A top UN official met Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) front-liner and former minister Basil Rajapaksa at his home on Thursday and discussed the latest political trends in Sri Lanka.

Mr. Rajapaksa told Daily Mirror that Mari Yamasitha, the head of the Asia and the Pacific Division of the United Nations Department of Political Affairs meeting him showed the international community's keenness to engage with the SLPP after its victory in the local government elections.

He said the status of the national unity government was also discussed.

“I told them the unity government was virtually nonexistent at the moment,” he said. (Kelum Bandara)

    The Officials meeting ,non existing individuals in Government, should avoid. They should meet them with the permission of theGovernment.Otherwise this will bring embarrassing to thegovernment

    At last speaks the truth, the government is non existence because of stupid statements the President made during the local government campaign to steal votes from UNP.

    BASIL NOT A MEMBER OF SLPP. PRESENTLY HE IS A STATELESS PERSON AND WE DO NOT KNOW HOW AND WHY UN OFFICIAL MET HIM AT HIS RESIDENCE

    Justica USA.. Saturday, 10 March 2018 11:56 PM

    Isnt Basil a US citizen? How can he be involved in Politics in SL? Kumar Gunarathnam who held Australian n SL citizenship was jailed for doing so ..why is a UN official meeting Basil AT HOME by- passing protocol?Basil must not be involved in politics. He raped the countrys wealth while holding US citizenship. He shouldnt be in the board of any politucal party...what a shame, we have 2 sets of ruless

    Basil the US citizen was severely warned by the UN official for conspiring to topple a democratically elected government in Sri Lanka.
