Colombo (LNW): Former Navy Commander and current North-Western Province Governor Wasantha Karannagoda said there is “something else” behind the United States’ move of banning him and his family from entering the US soil.
Denouncing the move, the former Navy Commander emphasised that the US’ sudden decision to blacklist him 14 years after the war is ‘surprising’ and that he believes that “a former military official and the US Ambassador are behind the move.”
The North-Western Province Governor also denounced the US State Department for refereeing information documented by non-governmental organisations and other investigations pertaining to the ban, calling it a ‘shame.’
Karannagoda and his family are banned from entering the US over alleged human rights violations committed during the war season.
