The German Ambassador to Sri Lanka, Joern Rohde, in twitter message today (23), revealed that many western diplomats had met with UPFA members for discussions.
"Why this unfair criticism at Canadian HC and members of the diplomatic Community? Last Tuesday around a dozen envoys including Canadian HC and myself met with 4 leading UFPA MPs/Ministers on their request. We respected their request for confidentiality,” the German envoy said.
This was in response to parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa's tweet with regard to the comments he made about western diplomats meeting with the UNP to discuss the current constitutional crisis.
The Canadian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, David McKinnon, shot back at the young parliamentarian yesterday on twitter over a comment he made on the United National Party (UNP) and Tamil National Alliance (TNA) meeting diplomats in Colombo to discuss the political crisis.
Namal Rajapaksa went on the back foot by stating that he was not criticizing the diplomatic community.
