Reports of Indian troops sent to Sri Lanka false says High Commission

COLOMBO: India has denied all reports that have emerged saying that it is sending troops to Sri Lanka.


Senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy had earlier said in a tweet that India should send troops to Sri Lanka if requested by Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.


The Indian High Commission in Colombo has clarified India's stand over the Sri Lankan problem and said that the country stands with the people of Sri Lanka.

"The High Commission would like to categorically deny speculative reports in sections of media and social media about India sending her troops to Sri Lanka. These reports and such views are also not in keeping with the position of the Government of India" it tweeted, IANS reported.


"The spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs of India clearly stated today that India stands with the people of Sri Lanka as they seek to realise their aspirations for prosperity and progress through democratic means and values, established institutions and constitutional framework," the High Commission added.


Swamy, in his tweet, had said, "Both Gotabaya and Mahinda Rajapaksa were elected in a free election with thumping majority. How can India allow a mob to overturn such a legitimate election? Then no democratic country in our neighbourhood will be safe. If Rajapaksa wants India's military help we must give."
