The Chief Minister of the Northern Provincial Council CV Wigneswaran has rejected an offer from Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa to “accompany” him to the swearing-in ceremony of India’s Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi later this month.
The Twitter account of the Tamil National Alliance tweeted on Friday that Wigneswaran “rejected the President's invitation to 'accompany' him to the swearing in of the PM of India in a strongly worded letter”. (See letter below).
The statement came as Rajapaksa confirmed his attendance at the ceremony due to take place on the 26th of May.
