The Northern Provincial Council's Chief Minister CV Wigneswaran boycotted a meeting with Sri Lanka's Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, who is currently visiting Jaffna, Ceylon Today reported.
The chief minister snubbed the meeting due to comments made recently by the prime minister, who had described the NPC resolution on genocide as "racist", defended the military's presence in the North-East and accused Mr Wigneswaran of being uncooperative with Colombo in a recent TV interview in India, the paper reported sources close to the chief minister as saying.
The prime minister, state minister Rosy Senanayake, Vijayakala Maheswaran and V Radhakrishnan are currently on a visit to the North-East.
