Mahinda to meet Modi

13 Mar 2015 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa is due to meet visiting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi tomorrow.

Mr. Rajapaksa confirmed the meet up last evening when he attended the opening ceremony of a photo-exhibition in Colombo.

“I am due to meet the Indian Prime Minister tomorrow. I will speak of our discussion following the meeting tomorrow,” he said.

He seemed to evade questions that were posed by the journalists, when one reporter asked whether he could respond to the rumours circulating of his possible entry to politics. The only answer he gave to that query was, “I am and have always have been an SLFP-er...”

Meanwhile, when inquired by the journalists of his opinions of the proposed national government concept due to be established, he said he did not have any comments and reverted the question to SLFP General Secretary and former Minister Anura Priyadharshana Yapa who also attended the event.
