges of genocide of the Tamil minority in that country and to avert a possible international inquiry into the “war crimes” by the Sri Lankan government and its armed forces.
