COLOMBO: The Indian High Commission has categorically denied speculative reports in sections of media and social media about India sending her troops to Sri Lanka.
In a press release issued on Sunday night on July 10, it said that these reports and such views are also not in keeping with the position of the Government of India.
Meanwhile, Indian BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has suggested to send Indian Military to support Rajapaksa family in Sri Lanka.
“Both Gotabaya and Mahinda Rajapaksha were elected in a free election with thumping majority. How can India allow a mob to overturn such a legitimate election?” he questioned on Twitter.
“Then no democratic country in our neighbourhood will be safe. If Rajapaksa wants India’s military help we must give” he added.
Subramaniam Swamy is a close friend of former Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
