Statement by High Commission of India in Sri Lanka

COLOMBO: The High Commission of India said it would like to categorically deny speculative reports in sections of media and social media about India sending her troops to Sri Lanka. These reports and such views are also not in keeping with the position of the Government of India.

“The Spokesperson of Ministry of External Affairs of India clearly stated yesterday that India stands with the people of Sri Lanka as they seek to realize their aspirations for prosperity and progress through democratic means and values, established institutions and constitutional framework,” said the statement.
