Opposition should meet people; not reps of IC: Namal

Canadian envoy Tweets: Ask SLPP, who they’re meeting with

Members of the UNP, JVP and the TNA should meet the people of Sri Lanka rather than the representatives of the international community, UPFA MP Namal Rajapaksa said yesterday.

“It is interesting to see the UNP, JVP and TNA MPS meeting with the members of the international community. Perhaps if more effort was given towards meeting with the people of Sri Lanka and paying heed to their hope for elections, Sri Lanka can finally achieve its fullest potential,” the Parliamentarian Tweeted. Meanwhile, Canadian High Commissioner David Mckinnon replying to Rajapaksa said:

“You might ask some of your Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna colleagues, who they’re meeting with,”

Rajapaksa then thanked the High Commissioner for his engagement.“recalling that Sri Lanka remains a Sovereign Nation and home to a brilliant people, the leaders of Sri Lanka, whoever they may be, should focus on engaging with Sri Lankan people and solving their concerns, including their call for elections,” he replied.
