Lapsing of emergency regulations in Sri Lanka significant: US

Posted: 02 Sep 2011 02:54 AM PDT


WASHINGTON: The expiry of emergency regulations could be a significant step towards "normalising life" for people of Sri Lanka, the US has said. "The United States did welcome President Rajapaksa's proposal last week in Parliament that the emergency regulations will lapse at the end of August," State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters. "We believe this could well be a significant step towards normalising life for the people of Sri Lanka," he said. US also acknowledged the Lankan government for "rehabilitating and releasing more than 11,000 former LTTE combatants" who were taken prisoners at the end of the conflict. "So we would just urge the government of Sri Lanka to charge or release those prisoners who are still held in custody. We have called on the government of Sri Lanka to look into allegations of human rights abuses in the past," Toner added.

Mallika Sherawat has been trying to get her hold in Hollywood for long without much success. Post her heartbreaking flop in 'Hisss', the babe has her eyes set on her upcoming film Politics Of Love, earlier titled Love, Barack. This Hollywood rom-com is set against the backdrop of the 2008 presidential elections that saw Barack Obama being voted into the White House. Mallika has shot a sexy video for the flick which shows her washing a car while seducing her co-actor Brian White. The pics and video clip shows Mallika lying drenched in soap from top to bottom on the bonnet of the car in a two-piece outfit, washing the car using sponge, in a seductive manner. Recalling her experience, Mallika says, "It was a chilly day, the soap and water was dirty and I wasn't looking very glam. In between shots, they'd wrap me up in blankets so my teeth would stop clattering."
