The meeting between President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and the members of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) which was to be scheduled today (15) afternoon has been cancelled yet again due to another Sinhala political party SJB protest.
Senior sources in the government confirmed to the Colombo media the meeting will not take place, as the SJB protest will kick off at 2pm. The TNA meeting was scheduled to be held at 3pm.
Since the Sri Lankan president has assumed duty, he has not met any of the Tamil political party members.
Meanwhile, Indian media reports that the Minister of Finance Basil Rajapaksa is scheduled to pay a visit to India. According to those reports, Rajapaksa is scheduled to leave for India today.
In addition to the US $ 500 million loan agreed upon by India, another $ 1 billion loan has been requested from India and the purpose of Basil Rajapaksa’s visit to India is to hold relevant discussions.
