Following the unanimous resolution of the Tamil Nadu Assembly urging the Centre to snap ties with Sri Lanka and cease to be friendly with the nation, Sri Lanka has reacted by calling the move ‘disturbing’ and ‘exaggerated’.
The Lankan External Affairs Ministry released a statement saying, ‘We would like to invite all those who make unfounded and exaggerated allegations as well as unrealistic demands as solutions to Sri Lanka`s future to visit the country and ascertain the progress on the ground in terms of rebuilding the country.
‘Strident demands to stop calling Sri Lanka a friendly country by some are disturbing and do not relate at all to the continuing friendship and cooperation between India and Sri Lanka that has stood the test of time and finds expression today in a multi-faceted relationship encompassing all regions of India and all aspects of modern life including substantive economic interaction.’
