Sri Lanka does not deal with provincial government but rather with the central government of India, Media Minister Keheliya Rambukwella stated today (June 9) while answering questions regarding the resolution passed by the Tamil Nadu general assembly.
The Tamil Nadu general assembly yesterday adopted a resolution to impose economic sanctions on Sri Lanka in view of their issues regarding the treatment of Tamils in the country and the allegations of human rights abuses.
Minister Rambukwella stated that Sri Lanka is not concerned with the decisions taken by provincial governments in India while it will rather respond to decisions taken by the Indian Central Government regarding bilateral affairs.
