He added that it showed the geographical dimension of the issue. &#8220;The origin of this resolution was not in the Asian continent. They brought in this resolution against a single country. To bring in such a resolution the proponents should have evidence to prove it,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I met American officials recently, they informed me that the US would bring in a resolution which would be procedural and assured me it would be a balanced one. They promised to include the positive achievements that Sri Lanka made in the aftermath of the conflict and in the handling of resettlement and rehabilitation. Yet the final draft did not highlight the positive elements.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would like to ask the sponsors of this resolution if they are happy now. You do not have to look far to see the consequences of this resolution against Sri Lanka. Look what has happened in India. The country is politically divided in unprecedented proportions. The resolution and India\u2019s decision to vote for it had become a motivation for violence,&#8221; the External Affairs Minister said <em>COURTESY:THE ISLAND<\/em> <\/p>\n<div id=\"tweetbutton18831\" class=\"tw_button\" style=\"float:right;margin-left:10px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdbsjeyaraj.com%2Fdbsj%2F%3Fp%3D18831&amp;text=US%20Sponsored%20Anti-Sri%20Lanka%20Resolution%20has%20Sread%20Hatred%2C%20Mistrust%20and%20Violence%20Among%20South%20Asian%20Nations-GL%20Peiris&amp;related=&amp;lang=en&amp;count=horizontal\" class=\"twitter-share-button\"  style=\"width:55px;height:22px;background:transparent url('https:\/\/dbsjeyaraj.com\/dbsj\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-tweet-button\/tweetn.png') no-repeat  0 0;text-align:left;text-indent:-9999px;display:block;\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Saman Indrajith The US sponsored anti-Sri Lanka resolution, at the UNHRC sessions in Geneva, could not achieve anything positive except for spreading hatred, distrust and violence among South Asian nations, External Affairs Minister Prof. G.
