Sri Lankan government Minister Wimal Weerawansa has warned that newly elected Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi poses a threat to Sri Lanka’s stability, according to the Colombo Gazette.
The leader of the National Freedom Front said, “it is only the Sri Lankan people who can decide on the 13th Amendment and what’s best for Sri Lanka”, with reference to the Indian Prime Minister.
His comments come after Prime Minister Modi told the Sri Lankan President that he must go “beyond” the 13th amendment, when they met in Delhi.
Weerawansa, who has threatened to pull his party out of the ruling alliance if Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa did so, went on to add that India and other countries were trying to force a regime change in Sri Lanka.
