Sri Lanka's High Commissioner in New Delhi, Milinda Moragoda, is poised to conclude his term and return to Sri Lanka during the first week of October, informed sources said.

The envoy's decision to step down from his position was reportedly communicated to President Ranil Wickremesinghe.

Mr. Moragoda, a non-career diplomat, undertook a critical role in New Delhi after being appointed to the post by former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa. This strategic diplomatic assignment, one of the most prominent in Sri Lanka's Foreign Service, involved fostering and strengthening ties between the two nations.

During his time as High Commissioner, Mr. Moragoda worked out a comprehensive strategy to elevate bilateral relations with India with a focus on connectivity initiatives, including the interconnection of the power grids of Sri Lanka and India. (Kelum Bandara)

I doubt all these achievements were not win win, we have given into India's proposals and not otherwise. Indians are on the path of acquiring the world. Few days ago I boarded to Srilankan heading to Melbourne, full of Indians working in Melbourne, talking loudly in their own languages across seats with no consideration to other passengers. They are not Australians, carrying Indian Passports. Watching this whole episode over 9 hrs to Melbourne, I thought Sri Lanka would become and India. God Save Sri Lanka.

Was he ask to leave, or sacked for his bogus statements. We all know that he is a big fart but no chit.

Well moragoda s term will be over soon. The end result will be Srilankans will end up as slaves of India. Srilankan territory will be used as a battle ground in the near future by the global superpowers

Who is responsible!!!????? My take, or reckoning is, “those who used the embattlement of China/India relationship for ulterior purposes, which sadly, we could have well avoided; DIDN’T!?

One salesman will be back and another Salesman will be sent there with another list of national assets to be sold. What is the difference.
