Lord Naseby calls for vigilance over diaspora in UK |

‘In my judgment the UK must be vigilant in helping Sri Lanka return to being a proper, normal, democratic country, which it basically is and wishes to continue to be’, stated Lord Naseby, Conservative Peer and Chair of the Sri Lanka All Party Group.
That means some vigilance over the diaspora here in the United Kingdom, particularly the new Global Tamil Forum and underneath that, the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam, he stressed.
Lord Naseby made these comments at the House of Lords debate on the Queen's Speech on Foreign and European affairs, international development and defence.
None of us can want a Northern Ireland or Cyprus in that part of the world. India does not want that and nor do any of the other South Asia countries. It cannot be in our interests, so we have to be very vigilant, he said and added, ‘Sri Lanka has a new foreign Minister, Professor Peiris, who many of us know. We should welcome him when he comes to London and look for a means of going forward to rebuild our relationships.’
