The Deputy Speaker Thilanga Sumathipala, addressing a press conference at the Parliamentary Complex said the human rights sessions of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in Geneva held recently were progressive for the country.
The delegation had explained that investigations and hearing procedures with regard to murders of two MPs, T Maheshwaran and DM Dassanayake were nearing completion.
"We requested them to drop the item from the IPU human rights agenda. But the decision would be taken by the eight-member committee which we don't have access. The IPU accepted our proposal," he said.
