Sept 07, 2016 (LBO) – Sri Lanka’s Muslim Council has vehemently condemned the attack on the country’s High Commissioner to Malaysia, Ibrahim Ansar, and the chief monk of a Sri Lankan Buddhist temple in Sentul, Ven. Sri Saranan. “This dastardly act has no parallel in the diplomatic history of Malaysia and Sri Lanka,” the council said in a statement. Ansar is a veteran career diplomat who has served in various capacities in Sri Lankan foreign missions for over 20 years. “It is regrettable that a friendly country, Malaysia, could not provide diplomatic protection that Malaysia has pledged to undertake.” High Commissioner Ansar came under attack by suspected LTTE sympathizers when he escorted Minister Daya Gamage, Deputy Minister Anoma Gamage and Joint Opposition Parliamentarian Dinesh Gunawardena to the airport to send off the VIPs. The Sri Lankan dignitaries were leaving after attending the international conference of Asian political parties held at the Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. “The Malaysian Government has the responsibility under international law to protect visiting foreign dignitaries and resident foreign diplomats in their country,” the council highlighted. Muslim Council said special units of the country’s police force usually protect traveling foreign dignitaries, and Special Forces may protect former heads of state, defense officials and other VIPs.

Meanwhile, the Secretary of the Foreign Ministry has called in the High Commissioner of Malaysia to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to express the condemnation of the Government of Sri Lanka, on the assault.
