I couldn’t meet MR due to the time factor-Indian PM
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said he couldn’t meet Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa in New York as the dates given were not convenient to him, India Times reported.
“I would have had no hesitation in meeting him. He asked for a meeting on dates which were not convenient to me, because I came to New York only on the 27th and he asked for a meeting between 24th and 27th. So the meeting could not be arranged. There is no other reason,” Dr. Singh told reporters on his flight back home.
Commenting on the 13th Amendment, the Indian Prime Minister said, “Our views are well known as far as the devolution of more powers to the Northern Province is concerned. On an umpteen number of occasions, we have discussed with the Sri Lankan President the need to implement the 13th Amendment. Therefore, our position is fully well known to the Government of Sri Lanka.”
