Opposition lawmaker, Mujibur Rahman said on telephone that “he knows the situation and we think he will take up the issue with the Sri Lanka president and prime minister”.
The government continues to defy our pleas for burials despite a pledge two weeks ago by Mahinda Rajapaksa to permit them, he added.
The government has said that if we will throw the bodies in water or bury, they can contaminate the water and the land.
