Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe would have a discussion with the Indian authorities on the alleged plot to assassinate President Maithripala Sirisena, a Spokesman from the Prime Minister’s office said yesterday.

He said the Prime Minister had decided to discuss the issue with Indian Defence Authorities after an Indian newspaper carried a news item quoting President Sirisena that Indian intelligence service RAW was plotting to assassinate him.

“The Prime Minister has sought an appointment with the Indian defence authorities despite a schedule for his Indian Visit has already been fixed.

“He has sought the appointment in line with his thinking that he should discuss this serious matter with them,” the official said.

    What if the president were to say then that he did not say that? Ranil should be careful.

    Oh man!! Seriously, What's the point!??? If there's any kind of plot, now who's going to spill the beans!?? Huh!!!

    Who is going to fall for this, as if the Indians are prepared to tell the Prime Minister that they hatched a plan to kill the President, of course the Indians would deny it strenuously. On top of it when the direct beneficiary of any such assassination is non other than the Prime Minister himself, his meeting with the Indians would be construed as a gimmick.

    This is a very serious matter but I see no urgency about it even from the President himself. Because India is such powerful country, Sri Lanka should ask for help from the FBI .

    Kalu Sudda Thursday, 18 October 2018 08:25 AM

    Did India ask our permission when they created, trained, armed and funded the terrorist ? This is a ********** always looking out for the interest of our age old adversary.

    Senewi Thursday, 18 October 2018 12:17 PM

    The PM has no right to discuss with India on this matter

    S.P.Ramkumar Thursday, 18 October 2018 01:54 PM
