There is no plan to send the Indian Army to Sri Lanka for whatever purpose, sources from the Indian High Commission in Colombo said today.

The High Commission was responding to some Indian media reports to that effect.

Earlier, Indian based PTI said quoting official sources that “Indian Army is readying separate teams to be deployed in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Afghanistan to help those countries boost capabilities to deal with rising cases of coronavirus.”

India, don’t try to intimidate us just because Britain created you from isolated bits and pieces into one unitary state. Sri Lanka and it’s Army are handling this covid-19 crisis infinitely better than your country.

We don't need another IPKF. Let's manage our affairs as we are doing great on this "imported" virus. We are too dependent on India and China to the extent they manipulate us as they wish.
