Colombo (News 1st); If India is more interested in developing Sri Lankan Ports, it should first start with developing the Oluvil Harbour, said JVP Politburo Member Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa.

He said the United States of America intervened in the country's affairs after it was made clear India is Sri Lanka's big brother, and that was the very reason why the US sent its citizen to contest the Presidential Election.

Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa said if one looks at the 2019 April Attacks, the Presidential Election, the hand-over of Fuel Tanks to India, the hand-over of management at the Mattala Airpot to India, and other related matters, one would be able to see the greater picture.

He said a key witness in the 2019 April Attacks, the wife of a bomber had fled to India and yet the Indian Foreign Minister during his recent visit to Sri Lanka nor the President during his visit to India made any mention of the importance of this witness.

India's intervention in Sri Lanka is far more serious, warned Dr. Jayatissa adding Ranil Wickremesinghe used to be their obedient associate and no he cannot engage in any activity as he does not have a mandate anymore.

He said the campaign which was launched at the Shangri-La Hotel on Robotics, Oracle Database, Nano-Technology as well as Artificial Intelligence eventually ended in Anuradhapura at the person who provides red string to be worn on their wrists.
