Sri Lankan Defense Minister Sarath Weerasekara has objected to a statement made by the Pakistani Defense Minister regarding the brutal assassination of Priyantha Kumara Diyawadana in Pakistan.
He said that such incidents were normal and that there was information that the Pakistani Defense Minister had said that Muslim youths were doing such things impulsively and that it should not be taken into account.
He said he would oppose the allegations if they were true and called on the Pakistani defense minister to immediately withdraw the statement and apologize to Sri Lankans.
He said this while he was speaking to the media when he visited the house to pay his last respects to the late Panniyantha Kumara.
