India has categorically denied allegations of efforts at a political level to influence political leaders in Sri Lanka regarding elections in the Sri Lankan Parliament for the post of the President of Sri Lanka.
The Indian High Commission in Sri Lanka said the allegations were baseless and are purely speculative media reports.
India categorically denies these media reports that are completely false and are clearly a figment of someone’s imagination.
The High Commission further said that it is reiterated that India supports the realization of aspirations of the people of Sri Lanka in accordance with democratic means and values, established institutions as well as constitutional provisions, and doesn’t interfere in the internal affairs and democratic processes of another country.
