The UNP will oppose the
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh accepting an invitation by Northern Province
Chief Minister C.V. Vigneshwaran to visit Sri Lanka after he rejected the
President’s invitation to take part in the Commonwealth Heads of Government
Meeting, UNP MP John Amaratunga stated.
The UNP MP stated this in
parliament today (December 2) while citing media speculation that the Indian PM
is to visit Sri Lanka on the invitation of the Northern Chief Minister.
He claimed that this was
part of an effort to weaken ties between the two nations.
