By Shamindra Ferdinando Genuine post-war national reconciliation will not be possible unless grievances of those who had suffered during the war and after were addressed, Harsha Kumara Navaratne, a member of the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL) says. Emphasizing the responsibility on the part of the government as regards concerns of all communities, Navaratne asserted that the alleged disappearances of persons who had been handed over to the military by their families soon after the war was brought to a conclusion remained a contentious issue. Prominent civil society activist Navaratne said so during a brief discussion with  The Island on Tuesday (6) at the HRCSL, R.A. de Mel Mawatha, Colombo 4. Except the Chairman of the HRCSL Dr. Jagath Balasuriya, a former lawmaker, other members of the five-member outfit namely Dr. M.H. Nimal Karunasiri, Dr. Vijitha Nanayakkara and Ms. Anusuya Shanmuganathan, joined the discussion.
