4:00AM Friday May 01, 2009Sri Lanka's honorary consul-general in Wellington, Aruna Abeygoonesekera, has congratulated the Maori Party for blocking a parliamentary motion even though the Maori Party leans towards the Tamil Tigers.
A motion moved by Progressives leader Jim Anderton called on both Sri Lankan Government forces and the Tamil Tigers to show restraint in the present conflict so that civilians could escape from danger.
But the motion was blocked by Maori MP Te Ururoa Flavell because his party believes it is the Sri Lankan Government that should show restraint in its long fight against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.
