The Professional’s National Front (PNF) headed by Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) President Dr. Anuruddha Padeniya has sent a letter to British High Commissioner James Dauris requesting him not to interfere with the internal matters of Sri Lanka. In a letter the PNF said citing the Vienna Convention that the professionals of Sri Lanka had observed the High Commissioner had mobilized his good offices beyond the accepted norms and limits as per Vienna Convention.

The PNF had quoted Article 41of the Convention in their letter which says: “Without prejudice to their privileges and immunities, it is the duty of all persons enjoying such privileges and immunities to respect the laws and regulations of the receiving State and they also have a duty not to interfere in the internal affairs of that State and all official business with the receiving state entrusted to the mission by the sending State shall be conducted with or through the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of the receiving state or such other ministry as may be agreed.” The professional’s organization requested the High Commissioner to abide by the said international convention and to refrain from interfering into internal affairs of Sri Lanka.
